With a new phase for the DC Universe, James Gunn has already put his plans to action. With the new movie ‘The Flash’, the first phase of DC has started rolling. And a lot of changes are happening at the studios. This includes the removal of some known faces and addition of some new ones.
With these decisions, James Gunn is now eyeing the superstar action hero, Tom Cruise. Cruise is one of the biggest names in Hollywood. And he has not been associated with any superhero universe yet- Marvel or DC. But that seems to change. However, fans are upset that Gunn ended Henry Cavill’s contract because of his age.
Why Was Henry Cavill’s DCU Contract Canceled?
It has been revealed by Henry Cavill on his social media that he never had a written contract with DC for his role as Superman. In the new DC Universe, Cavill will not be returning as Superman. James Gunn previously cited that Cavill’s age was not appropriate for Superman’s role as well.
Due to the cancellation of the contract, Henry Cavill was also removed from ‘The Flash‘. He was set to reprise his role as Superman in the film as well. Fans were very upset with this news. And now that James Gunn is eyeing Tom Cruise, it is evident that age is not a big factor. Fans are even more furious with the director’s decision.

This raises the question about the actor’s age. Viewers are angry that James Gunn thought Henry Cavill would be too old to play Superman but he is considering Tom Cruise who is 60 to play Green Lantern.
