THE MAN OF STEEL 2 MOVIE HAS PRACTICALLY BEEN CANCELLED, AS JAMES GUNN REMOVES HENRY CAVIL FROM THE SUPERMAN ROLE

 Recently I heard that there won't be a Man of Steel 2 movie, per the removal of Henry Cavil as Superman, by the new Studio Director / Project Overseer, James Gunn - who is rumored to be working on a reboot of Supes, as an "indirect origin story", per the first meetings with characters like Lex Luthor and Lois Lane. 

And Gunn seems to want to commence a 10-year DC movie universe plan... Truth be told, firing Cavil is already a very bad sign. Most fans liked / respected him, and with all the "Multiverse BS" that can be spinned into the Superman storyline, there was a way to still use him. Honestly, anyone stepping in to direct the DC Movie Universe should take it as "one movie at a time", and not focus on a 10-year plan with multiple movies, like 1 or 2 per year I think.... just too many uncertain factors with that long-term strategy, since 1 or 2 bad / political movies can tank everything and make the fans walk away. That sort of ill favor has been befalling the Disney Plus Series [for the Star Wars and Marvel shows] in recent times...

Anyway, via social media, Henry Cavil said he's moving on to produce and star in a Warhammer 40K series for Amazon. So I wish him the best of luck.
