Cavill confirmed he's hanging up his cape after playing Superman in multiple DC films over nine years.

It seems we won't be seeing any more of Henry Cavill in his iconic red Superman cape.

After playing the superhero for the last nine years, Cavill is saying goodbye to Clark Kent.


Cavill shared the news on Instagram.

He said:

"I have just had a meeting with James Gunn and Peter Safran and it's sad news, everyone."
"I 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."
"The changing of the guard is something that happens. I respect that."
"James and Peter have a universe to build."
"I wish them and all involved with the new universe the best of luck, and the happiest of fortunes."

James Gunn and Peter Safran were recently named the new heads of DC Studios and have already begun restructuring for their vision of DC's future.

Cavill continued:

"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!"
"My turn to wear the cape has passed, but what Superman stands for never will."
"It's been a fun ride with you all, onwards and upwards."

Fans of Cavill shared their disappointment in the news and wished him well in his future endeavors.

Gunn shared in a recent tweet some of his and Safran's new projects include a story focused on Superman's early life.

He also said although Superman will no longer be played by Cavill, they "talked about a number of exciting possibilities to work together in the future."

We hope this is true.

To "Truth, Justice, and a Better Tomorrow!"

Trump Sparks Concern After Repeatedly Confusing Alaska With Russia Ahead Of Putin Meeting

President Donald Trump turned heads on Monday after he repeatedly claimed he's going to "Russia" on Friday—very openly confusing the country with the state of Alaska, the actual location where he plans to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for a highly anticipated summit.

Trump made the mix-up during a press conference about crime in Washington, D.C., where he has already moved to federalize the police and deploy the National Guard, citing inflated crime statistics that compared D.C. to Baghdad and Brasilia.

JB Pritzker Explains Exactly Why Trump Is Pushing His GOP Allies To Redistrict—And He's Spot On

Speaking on NBC's Meet the Press, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker perfectly explained why President Donald Trump is pushing for gerrymandered redistricting in Republican-led states amid pushback from Democrats in Texas.

Redistricting has been all over the news cycle in the days since Texas Democrats fled the state to avoid voting on a new heavily-gerrymandered redistricting map and to deny their GOP colleagues a quorum, the minimum number of lawmakers required to conduct legislative business.

MSNBC Fact-Checks Trump In Real Time As He Blatantly Lies About Crime Rates In DC

President Donald Trump is facing criticism after he was fact-checked by MSNBC in real time as he lied about crime statistics while announcing his decision to federalize police in Washington, D.C., and deploy the National Guard in an effort to fight crime.

Trump's announcement is a significant escalation of his previous attacks on the nation's capital, which he has repeatedly referred to as "crime-infested." He claimed in his remarks to the press that D.C. is “one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the world,” a claim at odds with Justice Department data showing that the city’s crime rate hit a 30-year low last year.
