Maybe he saw Donald Trump’s version of Superman. 🫠🫠🫠🫠

When FinnWittrock rolls into production like:

Boooo

Black Adam movie was meh.. until the very end with the Superman scene.... Now it was pointless

Have a great Weekend Ahead … AMONGDEADMEN … Check It out … THANK YOU !

Was the role wokeish?

Actually… he’s out for now as the upcoming movies will be about a young Superman… but he’ll more than likely return for future films

James Gunn fucking up.

OMG! Will they still air Rudolph?

Fuuuuuck.

Politics my friends

He was fired by DC

Good.

Next!!!

go woke go broke

Make the next superman a black like they did Ariel. Representation matters Superman

the directors did, not him. Please get it right and fix that headline title

Oh he!!

never seen him and Trump in the same place

This is ridiculous 😔

I'm pretty sure he didn't do a 180 this isnt even what he said in his insta msgs about him not being superman its a company decision C'mon tmz you could have just copied & pasted instead of making up rhetoric for clicks, story was big enough without you changing the narrative!

I think that's what the blond items page has been referring to all year...

He's been replaced

DAMN

Bro what?.. I thought he was great and also thought he was the only one worth keeping for the new DCU. What a fumble.

Messes up the whole 'Superman, Shazam, and Black Adam' arc. I wonder how TheRock feels?

TmZ stop ya shit he ain't do anything this is the higher ups fault

He's more than likely turned it down because he's going to be the next James Bond. Currently the bookies fav and came in quite a few points pricewise.

The new producers will change Superman's race thus destroying the franchise.

Time to FireJamesGunn

Lol bro he’s literally what you got to compete with Marvel and you let him go. WB is so dumb.

Noel Skum

TMZ I just know they paid you guys to word the headline as if he opted out instead of the truth of they fired him smh

He opted out of The Witcher to be Superman. They did him dirty.

Thought he was awful as Superman anyway

Misleading. Studio did a 180 after telling him he could announce it.

They didn't pay him Robert Downey Jr money!

It wasn't Cavill that did a 180. He was back, then Gunn took over and shitcanned him.

He's too old for Superman

Cavill didn't do a 180 WB did. Do better

America wants a black transgender Superman who identifies as a cucumber

As far as I'm concerned, James gunn needs to be fired

DC deceived Henry Cavill and used him to sell them Black Adam tickets 😕

Noooooo, the suit was the best part, in all the other movies he has too much clothes ☺️

He’s boring anyway

So he’s ghosting Superman AND Witcher!! I’m done ☠️

Blame James....

He didn’t do the 180, he was dropped by JG

TMZ wording it as if it was Henry’s decision

L

What’s the point in being Clark Kent then ? If he don’t wanna be Superman ?

Some Superman. Bring in Ben Affleck superman

uh oh..

If he's out then I'm out, that dude is literally the best super man in the history of dc
