The world has not been the same ever since Henry Cavill stepped down as DC’s shining armor, the Superman of Hollywood. Just when things could not get worse, the British A-lister gave another major blow to the industry while announcing his exit as the Geralt of Rivia from The Witcher. The world has definitely not recovered from the heartbreaks but seems like things are now hitting an all-time low. 

Although fans were impossibly disheartened at the bad news surrounding Cavill, they still had a few hopes for their favorite in the Highlander Remake. But it seems like, these few years are not exactly doing Henry Cavill a favor. 2023 might have just hinted at another potential shock to movie freaks and most importantly, the diligent followers of the Enola Holmes star.
