Setting the stage for an eventual showdown between two of DC\u2019s powerhouse characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, DC Studios went through an overhaul. Hiring director James Gunn, of Guardians of the Galaxy and The Suicide Squad, alongside producer, Peter Safran, to head up a new plan for the rocky studios. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Netflix announced that Cavill will not be returning to the role of Geralt in season 4 of The Witcher, and set to be replaced by Liam Hemsworth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fans assumed that this is for his return as Superman, something that was semi-confirmed when Cavill stated he is coming back to the role soon.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cut to this week, and Cavill now makes this statement on Instagram:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"980\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/thevoiceoflondon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2022\/12\/Cavill-statement-980x1024.png\" alt=\"Henry Cavills statement as released via his Instagram account.\" class=\"wp-image-52134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/thevoiceoflondon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2022\/12\/Cavill-statement-980x1024.png 980w, https:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/thevoiceoflondon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2022\/12\/Cavill-statement-287x300.png 287w, https:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/thevoiceoflondon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2022\/12\/Cavill-statement-768x803.png 768w, https:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/thevoiceoflondon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2022\/12\/Cavill-statement-1470x1536.png 1470w, https:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/thevoiceoflondon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2022\/12\/Cavill-statement.png 1798w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, as #FireJamesGunn trends with the ever present DC fans who appear to live on Twitter, Gunn gives this statement:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">But we just had a great meeting with Henry and we\u2019re big fans and we talked about a number of exciting possibilities to work together in the future.<\/p>&mdash; James Gunn (@JamesGunn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JamesGunn\/status\/1603205522139717632?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 15, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While Gunn and Safran announce that new Superman movies will be on the way, it will be without Cavill. Focusing on a younger Superman, without being another retelling of the origin story.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Almost a very sad moment for Cavill, that was until an announcement came that Amazon Prime is planning on bringing the Warhammer franchise into a \u201cWarhammer Cinematic Universe\u201d, with Cavill set to executive produce the project, after being an avid fan of the game 30 years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"726\" height=\"516\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/thevoiceoflondon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2022\/12\/Cavill-Warhammer.png\" alt=\"Henry Cavills Warhammer announcement as taken from his Instagram account.\" class=\"wp-image-52135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/thevoiceoflondon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2022\/12\/Cavill-Warhammer.png 726w, https:\/\/blog.westminster.ac.uk\/thevoiceoflondon\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/64\/2022\/12\/Cavill-Warhammer-300x213.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 726px) 100vw, 726px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Words: Kiefer Jones | Subbing: Anna Kamocsai<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Henry Cavil has had a strange old time recently.
