It was recently revealed that Ben Affleck would no longer be playing Bruce Wayne, aka Batman, in the DC Extended Universe film franchise, which includes films such as Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and the team-up film Justice League. Because of that news, many DCEU fans have been left to fear the fate of Henry Cavill as Superman on the big screen as well. Henry Cavill’s future in the role has been very cryptic in recent months but while fans wait for his return as Superman, the actor can next be seen in the Netflix series based on the iconic book franchise of the same name, The Witcher.
The Witcher is currently in the midst of production but no footage from the series has been released just yet. Aside from a photo revealing Henry Cavill as the series’ lead character, the exciting project is being kept under wraps. A fan recently posed for a picture with the Superman actor on Instagram and it gives fans a hint at how much of that Kryptonian muscle the actor will still have underneath his armor in the upcoming Netflix series. Check out the image featuring the Man of Steel star below.
Henry Cavill led the birth of the DCEU in 2013’s Man of Steel. Since then, the actor has had two more big screen appearances as the Last Son of Krypton, with his last appearance in 2017’s Justice League being the most iconic simply due to the controversy surrounding the actor’s mustache. For those unaware of the controversy, Henry Cavill was doing production on Mission: Impossible: Fallout when Justice League went into unanticipated reshoots with Joss Whedon taking over directorial duties from Zack Snyder.
Because of the timing, the actor wasn’t able to shave his Mission: Impossible: Fallout moustache and it resulted in the CGI team for Justice League giving the actor a digitally-enhanced mouth during many of his scenes in the film. Some fans find it horrendous while many others barely even noticed it, but it’s certainly a fascinating topic of conversation that will still be talked about years down the line.
