Despite announcing his DC comeback in late October as his most iconic Role, ‘Superman’, Henry Cavill once again declared leaving the project once and for all.

The British actor has given up his role as Geralt of Rivia in Netflix’s action fantasy drama series ‘The Witcher’, a week after announcing his return as DC’s ‘Superman’ after a 5 year break.

Last night, the actor announced on Instagram stories that he will, after all, “not be returning as Superman. After being told by the studio to announce my return back in October, prior to their hire, this news isn’t the easiest, but that’s life.”

Cavill said that the changing of the guard is something that happens.

“For those who have been by my side through the years, we can mourn for a bit, but then we must remember, Superman is still around. Everything he stands for still exists, and the examples he sets for us are still there,” said Henry.

He explained that his turn to wear the cape has passed, “It’s been a fun ride with you all, onwards and upwards.”

Although Cavill did not previously elaborate on why he abandoned a role that he played so faithfully for three seasons of ‘The Witcher’, many suggested that it is because he will be taking over his role as DC comics superman once again.

Now that he gave up this role as well, fans are wondering if there’s a chance for him to take over the role of Geralt once again, despite being replaced by Liam Hemsworth in the series’ fourth season.
