Recasting and rebooting Superman was inevitable

After the disaster of 2017 Justice League.

In no reality was Cavill coming back, his cameo in Black Adam was due to The Rock's ego, the embarrassment that Cavill faced could've been avoided if the studio didn't allow The Rock to dictate who he should be facing off on screen.

Realistically can an actor play the same character over and over again? playing a character like Superman is an extensive part of your life, it's ten years out of a thirty year work life, so you just spent 10% of your work life on three productions.

Yeah that’s actually very true.

Think anyone with common sense and can look at things objectively can see it was inevitable.

Cavil was superman 9 years (2013-2022) did 4 movies (2 considered good. 2 considered bad) , same as Christopher Reeve.

Couldn't really expect to do more than that

However some people like Aaron Fischer, Mr H Reviews and Ryan Kinel are talking like a Superman film without Cavill is an automatic fail, anyone who might be cast as Superman is insulting Cavill or a new suit is again insulting Cavill, the mind has been warped with these people and their perception of reality, it feels like Snyderverse has affected people's brains and their idea of Superman, I really don't get it.

Remember when Michael Keaton was cast as Batman, there was an awful lot of hate fans who thought it was gonna a comedy and gonna be the worst, then what happen everybody started praising Keaton once they saw him in costume, so is it possible that Superman Legacy might be good? is it possible David Corenswet might be good? cause these people can't move past the fact that Cavill is no longer Superman and the new film isn't Man Of Steel 2 they can't comprehend this, they're too stubborn.

If the film fails it won't be because they're not carrying on from a version that was incredibly divisive.

Snyder cultists are trying to boycott everything Superman until Henry Cavill is back because what else are they gonna do? what about going outside for fresh air as long as you can move past this one actor who is central to your life.
