I'm ok with having some humour, but I worry about focusing too much on comedy. Let's not have another Superman III.
Seconded!

Do you think this means he's definitely done playing Supes?Disappointed, but also excited at the prospect of new blood. The casting circus is always a fun (and maddening) time. I just hope we don't have to wait 5 years for it to start, lol. If they used Supergirl as a vehicle for introducing a new Supes, I would be happy.
I think it's a pretty good bet.Do you think this means he's definitely done playing Supes?
Screenrant had this little 'pearl of wisdom'...I think it's a pretty good bet.
The short answer is that The Witcher may not affect Man of Steel 2 and Cavill's future as Superman too much - or it might.
What a blistering observation! Well it will not affect his tenure as Superman at all...but it might.Screenrant had this little 'pearl of wisdom'...

I mean what other outcomes are there?! LOL
If I were to make a prediction, I'd say yeah he's done. To me it's not about he can do both Witcher and Superman. To me it's about the fact that Warner Bros is clearly in no hurry to set up a new Superman film or use Cavill again. They've moved on from Superman and Justice League, and Cavill is moving on with his career.
They are clearly in no hurry in locking up Man of Steel 2 or a Solo Superman film, which still has no release date, script or director.
Very possibly. If Cavill is gone I wouldn't mind betting they won't be in any hurry at all to recast and instead will be actively pushing Supergirl as the DCEU flag-bearer.Sad thing is WB probably has no immediate plans for Superman. Could be a long long time before we see another film.
Seems like a safe bet Cavill is gone. He was okay in the role. He had a few moments, but never really shined IMO. The script did him no favors.
The franchise is in need of a desperate overhaul and moving on from Cavill seemed like a necessity if they are going to change the public perception of future films.

Hopefully the next actor and director is able to capture of magic of the character.
I feel that pretty much sums up JL.WB did the "course corrections" with JL, but at a price (i.e. the quality of that movie.)
Nobody in the MoS-verse, including Cavill, is irreplaceable. I say do a full reboot. Throw out the baggage and start anew.
