For a long period, Henry Cavill became the embodiment of Superman. But the fans were devastated when James Gunn broke the news that DC had let go of Cavill, instead the franchise hired David Corenswet as the younger Superman in Gunn’s reconstructed DCU.
Cavill’s future in Hollywood seemed to be skeptical, especially after being fired from DC and existing ‘The Witcher‘ for future seasons. However, after losing two of the major projects, Cavill finally landed on his dream project which is the adaptation of the video game ‘Warhammer 40,000‘ into a television series.
