1 Superman: Legacy Detail Makes Henry Cavill"s DC Return & Exit So Much Worse

:0:0

Summary

Henry Cavill's return as Superman in Black Adam, only to be replaced in Superman: Legacy, is unfortunate given the timeline of James Gunn's involvement.
Cavill's exit and return as Superman is made worse by the fact that DC knew he didn't fit Gunn's vision for Superman: Legacy, indicating they could have avoided the confusion.
While a Superman reboot is understandable, Cavill's portrayal of the character had the potential to be great if the DCEU had allowed him to become more like the comic book version.

A Superman: Legacy behind-the-scenes reveal makes Henry Cavill's return as Superman before the DC Universe reboot make very little sense. Cavill never properly got his time to shine as Clark Kent, with Man of Steel showing a lot of promise for the DCEU's Superman, but director Zack Snyder's vision for the character, allied with DC executives wanting to pivot away from it before Superman got to be like he is in the comics, hindered Cavill's potential as Superman. Now, James Gunn's Superman: Legacy will introduce a new Man of Steel.
Superman: Legacy has replaced Cavill for David Corenswet, with the DC Universe version of Clark Kent set to be younger than the DCEU's, although Corenswet's origin story won't be shown in his debut movie. Superman: Legacy's cast also includes names like Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nathan Fillion as the Green Lantern Guy Gardner. While the Superman reboot is exciting, it is hard to forget that, a year ago, Cavill returned as Superman in Black Adam, with the actor seemingly set to continue as Superman for years to come. That didn't come to pass, and a Superman: Legacy detail makes Cavill's whole DC exit and return way worse.

Black Adam's post-credits scene saw Cavill return as Superman for the first time since he had last appeared as the Man of Steel in 2017's Justice League. The 2022 movie set up an epic confrontation between Superman and Black Adam for the future of the DCEU, only for Cavill's exit in favor of a new Superman for the DC Universe reboot to be announced two months later. Gunn later revealed his Superman hiring timeline, which interestingly confirmed that the DCU creative chief started to work on the Superman: Legacy script months before Cavill appeared in Black Adam.
