Henry Cavill, who played Superman in three films, is parting ways with Warner Brothers. Contract talks for a Superman cameo in 'Shazam' fell through due to scheduling conflicts, as Cavill signed on for Netflix's 'The Witcher'. Warner Brothers is shifting focus to a Supergirl movie, sidelining Cavill's Superman. The studio is unlikely to make a solo Superman film soon, viewing the character like James Bond, requiring new actors after a certain run. Meanwhile, other DC films like 'Wonder Woman 1984', 'Aquaman', and 'Flash' are progressing. Warner Brothers aims to revitalize the DC Universe, which lags behind Marvel in success.
