“Henry was made fun of by a lot of people”: DC boss James Gunn comments on Henry Cavill’s departure from Superman

Is he Superman, isn’t he? The guesswork surrounding a reunion with Henry Cavill in the role of DC figurehead has reached almost absurd proportions in recent years. There were cryptic videos on social media platforms and conflicting statements from different quarters. All the confusion culminated in a cameo from Henry Cavill as Superman in Black Adam – teasing an epic clash between Dwayne Johnson’s magical anti-hero and the Man of Steel in the credits scene.

But instead, the disillusionment only followed a little later: as part of the restructuring of the DCEU, which is to be rebooted as the DCU, bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran announced that Henry Cavill would no longer be part of the new DC movie universe. , but the prominent role is reassigned. Many fans were equally shocked and confused. As part of the presentation of the DCU’s new film and series projects, James Gunn has now again commented on Henry Cavill’s case and found clear words.

Clear criticism of the handling of Henry Cavill

Apparently the new DC team never made plans with Henry Cavill as Superman: “We didn’t fire Henry. Hendrik never did [für die neuen DCU-Filme] form. For me, it’s about who do I want to cast as Superman and who do the filmmakers we work with want to see as Superman? And for me and the story we want to tell, it’s not Henry.”

Additionally, James Gunn sharply criticized the way former DC and Warner executives treated Henry Cavill: “I love Henry, I think he’s a great guy. I think he has been fooled by many people, including the previous regime of this company. Still, this Superman isn’t Henry for a number of reasons.”

The simplest and most obvious of these reasons: the new DCU Superman would be considerably younger, said to be in his mid-twenties, and just beginning his superhero career. The now 39-year-old Cavill with the best will in the world is too old for that.

So James Gunn is really cleaning up at DC – and also surprisingly direct criticism of the behavior of his predecessors. Whether DC’s new boardroom will do any better remains to be seen. So we’re definitely going to see a new Kryptonian superhero. We will know who that will be no later than July 11, 2025, when “Superman: Legacy‘ begin in movie theaters.
