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!"

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
