IIRC, the 2nd choice to play Superman before Cavill was cast was Manganiello. He didn't land the role because of his schedule with True Blood. I wonder if he's still a viable option.

He had potential to be great. Let's hope WB/DC can achieve success without him.

Armie Hammer (taller, American) Taylor Kitsch (unlikely given his past filmography) Brandon Routh (I disapprove but I know he has his fanbase) Matt Bomer (Not a bad choice imo) DJ Cotrona (Who? He was George Miller's choice)

The writing was on the wall when it was reported Cavill's representatives and Warner Bros. couldn't reach an agreement with his contract and when Cavill signed onto to do The Witcher. In the end, this is a darn shame because he has the chops to be a really good Superman, but wasn't given the right script to work with. While the negotiations haven't officially been settled, I still hope Warner Bros. can work something out.

so it's final then, apart from Shazam cameo? I had mixed feelings on this. On the plus side Cavill was a decent and outstanding Superman in looks and performance. I think he is one of the few who can stand next to C Reeves, having a convincing character arc and all. Then again, Cavill seemed like a greedy douche and creepy omega an a personal level. That is not suitable for the character, even an edgy version of Supes (which I prefer) must be pure of heart. The villain or rogue role like in M:I VI may be more his thing. I wouldn't mind seeing him replace Daniel Craig as 007.

As I wrote in the main film board: On the other hand, I think I’d be OK with his being cast as Bond instead, especially if DC/Warner Bros. is able to find another really good Superman.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
VERY big mistake letting Cavill go, IMO.
Good for Cavill though. They hampered him from the get go...
In MOS they gave him a director that is historically not good with actors but is more interested in how things look than the substance of the scenes. No where is this more obvious than in Sucker Punch. See that movie for soulless visuals over substance any time.
In BvS they made him second fiddle as an actor to Affleck, and as a character to Batman. He's barely "present" in BvS.
And in Justice League he's basically a glorified cameo. And that whole mustache thing. Jeezus! Forget about them doing any Justice League sequels or anything.
Cavill was shafted from the get go, poor guy. I hope The Witcher treats him better. And as for Affleck, he SHOULD take this opportunity to leave. He's better off too. Its' clear to me now that DCEU doesn't know what the fuck they're doing.

Brit: check - looks different enough from Craig: check - self centered asshole: check - PC dinosaur: check - good looks/athletic: check - likes women half his age: check - dream of money rather than Oscars: check - likes his Martini shaken: check...it's a no brainer.

Not good news. Cavill could have been a great SUperman, just was never given a chance. That said, him leaving apparently means he gets the role of Geralt Rivia for The Witcher. That's pretty cool. But if he truly is leaving I'd say don't replace him immediately. The smart move for DC would be simply not make another Superman movie for the next decade, concentrate instead on other up and coming characters like WW, Aquaman, Flash, etc. Heck, get rid of Batman as well, concentrate on Deathstroke instead. Be creative DC! He was in three movies....

It's quite the contrary, actually.

Talk amongst yourselves...
It's like a seismic shift. I felt it in my cojones.

Why don't they just reboot the whole mess and have done with it? General audiences hate the DCU enough as it is. I can't imagine finding out that the 2 main characters are going to be played by different actors will improve people's general opinion of the CBM trainwreck.
