Henry Cavill is reportedly no longer part of DC cinematic universe as Superman.
Reports claimed talks between the actor and Warner Bros have broken down, but there is yet to be any official confirmation of Cavill’s departure, either from the actor’s camp or the studio.
Cavill, who first appeared as Superman in 2013’s “Man of Steel”, and later reprised his role in “Superman V Batman” and last year’s “Justice League”, is parting ways with Warner Bros after talks of Cavill’s cameo in “Shazam!” did not come to fruition due to scheduling conflicts.

“While no decisions have been made regarding any upcoming Superman films, we’ve always had great respect for and a great relationship with Henry Cavill, and that remains unchanged,” read a statement from a Warner Bros.
According to The HollywoodReporter, a shift of focus to a Supergirl movie, which will be an origin story featuring a teen superheroine. This effectively removes an actor of Cavill’s age from the storyline’s equation given that Superman, aka Kal-El, would be an infant.
Another voice adds that the studio is unlikely to make a solo Superman film for at least several years.
Ben Affleck is also being said to depart his DCEU role as Batman, as a new, probably younger actor expected to take on the mantle in Matt Reeves’ stand-alone film on the Caped Crusader.
