Things got even worse for the long-awaited Justice League movie.
Originally scheduled to be two films shot back-to-back, Snyder had to drop out of the film due to a personal tragedy and was replaced by Joss Whedon. The final product was a movie where you can almost see the Sellotape holding it together.
Unscheduled reshoots on Justice League also meant that producers also infamously had to CGI-out Cavill’s facial hair, as by that point he was filming Mission: Impossible – Fallout, and was contractually obliged not to shave his ‘tache off.
The Hollywood Reporter list several factors for the decision – Warner’s Bros current focus is believed to be on a Supergirl movie, and there are currently no plans for another Superman movie at this time.
"Superman is like James Bond, and after a certain run you have to look at new actors," another studio source told THR.Contract talks between Cavill’s reps and Warner Bros are also believed to have broken down. Henry Cavill won’t be gone from our screens for long though – he recently signed on star in Netflix’s adaption of The Witcher.
