Up, up and... oh dear!

Two pieces of recent news seemed to go hand-in-hand. First of all, in late October it was announced that Henry Cavill, one of the world's foremost PC gamers,: shortly after which, he was seen in a cameo at the end of Black Adam. After this, it was announced that Cavill would beIn news that would be much funnier if Cavill didn't seem like a nice man, the star has now announced that he will not, in fact, be returning as Superman in the new DC movies.

It seems clear from Cavill's statement that he was told one thing by the studio and, when these new creatives were put in charge, that all changed very quickly. "I have just had a meeting with James Hunn and Peter Safran and it's sad news, everyone," writes Cavill."I will, after all, not be returning as Superman. After being told by the studio to announce my return back in October, prior to their hire, this news isn't the easiest, but that's life. The changing of the guard is something that happens. I respect that."Cavill's disappointment is palpable, and it does seem like he's been somewhat left out to dry.

Gunn did go on to add they'd discussed other"exciting possibilities" with Cavill but that feels like something of a sop. What this means for Cavill's future, or that of the Witcher show, is anyone's guess: but given how well-choreographed these things usually are, it all feels like a bit of a mess. "My turn to wear the cape has passed, but what Superman stands for never will," ends Cavill's statement."It's been a fun ride with you all, onwards and upwards."Sign up to get the best content of the week, and great gaming deals, as picked by the editors.Receive email from us on behalf of our trusted partners or sponsors
