There aren't even any rumors that he's going be replaced, it's just this one article that posits the question of "May he be replaced?"

Could Henry Cavill Be Replaced As Superman?


“Back t the classic costume”

I SWEAR’TAGAWDDDDD If they put Supes in that gay asss tight spandex I AM DONE

Say what you will about Snyder but his costumes for all characters have been unmatched .. wtfffff WB ????

Lol what do you love about him? He barely spoke in his featuref film In BvS they literally blew the film up as he was about to have some character development and speak his mind for first time on screen. Still waiting on that. Superman was a cameo in JL.

They haven't given him much to do other than stare solemnly off into the distance.

:dead:

Man DC Universe is a fukking mess. How are you gonna replace the 2 key players before shyts really even taken off.

Imagine if Cap and Tony got replaced after the first Avengers :dahell:

But they wouldn't do that though.

Downey, Jr owns the Tony Stark character on screen. He IS Tony Stark.

Same with Chris Evans and Captain America.

Neither Affleck or Cavill have done that with their respective characters. Not even close. Now, part of that is weak writing, but still. :hubie:

Now if they tried to replace Gal Gadot? :usure:

Or even to a lesser degree, Margot Robbie? :francis:

That would be equivalent of replacing Stark and Cap.

If true, WB messing up big time. People LOVE him as Supes. Give the man a DOPE storyline and a trilogy .. he deserves better than this

I hate WB. The DCEU is prime for great success, they just have terrible all round incompetent management

You’re obviously a huge fan but he could be recast and no one would know the difference, Ernie.

I loved the first man of steel movie... :manny: He has the look of superman I wish they write his characterization better tho.. blame WB for having weak writers not writing the material to showcase him when he speaks, usually when he does he's meant to inspire others... if man of steel 2 does get created they can do it there but...:manny:



I loved this scene...:mjcry: so majestic with the music...

I like this scene too but this is what im getting at. All he's doing is flying. You could replace any actor with Cavil in this scene. The music and voice over makes this scene. Not Superman, not Henry Cavil.

Really?

What did Affleck bring to the character?
He nailed the brooding, dark, apathetic to everything but his own cause vigilante in BvS, but the flip they did in JL ruined it. If they had said fukk it and done The Dark Knight series w him it would have been greatness but he got watered down and seemed bored and disinterested in JL

On topic if they replace Cavill, might as well scrap the DCEU and reboot with Shazam

I mean, just don't see Affleck as irreplaceable, breh. A capable actor could have done what he did. And more, imo. :hubie:

In fairness, you are right the powers that be running the ship created a mess where actors didn't have the opportunity to shine.

Nah I agree, he’s replaceable I’m just saying he did bring something and attempt to put a spin on the character that wasn’t just “I’m Batman” and I liked his Bruce, but like you said a lot of actors could do it. I still would have liked to see Armie Hammer’s take or Jake Gyllenhall or I saw a rumor about Luke Evans I’m game for just about anyone
