Henry Cavill lays down Superman's cape as DC shifts focus to Supergirl movie

Michael B Jordan, best known for his roles in 'Black Panther' and 'Creed' may soon wear the iconic blue suit replacing Henry Cavill
PUBLISHED SEP 12, 2018

If you’re a DC fan, you should probably start mourning the departure of Henry Cavill from the DC Cinematic Universe. Cavill, who played the Man of Steel three times for the franchise, walked away from negotiations with Warner Bros dissatisfied, and it looks like he will not be back for the superhero's cameos. Fear not though because a hero as mighty as Cavill – Michael B Jordan – is reportedly one of the top actors WB is considering to rock the iconic red underwear and cape on screen. 

According to Deadline, WB is heading in a completely different direction, with the focus shifting to Supergirl, and of course, the solo flicks of Aquaman, Wonder Woman and The Flash. Somewhere down the line, Jordan may replace Superman, but the Supergirl movie is the absolute priority right now.
