In October he announced his return as "Superman", but the new studio management has other plans.

Henry Cavill is fired, his fans suffer with him.

After three "Superman" films of his own, the DC franchise is over for him.

British actor Henry Cavill, who has portrayed the role of "Man of Steel" since 2013, has now made public on Instagram after a conversation with filmmakers James Gunn and Peter Safran that he will not be returning as "Superman" after all.

Dealing with this decision is "not exactly easy" for him.

It was only in October that the Warner Bros. film studio asked him to announce his return in a new film.

However, Cavill respects this personnel decision.

"So life is."

At about the same time, James Gunn commented on this news, which apparently surprised Cavill, on Twitter.

There he announces that the next "Superman" film will be about a young Superman.

Henry Cavill, now 39, is probably too old for those responsible.

James Gunn and Peter Safran are the heads of DC Studios, which is responsible for shaping the DC film universe within Warner Bros.

They only came to these posts on November 1, as reported by

.

Shortly after Cavill's return as "Superman" was announced beginning with a cameo appearance in the movie "Black Adam."

Fans suffer with Henry Cavill and are angry

Particularly bitter for Henry Cavill: He only resigned from the leading role in the successful Netflix series "The Witcher" in October, presumably also to have more time for his return as "Superman", as the specialist magazine

suspects.

Now he has lost his two most important roles.

His numerous fans – 23 million people follow him on Instagram alone – suffer with him.

For many people, Henry Cavill was the ideal cast for Superman.

This decision by DC Studios was hotly debated on Twitter, and the terms "Superman" and "Henry Cavill" were trending on December 14th.

The dominant tenor here: Cavill's expulsion will have a devastating effect on the "debris field of the DC universe".

His portrayal of "Superman" was the mainstay of the DC franchise.

Here you will find 9 tweets that convey this mood well.

2. Journalist Josh Horowitz only spoke to Cavill at the end of October about his planned return as "Superman" and notes: The actor loved the role and played it with passion.

Nothing will make this moment and this night less meaningful.

I know Henry felt love for his Superman role back then.

3. This German fan put it more directly: DC is "completely screwed" because with Cavill they threw out the "perfect Superman".

4. This user strikes the same note: Warner Bros is the "most idiotic entertainment company" because they fired the most authentic "Superman" actor.

Warner Bros. is the dumbest entertainment company.

You had an actor who looked and acted like the most authentic "Superman" imaginable and you just wasted him.

Can't make it up.

5. This user speaks of the "debris field of the DC universe", from which "the best" has now been taken with Cavill.

6. This industry insider clarifies: This decision is a "very bad start" for the new phase of the DC Universe.

The studio ignores its own fan base.

The DC Extended Universe (DCEU) has come to an end.

This is the beginning of the DC Universe.

Henry Cavill, arguably the greatest Superman of all time, the Superman of this generation, has been booted out.

To put it bluntly, this is a very bad start.

DC doesn't listen to its own fan base.

Extremely disappointing and unsatisfactory.

7. James Gunn's plans to make a young Superman the protagonist of the next film also draw a lot of ridicule.

8. For this user, Warner Bros. and DC who don't care about their own fans can go straight to hell.

Now that it's official that Henry won't be Superman anymore, Warner and DC can go to hell for me.

A company that doesn't give a damn about the fans who have been there from the start is not worth following.

9. In just a few words, this fan sums up the mood.

Henry Cavill is my Superman.

I will miss him.
