<h2>The truth behind axing Henry Cavill and his Superman</h2>
While the news of not continuing with some of the major fan-favorite DC comic characters&#8217; stories ignited a huge flame, James Gunn revealed a new plan for the DC Studios. He clarified that The Tudors actor was never fired. Stressing the fact that the two actors, namely Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill, were not a part of the upcoming projects, James Gunn spoke the truth, <a href="https://screenrant.com/superman-henry-cavill-fired-james-gunn/">reported by Screen Rant.</a>

&#8220;Henry was just not hired to be Superman in the Superman movie. There was never a deal there for another movie,&#8221; said James Gunn. When Cavill left the DC universe, he also wished the best for the upcoming projects of the new DC bosses. While recently, when <a href="https://netflixjunkie.com/netflix-news-a-robert-pattinson-esque-reboot-james-gunn-might-follow-matt-reeves-footsteps-to-revive-superman-in-the-new-dcu/">Gunn was announcing his future vision</a> and upcoming projects, he cleared the misunderstanding the fandom had.
Though the Superman actor has kept the iconic cape aside, Gunn is ready to give it a new face in 2025. The DCU reboot will see Superman: Legacy, the DCU installment in the upcoming years.
