shadowkat Henry Cavill departs the Witcher in S4 - handing the character over to Liam Helmsworth
I'm not sure how that will work - the two actors look nothing alike. And Cavill is bigger.
Also...
Cavill is apparently returning to the role of Superman. So I'm guessing WB gave up on the Black Superman Movie they were flirting with?
Hmmm...turns out that I'm wrong. They are still pursuing it.
Black Superman Reboot Development
J.J. Abrams and Ta-Nehisi Coates' Black Superman reboot is reportedly still in active development at Warner Bros. Discovery. The DC brand has had a big shake-up in 2022 as Warner Bros. Discovery completed its massive merger earlier this year. On the small screen, The CW lost multiple DC TV shows as the network is getting a new majority stake owner. Over on the cinematic side for DC, Warner Bros. Discovery canceled the Batgirl movie despite the film having already finished principal photography in late March.
It's not clear, but the two people helming it do have some clout, and I don't see WB backing off a project they helm quickly. Also DC likes to do AU verses and has for some time, plus comics lend themselves to it.
