UPDATED WITH WARNER BROS. STATEMENT After 7:19AM post This has been in the wind for some time, but Henry Cavill will not be reprising his role as Superman in Warner Bros.’ DC films as others from Justice League such as Gal Gadot and Jason Momoa move forward on their respective superhero features Wonder Woman 1984 and Aquaman.

The word has been out that Warner Bros. has been mulling a completely different direction with its Superman canon for some time, even considering casting Michael B. Jordan in the role down the road. But at the present moment a Supergirl movie is the studio’s priority as Deadline exclusively broke back in August. Oren Uziel is working on the Supergirl script. According to DC mythology, the character was a teen when she escaped the doomed planet Krypton along with the infant who grew up as Clark Kent. And at this time, there are no other Superman films in development at DC that would include Cavill. The three DC pics he has starred which were directed by Zack Snyder —Man of Steel, Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Justice League– have grossed close to $2.2 billion at the global box office.





“We have a great relationship and great respect for Henry Cavill that continues to remain unchanged. Additionally we have made no current decisions regarding any upcoming Superman films” said a Warner Bros. spokesperson today. The Jersey, Channel Islands native also starred in Warner’s The Man From U.N.C.L.E. outside the Superman pics.

Cavill we have confirmed could not make a cameo in New Line’s Shazam! and that was due to scheduling conflicts on Mission: Impossible – Fallout. Similar to Cavill, there’s been heavy buzz that Ben Affleck will not be moving forward as Batman in Matt Reeves’ reboot.

Warner Bros.’ DC has been focusing on its makeover in the wake of Justice League‘s underperformance at the box office. The feature was expected to be the pinnacle in the DC cinematic universe but fell way short of a $1 billion at the global B.O. with $657.9M; well under Wonder Woman ($821.8M) which broke records for a female-driven live-action property and Batman v. Superman ($873.6M). In the wake of Justice League, Warners promoted New Line’s horror production guru Walter Hamada to President of DC Films, as Warner Bros co-president of production Jon Berg, who was overseeing DC pics, segued out of his role to become Roy Lee’s producing partner on the lot.

Upcoming for Warner Bros./DC is Aquaman on Dec. 21, Shazam! on April 5, 2019; Todd Phillips’ The Joker on Oct. 4, and Wonder Woman 1984 on Nov. 1, 2019.

How DC's Supergirl Movie Can Stand Apart From The CW's TV Show

BY MATT WOOD

RANDOM ARTICLE BLEND



The DCEU was thrown for a real loop last week when it was reported that Henry Cavill was out as Superman and that Warner Bros. was looking at ways to replace the actor. If the news is real, it's just one more challenge for the typically down-on-its-luck superhero universe. Warner Bros. usually has no less than 100 movies based on DC Comics characters in development at any given point (we're not great with math, but you get it), and one of those projects is Supergirl, which is supposedly seen as a potential substitute for Superman. There's already a successful version of Supergirl that exists as a TV show over on The CW, so the movie version would have to be different in a few ways.

The Supergirl project (which is not being directed by Reed Morano) is already off to a solid start. The movie is supposedly a period piece set in the 1970s, distancing itself from any kind of continuity with the present day DCEU. It's also being reported that the main villain of the movie will be Brainiac, which makes sense given the characters ties to Krypton's destruction. While nothing about the Supergirl movie is confirmed, setting it in the past is a great way to separate it from the TV series. That show may take place in another dimension from the rest of the Arrowverse, but it's still firmly in the present. By making it take place in the seventies, it's already got a different feel to it.

One of the biggest ways that the movie can split from the show is by having Supergirl stand apart from Superman. The TV show's Kara Danvers is her own person who has stepped out of the shadow of her famous cousin, but Superman is still a heavy presence on the show, at least in spirit. For example, Supergirl was given her own Lex Luthor in the form of Maxwell Lord. Very much a Luthor wannabe, the series ditched him for an actual Luthor, Lex's sister Lena. The twist is that Lena is a very close ally of Supergirl, flipping the typical formula, but it still felt the need to have a Luthor because "Super" was in the title.


The villains don't stop at the Luthor's either. Superman's rogue's gallery is handed to Kara, who fights baddies like Parasite, Metallo, Cyborg Superman, Livewire, Toyman, and Mr. Myxlplyx. In the comics, Supergirl really doesn't have many good villains, so I can hardly blame the show for borrowing the Man of Steel's, but the DC universe is a big place, and the movie can find plenty of non-Superman villains for Supergirl to fight. As stated before, the movie might include Brainiac, one of Superman's greatest enemies, but that makes sense because he has a history with Kara. Still, Brainiac is a big enough bad that the studio might want to save him for later.


The Superman-ness doesn't stop with just the villains. Supergirl's personal life is eerily similar to Clark Kent's. Part of this is by design, the age-old, 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it.' Kara Danvers is a mild-mannered woman in glasses who no one expects could ever be the great Supergirl. On the show, she even works at a media company as a journalist, the same profession as Clark Kent. If the movie dives into her personal life, then it should avoid giving her the same job as Superman. The characters already have enough in common as it is.

Being different enough from the show is essential, but that's not to say that the show doesn't have merit. It's actually quite solid and has a great central character. Supergirl is a source of hope and optimism when things look bleak and is a positive influence on those around her. The show also isn't afraid to dive into social issues, such as using aliens as not-so-subtle metaphors for immigrants. Plus, it can get very comic book-y like having an ex-boyfriend getting sent to the future, and then coming back with a wife. These are all aspects that would be great for a movie to emulate, but it can't just copy and paste them.


There's a possibility that the Supergirl movie doesn't even happen but with Wonder Woman as the DCEU's most successful movie and a potential future without Superman, Supergirl is a logical and excellent choice to add to the shared universe. There's nothing wrong with adding another female hero to the mix and Supergirl on the CW has laid out a lot of groundwork already for getting audiences to like the character. We can only hope that a movie takes what everyone loves about the show, but makes it fresh enough that it offers a new experience in the movie theater. Otherwise, what's the point?

Just like Wonder Woman 2 being set in the 80s..

Had the DCEU not been scrapped we'd be seeing these two in films set in the present day

Henry Cavill: 'I've not given up' playing Superman

For all the problems with Justice League — and there were many — most agree that Henry Cavill reprising his role as Superman was not one of them.
Now the actor is reiterating that he remains committed to playing the part, despite not being announced in any future Warner Bros. titles since the studio shook up its DC empire in the wake of the 2017 film’s critical and box office performance.
“The cape is in the closet,” Cavill tells Men’s Health in its December cover story. “It’s still mine. I’m not going to sit quietly in the dark as all the stuff is going on. I’ve not given up the role. There’s a lot I have to give for Superman yet. A lot of storytelling to do. A lot of real, true depths to the honest of the character I wasn’t to get into. I want to reflect the comic books. That’s important to me. There’s a lot of justice to be done for Superman. The status is: You’ll see.”

The chiseled star, who also toplines Netflix’s upcoming fantasy series The Witcher, also recounted his struggles with staying in shape over the years — including recounting a demeaning audition to play James Bond in Casino Royale.
“I probably could have prepared better. I remember the director, Martin Campbell, saying, ‘Looking a little chubby there, Henry.’ I didn’t know how to train or diet. And I’m glad Martin said something, because I respond well to truth. It helps me get better.” And added, “It’s terrifying going into auditions. You put your hand in a dark hole and just hope that something comes out. It’s not like being fast or strong, or being good at football. Sometimes the acting is just bad.”
The full interview will be in the December issue of Men’s Health. The first season of Witcher premieres Dec. 21 on Netflix.

Maybe they should get rolling on a proper MOS sequel once they drop The Batman w/ Pattinson

 

[geechiedan]

the problem isn't who is in the suit...its SUPERMAN HIMSELF AS A CHARACTER..he's too vanilla.. there is no inner conflict for him

he's over powered and theres no real darkside.. he's too..GOOD. Once you get passed the first movie introdcing him where he's all conflicted trying to figure who he is...then where do you go?

this has ALWAYS been the problem with superman..its why the sequels got worse and worse under reeves...

you can put MBJ in the suit...hell you can put Idris Elba in the cape...
but that wouldn't change the underlying problem...SUPERMAN HAS NO CONFLICT...

I would suspect the same thing is going to happen to Supergirl as well...

THE MYTHOS OF SUPERMAN NEEDS TO CHANGE NOT THE ACTOR OR SKIN COLOR OF THE CHARACTER

How's it gonna change?
That's how he is in the comic books

 

[geechiedan]

How's it gonna change?
That's how he is in the comic books

The change would have to start in the comic book....just like the change in batman and how that character was handled in Frank Millers Dark Knight story back in the late 80s..hell superhero psychology/mythology was turned on its ear across the whole genre after that story. That and a few stories around that time are responsible for all the dark shit we're seeing in superhero movies and tv shows for the last 30 years.

The background of The Joker was changed in the Killing Joke...Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix's version of the Joker is largely informed by that story more than any other aspect of how the Joker has been portrayed in the comics or live-action before that.

As far as Supergirl is concerned...the tv show is cool but the reality is its an ensemble cast with as least three other characters carrying the dramatic load as much as supergirl herself.... there are her sister and martian manhunter who have whole arcs that take up major space in the tv show...So Supergirl herself isn't doing all the work of carrying the show.

How's that gonna work in a 2-hour movie? Sure they can set it in another time frame in the 70s but is there enough Supergirl as a character to carry a movie by herself?? Maybe one time BUT she's so similar to superman in personality and function that you're going to run into the same issues...a Do-Gooder who fights for truth and justice and.....not much else.

A hero is only as good their villains are bad or the conflict they have to deal with...that's why Joker is the best villain for Batman and things get lamer and lamer once you get past his big four villains in Joker, Catwoman, Penguin, and Riddler.

Kal-el and Kara have who....Lex Luthor, brainiac Darkseid, and General Zod? How many have they used in the movies including Reeves tenure?? 2 at most??

The Superman/Supergirl universe needs a MAJOR SHAKEUP in the comics and the movies if they wanna continue at least the movie franchises.

 

[BATMAN]

I agree. Zod has been done before and Lex is in every movie. They haven't done a Brainiac movie though that may be an avenue they can explore. I think the comics provide good material but maybe have superman in the same capacity like the current tv shows: not as powerful or not all the way and facing some dilemma that his fists or power can't save him from. The All-Star Superman story line (like the Sherlock Holmes with RDJ), 2 movie where you have him already as an adult fighting Metallo, Brainiac or cyborg superman and the fight (or even another hero or anti-hero that matches him in every way (not Nuclearman)) and he goes to the sun to recharge and comes back fully powered but the radiation is killing him (or however the story goes. The injustice storyline: Same principles but we slowly see him get corrupted or tricked into becoming the iron-willed version of himself. Now that you mention it, the thing that made Smallville so good was Clark wasn't fully powered and he had the supporting cast going through things as well. The Leviathan storyline is pretty good so far, they don't know who is who and Clark and Lois even had to go undercover at one point. IDK fam... just holding out hope they can get it right.

The change would have to start in the comic book....just like the change in batman and how that character was handled in Frank Millers Dark Knight story back in the late 80s..hell superhero psychology/mythology was turned on its ear across the whole genre after that story.

how the fuck you get Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Shazam and Joker films to work but cant get your shit together with Superman, Batman and the justice league?

 

[Adam Knows]

how the fuck you get Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Shazam and Joker films to work but cant get your shit together with Superman, Batman and the justice league?

because they've been done simply too many times. at this point there shouldn't be anymore superman or batman movies unless it's a team thing.

there's so many more DC characters that would make for a better story.

 

[BATMAN]

yeah!! So brave and the bold types where they team up!

THE MYTHOS OF SUPERMAN NEEDS TO CHANGE NOT THE ACTOR OR SKIN COLOR OF THE CHARACTER

Sorry bro.
But you've fallen into the same mental trap about Superman that far too many folks do.

#1. Superman has a FAR DARKER background story than most superheroes do. Including Batman.
- Yes. Bruce Wayne lost his parents. But Kal-El lost not only both his biological parents, but his ENTIRE fucking planet, people & culture as well!!!!

#2. Superman is NOT overpowered.
- In fact, one of his greatest regrets is that in spite of having all his powers he can't be everywhere at once nor can he solve all mankind's problems. He constantly beats himself up because he realizes that he CAN'T save everyone. Remember, this is a man who, (if he allows himself) could potentially hear and see every crime, disaster or death on Earth and "attempt" to prevent them, but is wise enough to know that he can't.
- Finally, he routinely has to find different ways to defeat enemies far more intelligent than himself, more powerful than himself or as equally powered as he is but who are ruthless killers and completely willing to commit global or universal levels of murder or genocide.

#3. Superman DOES have a darkside. (Play the wonderful Injustice games & read the comic series).
- And like Batman (even when he's strongly tempted), he refuses to step over the line when battling endless threats from super powered (and non powered) villains by killing them. (Even if by refusing doing so, may cost him his own life....)

#4. Superman is always viewed as being Earth's #1 line of defense.
- However, in spite of being thought of as Earth's primary defender, Superman frequently needs help in completing this never ending task.

Examples:
Superboy Prime vs everyone...

... Or against Starro or Amazo...

...Or against The Anti-Monitor.

#5."Faster than a speeding bullet".
- He's only ranked #4 against the fastest beings on earth. Which means there are at least 3 other beings in The DC Universe faster than he is that are capable of moving fast enough to actually KILL him.

Reverse Flash being ONE of them...

#6. Magic.
- He's almost completely powerless against magic. Therefore, technically under the right circumstances, these folks will own him in a fight.

#7. He plays an extremely important role in determining who lives and who dies...
- Yeah. Like performing THIS "minor" feat gets any easier each time he does it.



And remember.
He has to save everyone on the plane(s) and the hundreds (thousands?) of people on the ground who are ALSO in danger.


#8. No conflict.
- Bullshit. Even though he's called "The Big Blue Boyscout", he has been known to cheat, bend or even break the rules when the deck is stacked against him to get what HE wants. (Often under the guise of doing the "right" thing or for "justice").
Example:


Think about it. There are literally MILLIONS of people around the world who were suffering pain, death or loss beyond Metropolis or California on the day he turned back time who must now RE-LIVE that pain because of what he did that day...

So, no.
He can't beat everyone nor do everything by himself.
Like you alluded to earlier, it's all about the writer and how they present the threat he's facing.

May I recommend that you read these splendid Superman based books & stories to gage what I'm saying....

 

[gdatruth]

because they've been done simply too many times. at this point there shouldn't be anymore superman or batman movies unless it's a team thing.

your point applies to Batman
but there has been one good big screen adoption of superman in 40 years. that shouldn't be the case for the character that put super in superhero in age where superhero films run the industry

and even team up and justice league film they fucked up.

you can figure out deadpool, ww, aquaman, ant-man, guardians of the galaxy, etc but superman is too tough a nut crack?

 

[playahaitian]

how the fuck you get Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Shazam and Joker films to work but cant get your shit together with Superman, Batman and the justice league?

Preach

 

[Mo-Better]

There's no excuse for the Superman series to be in the state its in presently, except that it wasn't handled right from the start. With all the super enemies that appeared in both the DC comics and the animated series Superman should still be running strong.

 

[knightmelodic]

I wanna know who's gonna play Supergirl. If she ain't hot, the movie will sink like a stone. Oh, it'll probably make 800 mil or so but that's not really a blockbuster these days.
Let's face it, sex sells. Imagine if Wonder Woman was played by Scarlett Johanson instead of that beanpole (and untalented) gal gadot? They would have topped 1.5 easily.
That's the way of the world. Catsuit, uh, I mean Black Widow will do well, especially if the previews show SJ in some form of lingerie or somesuch.
Even Wasp is hot. And Agent Hill is scorching. DC better learn to get some heat up in it or they will continue to be...DC.

Harley Quinn? Puh-leez. Robbie may be nice on the beach but the character is not a missile.

 

["THE MAN"]

The issue is they don't explore Superman properly. They start over every damn time and we end up with the same story and villains. This Supergirl shit will bomb just because they are throwing away Cavill. Fans won't like it at all.

 

[TimRock]

I wanna know who's gonna play Supergirl.

I pray it won't be Jennifer Lawrence.

 

[knightmelodic]

I pray it won't be Jennifer Lawrence.

ugh. I heard that. I suppose she's got a decent body for a white girl but she's just not sexy. To me anyway. And she's short. And her off-camera antics have taken on a personality of their own if you know what I mean. In this age of SM people are fans for what you do offscreen as much as on these days. Probably more.

Charlize Theron twenty years younger would kill it.

Superman is cosmic hero stuck on Earth...
They need to Thor Ragnarok his ass...

Superman is a alien... have him fight aliens on other planets not Lex Luther in Smallville....


Marvel figured out after Thor 2... They need to put him in space fighting villains on his level... They even left him out of Civil War (movie and comic) to make it a fair fight...

The same with Cap Marvel they leave her in space.. only call when they need the big guns...

I don't think she can fill out the big screen....theres a difference in movie actors and tv actors..the presence is different

Kaley Cuoco next to Jennifer Lawrence is kinda like

dogs next to wolves in terms of screen presence....

There are plenty of actors who started on TV and translated to movies just fine. These days the technology is so similar I don't think it's as big a difference as it used to be. Also, actors don't look down on TV the way they used to.
Back in the day it was Theartre>>>Movies>>>TV. Nowadays its gimme the money.
And I think Cuoco presents a warmer, more friendly comedic presence if that's where they want to go. Lawrence, although she's done comedic roles isn't exactly viewed as a friendly person. These days with SM offscreen counts a whole lot and Lawrence is not exactly Miss Popular.
Plus KC looks like Supergirl. JL looks haughty.
Anyway, I really don't gaf cause I'd be seeing at the bgol cinema anyway.

Warner Bros. Is Reportedly Eyeing a 26-Year-Old to Replace Henry Cavill as Superman​

According to reporting last week, Warner Bros. has been compiling a list of potential actors to succeed Henry Cavill as Superman. Atop the list: American actor and Cavill-look-alike, David Corenswet, 26.

Corenswet, who stars in Netflix’s The Politician, told Entertainment Weekly that it was his “pie-in-the-sky ambition” to play Superman. Though he praised Cavill's iteration, Corenswet said he wanted to see “an upbeat, throwback” version of the hero.

By all other accounts, Henry Cavill is still very much the dark, moody man of steel. The 36-year-old British actor last appeared as Superman in 2017’s Justice League, and though no upcoming Clark Kent project has been announced, Cavill is confident that the role is still his. In our December covers story, Cavill told us he’s still not done with the role.

“I’ve not given up the role,” he said. “There’s a lot I have to give for Superman yet.”



But whether or not Cavill wants to keep the cape may not matter. The actor, currently tied to Netflix’s The Witcher—a project that will keep him at least another year (it was recently renewed for a second season, the series following a multi-book franchise)—will likely be engaged on separate projects for the near future. Not that this engagement should matter, as former Superman Christopher Reeves played the character into his 40s. But studios grow impatient, and, though it would be a risky casting decision in replacing fan-favorite Cavill, Warner Bros. is reportedly shopping around.

The studio has already recast Batman with Robert Pattinson, and J.J. Abrams was rumored two months earlier to be searching for another younger actor to play Superman.

Corenswet, however, doesn’t seem any less busy than Cavill. He’s likely completing the second season of The Politician, and he's slated to appear in Ryan Murphy’s upcoming series, Hollywood. Corenswet will also need months to train if he wants to Cavill-ify the rest of his body—which, we imagine, would be his most difficult test; it's not a tiny cape to fill.

If the rumors are true, David Corenswet is first in line to become the new man of steel.
