Henry Cavill will not return as Superman

Actor Henry Cavill has been dropped as Superman by the new bosses of DC Studios, less than two months after he announced his return to the role.

Cavill says he just had a meeting with James Gunn and Peter Safran and it's sad news, everyone.

He says he will, after all, not be returning as Superman.

Cavill says after being told by the studio to announce his return back in October, prior to their hire, this news isn't the easiest, but that's life.

He said there were no hard feelings.

Following the announcement, some fans have been speculating that the actor is now available to take on the role of James Bond - should the casting director come calling.
