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.... One of those films didn’t give him a whole lot of dialogue and another one had him be dead for half of it.

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. They’d be getting rid of Gal Gadot.

A small price to pay IMO. She completely looks the part but I am certain there are more talented actresses out there who would be better in the role.

you can access all the wisdom and trivialities of human culture with an idle tip of your fingers, just look it up. What I cant access if YOUR TAKE/INTERPRETATION on what I will find once I Google it. Earth to Planet Len: your are smart fellow, you'll get the picture without me lending you a telescope.

I hope that I’m a smart fellow, too, Tristan, and like Len I haven’t the foggiest idea what you’re talking about. (But, then, I don’t follow movie/celebrity/actor news.) I looked around on the ‘net, and the only things I can find in this regard are complimentary, about his charity work.

wonder who will replace him. I rather have had ben officially gone but fresh actors for superman and batman (Ryan Gosling) would be very good. 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) Joe Manganiello was the 2nd choice before Cavill was originally cast. If what he said is true, he didn't get the part due to scheduling conflicts. He's still a good choice for the role, though a bit older now. Among the choices you listed, only Armie Hammer is a good choice. Matt bomer and Taylor Kitsch are both too small, Brandon Routh too wooden.

Anyway, my choice for the part is still Brandon Routh, though sometimes I feel I’m the only person who liked Superman Returns and his performance in it. (I know, I know—I’m not. I’ve got a whole thread somewhere around here and most of the people there liked it too. But with how negatively everyone talks about the movie I sometimes I feel that way.)
Also, he looks like he stepped out of the pages of a comic book.

I don’t “follow” any particular genres of movies, or movie news at all. But I watch superhero movies. Even you know that.

To be honest, I don’t “get” the “MeToo” movement either, though I try to keep my politics to myself here. And I can’t see why the “creepy stuff” about Cavill, which seems mostly based on that “Nick is Swift” article to which you linked (and which seems to be rather silly gossipy stuff), is worse than the whole lot of other Hollywood actors. In fact, compared to many of them, it seems relatively tame.

Meh. He was okay I guess but he still acts way too stiff and wooden. Doesnt have the warmth that Clark Kent needs. I think Brandon Routh was a better Kent and Superman.

He was a better Kent but not a better Superman in my opinion. And he was a better Kent because he was able to capture what only Christopher Reeve was before, the concept of Clark as an actual disguise. And I disagree that he is too wooden and doesn't have any warmth, watch any of his interviews or other performances, and he has charisma oozing out of him. It was the way he was directed and edited.

Doubtful Ryan Gosling wants to take on the role as Batman considering the current state the DCEU is in, Ryan Gosling should stay away from the DCEU and do projects that are you know....good.

You know you're in trouble when a plank of wood of an actor won't stick around.

Good. He's the male equivalent of Daisy Ridley.
