The changing of the guard is something that h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ens. I respect that. James and Peter have a universe to build.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n     The sunsetting of Cavill\u2019s time as Superman was the clearest indication yet that Gunn and Safran are mounting a substantial overhaul of DC, a reboot that will cut significant, if not most, ties to the previous regimes that handled DC <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a> for Warner Bros. Cavill also shot a cameo in <em>The Flash<\/em>, one of four DC movies set to release in 2023, but sources say that cameo, along with that of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, is now being cut given that the studio chose to not go forward with director Patty Jenkins\u2019 version of <em>Wonder Woman 3.<\/em> <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Cavill found himself in a confluence of different headwinds at the studio. Dwayne Johnson pushed for his return via the much-hyped cameo in <em>Black Adam<\/em> and a potential linchpin for Johnson\u2019s own DC universe franchise. But <em>Black Adam <\/em>has grossed $389 million worldwide, its soft performance calling into question Johnson\u2019s much-touted plans for a sequel and an eventual Adam vs. Superman movie even before Gunn\u2019s decision. The studio had its own plan as new film co-chiefs Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy wanted to make a <em>Man of Steel<\/em> sequel, having <em>Peaky Blinders<\/em> creator Steven Knight to write the treatment. (Classic character Brainiac was to have been the villain of that piece, a source says.) <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cIn the end, he was a pawn in Dwayne\u2019s failed attempt to control a piece of DC,\u201d one insider observers. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Cavill, sources say, did not have a deal in place to return as Superman, only a verbal agreement that the studio would develop future projects. He was paid $250,000 each for his cameos. The actor in recent years had a resurgence thanks to starring in Netflix\u2019s popular fantasy series <em>The Witcher<\/em>, which saw him earning $1 million per episode. Cavill left the show this fall, although it\u2019s unclear if the promise of more Superman appearances were behind his exit.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Gunn and Safran are well aware of the sensitivities behind axing the popular Justice League cast by Zack Snyder as well as the sensitivities of parting ways with high-profile and popular talent. Forgoing a call to agents or producers, the executives met with Cavill to discuss their plans and seemed to indicate a potential new role down the road. The pair have also made overtures to Ben Affleck, aka Batman, asking him to direct a DC film for them while Jason Momoa \u2014 who may be done as Aquaman \u2014 has met with the duo as well, possibly about playing a new role.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Cavill has already lined up another franchise, <em>Warhammer 40,000<\/em> at Amazon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    As for Gunn, he responded to a fan who accused Warner Bros. and DC of stringing Cavill along to goose<em> Black Adam\u2019<\/em>s opening weekend. Said Gunn in a comment on Instagram this week: \u201cEverything with Black Adam happened before I was around.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    <em>A version of this story first appeared in the Dec. 16 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/subscribe.hollywoodreporter.com\/sub\/?p=THR&amp;f=saleb_2&amp;s=IH2205THRS\">Click here to subscribe<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n!function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\nif (f.fbq) return;\nn = f.fbq = function() {n.callMethod ? n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);};\nif (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\nn.push = n;\nn.loaded = !0;\nn.version = '2.0';\nn.queue = [];\nt = b.createElement(e);\nt.async = !0;\nt.src = v;\ns = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n}(window, document, 'script', 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '352999048212581');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
