WB says 'no decisions' made on Henry Cavill's Superman future

Henry Cavill first played Superman in the 2013 movie "Man of Steel."

Is Henry Cavill hanging up his Superman cape?
The Hollywood Reporter reported Wednesday that Cavill will not be reprising his superhero role, citing unnamed sources.
Warner Bros. released a statement shortly after the story's publication leaving Cavill's future in question.
    "While no decisions have been made regarding any upcoming Superman films, we've always had great respect for and a great relationship with Henry Cavill, and that remains unchanged." a Warner Bros representative said in a statement to CNN. (CNN, like Warner Bros., are both owned by Warner Media.)
    Cavill's manager, Dany Garcia, gave a slightly more hopeful message via Twitter: "Be peaceful, the cape is still in his closet. @wbpictures has been and continues to be our partners as they evolve the DC Universe."
    CNN has reached out to Cavill's representatives for further comment.

    Cavill debuted as the iconic character in 2013's "Man of Steel."
    The film made more than $660 million worldwide, but it received mixed reviews, as did 2016's "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice."
    Cavill also reprised his role in last year's "Justice League."
    According to The Hollywood Reporter article, Warner Bros. had been hoping Cavill would make a cameo in "Shazam!," which stars Zachary Levi, but those negotiations fell apart due to scheduling conflicts. (Cavill recently signed on to lead a series based on "The Witcher" novels for Netflix.)
    The report also said the studio's priorities are focusing largely on an upcoming "Supergirl" film, sidelining any storyline that would involve Cavill.
    Behind the scenes, there have been other signs of ongoing efforts to revamp DC Comics-based movies.
    In June, Geoff Johns, who had been chief creative officer of DC Entertainment since 2010, left his position to focus on writing and producing Warner Bros and DC films and television shows.
    DC Entertainment President Diane Nelson also stepped down this summer.
    The news of Cavill's possible ouster comes as the future of Ben Affleck as Batman also remains in question.
      Since last summer, rumors that Affleck's days as the caped crusader were numbered have swirled.
      Affleck has remained steadfast that he's committed to the role.

      Chelsea 1-0 Manchester United | Chelsea Beat Man United To Win The FA Cu...

      Chelsea 1 Manchester United 0 RECAP as Eden Hazard wins FA Cup for Blues at Wembley The Belgian was hauled down by Phil Jones and picked himself up to convert the penalty in what could be Antonio Conte's final match in charge Eden Hazard fired  Chelsea  to FA Cup glory against  Manchester United  as Antonio Conte's expected farewell ended with a memorable triumph against old foe Jose Mourinho. The 137th FA Cup final - and first utilising a video assistant referee - was not as cagey as some had feared but was hardly a rip-roaring affair as the Blues looked to atone for last season's shock finale defeat and a tepid Premier League title defence. Mourinho came into the match looking to frustrate his former club and write his name into the record books, but Conte - subject of so much speculation regarding his future - emerged triumphant as Hazard's first-half penalty secured a 1-0 win at Wembley. Many had fancied United to win a record-equalling 1...

      Disney World Is Now Serving Alcohol at Every Sit-Down Restaurant in the Magic Kingdom Walt Disney World  guests have been drinking their way through the  World Showcase pavilions at Epcot  for years, and now they have more opportunities to sip on adult beverages at the Magic Kingdom, too. According to a  Disney press release , three new restaurants inside the resort’s original park have added alcohol to their menus, meaning that those over the age of 21 can now drink at  all  table-service establishments on the premises. This announcement comes six years after the first Magic Kingdom eatery to serve beer and wine, Be Our Guest, opened in 2012. Prior to that, the park had a strict no-alcohol policy since its opening in 1971 as part of Walt Disney’s original vision to create a family-friendly experience. The rule remains in place at the original Disneyland park in Anaheim, though its sister park Disney California Adventure does serve alcohol (as d...
