 Henry Cavill was fired from Superman, just after he quit The Witcher to focus on the superhero role. The actor, 39, took to Instagram on Wednesday to reveal the news to his 22.9 million followers that he will not be back as the Man of Steel on the big screen.
At the end of October, he made a similar announcement, to reveal he was stepping down after three years of playing the monster-hunting Geralt of Rivia character, with Liam Hemsworth stepping in to replace him.

He wrote: 'My journey as Geralt of Rivia has been filled with both monsters and adventures, and alas, I will be laying down my medallion and my swords for Season 4.
'In my stead, the fantastic Mr. Liam Hemsworth will be taking up the mantle of the White Wolf. As with the greatest of literary characters, I pass the torch with reverence for the time spent embodying Geralt and enthusiasm to see Liam's take on this most fascinating and nuanced of men. He also said that he will not be back as the Man of Steel on the big screen.
The announcement has angered fans, who argued that Henry - who was known to be a big Witcher fan - would not have quit his role as Geralt if not for Superman.

One tweeted: 'Henry Cavill loved The Witcher but he clearly wanted the studio to respect the book material and it must have disappointed him to see them mock it. He ended up eventually leaving it behind for Superman only for DC to drop him again within 2 months. This man deserved better.'
Another agreed, writing: 'If I were Henry Cavill right now, I'd be so angry, so embarrassed and probably firing my manager and agency right now. This really could damage the dude's career, he just dropped Witcher too. Would he have done that if he knew Superman wasn't coming?'

And the sixth said: 'Wait. Did Henry Cavill leave The Witcher to play Superman again ... and DC canceled his Superman film? Oh *wow* Is there gonna be a lawsuit?'

While the internet as a whole was blaming Netflix and the cast of the show, it appears that Henry Cavill's exit may not have been as planned. There is a strong possibility that Netflix fired Henry Cavill because he was so difficult to work with? According to a recent update from a dependable source, Cavill became increasingly hostile and misogynistic on set and continued to show disrespect for the female crew. Cavill finished rewritten dialogue and reshoot scenes without the showrunner's consent. Here is a link to the full Reddit report.

According to several news reports, Henry Cavill left the role because WB didn't pay him enough. If Warner Bros is ready to compromise, I don't see any reason for why he wouldn't take up the role again. And according to Jason Mamoa, Henry Cavill loves to play The Man Of Steel.
There are also rumors that negotiations had reached an impasse due to scheduling conflicts with Cavill’s new Witcher television series and/or Cavill wanted more money. There is a possibility that the two sides might resume negotiations again.
