Although I am a fan of Warhammer 40k and Cavill, I'm a little concerned he's going into that genre. As much a I love it, it is one of the more absurd fictional universes, with giant holes in the story and logic of how the world works. Honestly I can't quite put my finger on why as an adult i still find it so fascinating. I'm not sure it can be brought into the mainstream and be taken seriously by those who already aren't on board with it, and Cavill might be hurting his career. I do think whoever is making the Lore for GW these days are taking major steps to adjusting the world to a more mature one that make sense. I also understand that the lore had to keep in mind that this is all based on a tabletop game where any faction needs to be justified in fighting any other faction at any time, which produces a lot pressure to make in world lore be very illogical at times. Still, if there is a list of people who could pull it off through passion, talent, and popular good will, Henry Cavill would have to be on it.

Cavil was one of the very few positives in the DC universe lately. A classy dude with some solid acting chops. I also hate to see him move on from the Witcher role, but the writers are destroying that franchise, so I don't blame him. He cares about the source material and it shows in his portrayal of Geralt. The books are really good, and I think that respecting Sapkowski's stories on screen would have yielded a series that appealed to both the people that loved that games and the portion of the public that doesn't play video games. There were some real opportunity in the Witcher series, particularly with Cavil in the role of Geralt, and it was completely wasted by Netflix.

I'm a casual fan. Enough to appreciate Henry for what he's done. I mean, he's perfection! I never realized until Az's rant that this is why people care. This is why people read comics. This is why people have heroes. Hollywood doesn't have them or can portray them. Henry was your best shot at one.

They easily could have pulled a parallel universe soft reboot. Henry is beyond perfect for the role, on screen and especially off screen. The way he is able to promote a movie like Superman or the entire DCEU by being an actually corteous, charismatic and absolutely handsome sun of a gun is something that DC shouldnt overlook, especially after the disaster with Ezra Miller and Amber Heard.

If I were the DC brass I would have kept Henry, soft rebooted the universe all the way back to Man of Steel and started from there. I know MoS had it's issues and I know a lot of people didn't like it but I think it gives a pretty good base for a proper Superman portrayal, they just didn't use it. You can set it a couple years after the events of MoS and have Superman realize that he was just a passive hero before, only helping people when they were nearby and that isn't enough anymore. He's now fully dedicated himself to helping people. Stopping criminals, saving crashing airplanes, talking depressed teenage girls off of rooftops, being there for people when and where they need him. Proper hero shit. Maybe have him realize that killing Zod was wrong and vow never to take a life again. Definitely dye the suit in brighter colours. Make him be hopeful and cheerful, a beacon of light in these dark times. A goddamned inspiration like he's supposed to be. But for the love of god don't have him mope around for the entire freaking movie like BvS. SUPERMAN SMILES! Then and ONLY then, do you build the universe. You could do separate Batman, Wonder Woman etc films after MoS 2, or if you want to cash in on a group film do a worlds finest film (Batman/Superman. my personal preference) or a Trinity film (Batman/Superman/Wonder Woman). You could recast those roles if you needed to, I still like Ben and Gal but I get recasting them if necessary. No Justice League yet. Too soon. Start introducing other characters in solo films. I don't care if people say "waah, you're just copying Marvel". So what? It works, do it. Don't genderswap or raceswap characters, that'll just alienate your core audience and won't attract enough new people to offset that. Instead, if you want to push 'the message' use existing characters. DC has hundreds of characters to choose from, from every background you can imagine. If you want a specific category, there's a character for that. And they probably have a pretty dedicated fanbase too.

Lets hope the Bond Franchise see this opportunity and we all get the role Cavill was born to play.

Drinker...your guest Heelz was so amazing!! His rant at the end was everything I feel rn!!!! What a lad!!!

Superman is one of those characters that can absolutely be older and be everything the character is supposed to be. Cavil could do the character for as long as he stays in shape (which will probably be his whole life). Cavil getting cut is one of the dumber things DC has done, and that’s saying something.

And Henry, as always, was a complete class act in how he responded.

Gutted about Cavill being out as Superman. It’s like the guy was created in lab for that role. Also, you guys are right about how he has all the traditional qualities of a leading man in Hollywood, but apparently Hollywood isn’t interested in money these days, they care more about this elusive “modern audience” they keep telling us about, but I suspect doesn’t exist in any meaningful way.

CONSTRUCTING heros! YES. Well said, Az! In a world as stressful and strained as ours, we need to learn how to be heros, we need examples to draw from, and we need precisely that kind of build in our culture now.

Heelvz was spitting facts. It moved me so much. I want to be moved. I want to be inspired. I want to be superman to be superman. I want batman to be batman.

Wish Henry Cavill all the best; a class act with so much passion for entertainment and all the interests, gaming, comics, whatever. A superb actor and I hope he gets to work with other people who share his love for source material.

Gunn is the greatest asset Disney ever had. He created them a billion dollar franchise from obscure characters that are now household names, infiltrated their competition by making them a good movie and a good series, and now burns them to the ground by throwing out everything that worked, intentionally pressing the reboot button AT THE WORST POSSIBLE TIME, and crowning himself as the Feige of the upcoming projects. If thats not an industry predator on the highest level, I dont know what is.

On one hand, it feels like a gutpunch after Henry leaves both Witcher & Superman, but on the plus side we do get him doing a 40k universe. As he actually collects and reads the lore, he's an incredible fit since he will be involved in all of the vids. Interesting that it's 40k though; does that include the Heresy series? I would suspect that occupies another license.

How Hollywood treats Henry is the most indicative thing to explain them today.
