Cavill said … “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.”

He added … “Superman is still around. Everything he stands for still exists, and the examples he sets for us are still here! It’s been a fun ride with you all, onwards and upwards.”

Cavill played the role of Superman in three movies … “Man of Steel” (2013), ‘Batman V. Superman’ (2016) and “Justice League” (2017). He also had a recent cameo as Superman in “Black Adam,” starring Dwayne Johnson.

As for Gunn … he released a statement via Twitter … promising that he and Safran would soon be revealing a new and exciting Superman project. He confirmed Cavill would not be returning as the superhero because the new story focuses on Superman’s early life.
