When Henry Cavill debuted as the new Superman in Man of Steel in 2013 movie, it

greenlight another Superman movie.

HOW DID WARNER BROS DO A SUPREME DISSERVICE TO HENRY CAVILL?

 * Justice League reshoots: Henry Cavill
   [https://netflixjunkie.com/tag/henry-cavill/] was called in for a few
   reshoots while he was filming Mission Impossible: Fallout. He was sporting a
   mustache and the WB had to famously use VFX to remove his facial hair. Of
   course, the result was comically bad.

 * Headless cameo: Cavill could not appear for a cameo in Shazam! While the real
   reason is not known, it is reported that there were scheduling conflicts and
   the actor was demanding a very high fee. Anyway, the studio then opted to go
   ahead with a double and headless cameo.

 * No Man of Steel 2: It is mind-boggling that the studio did not think of
   releasing another Superman solo movie. The 2013 reboot was both a critical
   and commercial success. Of course, the superhero appeared in other films but
   never in his own. 

 * Warner Bros leaving Cavill behind: There were talks of other Superman
   projects without the Brit involved. Despite the actor expressing his interest
   to return as the Kryptonite man again, the studio has often gone ahead with
   Superman movies and content without him. Take, for example, J.J Abrams and
   Ta-Nehusi Coates’ Superman, Michael B Jordan’s HBO Max series, and Supergirl
   in The Flash. 

 * Introducing Supergirl in The Flash: The studio plans to introduce Superman’s
   cousin, Supergirl in The Flash. We would see the Man of Steel events from her
   point of view and most importantly the narrative involves an already dead
   Kal-El.

Nevertheless, the 39-year-old actor is donning the suit again
