According to reports from Economic Times, Henry Cavill is not under contract to reprise his role as Superman. Since rebranding as DC Studios, Cavill has been in talks with co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran (who is responsible for creating DC Universe). Superman, played by Henry, will not appear on the show. Cavill confirmed the news on his social media on Social and said:"Since I won't be resurrecting as Superman, that makes sense. The studio asked me to break the news in October before they were recruited, so it isn't ideal timing, but such is life. The changing of the guard is a phenomenon that occurs. That is respected by me. It is up to James and Peter to create a universe."
Henry Cavill's unexpected departure from the role of Superman comes as the newly formed DC Studios are planning Man of Steel in a different direction than the previous Warner Bros. creative team. A.D.C. has revealed on social media that DC will be moving forward with a new Superman movie that focuses on the hero from a young age. According to reports from the Hollywood Reporter, the actor's return to Black Adam should mark his official comeback to the DCEU after a five-year hiatus. It was an important and fulfilling moment for all the fans who fought for his comeback. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson of Black Adam star reportedly fought to bring him back. The status of the DCEU is currently unknown. One thing's for sure, though, Superman will be back on the big screen, and it's not Henry Cavill playing him.

Following the shocking news that Henry Cavill won't be returning as Superman, heartbroken fans began speculating as to who might replace him as the Man of Steel. Newly appointed DC Studios co-chairman and co-CEO director James Gunn shared that the next Superman iteration will instead focus on the superhero's younger years. While expressing disappointment and stating that he "couldn't have imagined" a better Superman than Cavill, other possible replacements have been theorized. It's a storyteller, so it makes sense for a young actor to be in the lead role, according to reports from Independent. However fans have few people in mind who would be apt for the younger version of the role, few of them are; bad boy of Euphoria, Jacob Elordi, The King of Pop, Austin Butler, who played Elvis Presley in Baz Lurhman’s biopic Elvis,and Adam DiMarco, nice guy Albie of The White Lotus in season two.
