Ever since the announcement of Henry Cavill’s departure from D.C. came out, it has become a hot topic among fans. Although superheroes have been around for a long time, they have been brought to life on big screens with some great actors. For the modern generation, it was Henry Cavill who became the face of Superman. So, when the British actor left the franchise, and the new DC bosses announced major changes affecting the Snyderverse, fans wanted to bring back Cavill and director Zack Snyder.

But as DC changes things to compete, not everyone agrees with them. New hashtags are popping up to protest the changes. Now people react ambiguously months after the news appears. A Twitter user wrote that no one can surpass Cavill in the role of Superman. It was accompanied by the hashtag #SellSnyderVerseToSnyder. To this was added the call to dismiss James Gunn and Peter Safran.
The fan was not alone in this thought, there were different thoughts about the whole scenario.
Have DC fans finally stopped mourning Henry Cavill and Zack Snyder?
When James Gunn and Peter Safran took over the District of Columbia, things changed dramatically. Cavill was dropped from Man of Steel 2 after meeting with new DC executives. At first, it certainly came as a shock to fans, as many wanted both the British actor and Snyder to participate in the project. But the company’s decision was probably driven by a desire for big changes and the additional failure of Black Adam. But hashtags on the network are calling for the sale of the Snyderverse to Netflix and are fighting for the return of Henry Cavill.
I wonder what James Gunn and WB thinks about Cavill, Snyder, Batfleck trending on Twitter for weeks? It doesn't seem like they care about what the fans want. No one is really interested in the new movie lineup.

There are those who believe that Henry Cavill cannot be replaced. But there are also those who believe that adaptation and moving forward is good. Some people think that selling the Snyderverse to Netflix is also not a good idea. Another fan recalled how the former protagonist of The Witcher was criticized for being British when he first got the role of Superman. While one commentator also believes that Superman was and will be more than any actor.
It is known that Henry Cavill and Snyder listened to the fans and adhered to the original source. On the other hand, the new DC bosses have their own new plans for what to do with Superman.
