With Henry Cavill no longer returning as Superman, notable artist BossLogic offers a touching tribute to the English actor that's reminiscent of another superhero epic.BossLogic revealed artwork he created honoring Cavill's departure with the actor walking away with his dog after throwing his Superman cape and gear in a trash can. His digital art replicates the famous visual from The Amazing Spider-Man #50 where Peter Parker dumps his Spider-Man costume and walks away as he contemplates his frustration with life. The tribute picture was accompanied by a caption wishing Cavill all the best on his next ventures.
BossLogic is known for crafting aesthetic spins on various famous movies and TV shows. His superhero-themed illustrations have garnered him a huge online following with over 2.2 million Instagram followers. He has done Cavill-inspired art several times, including a Man of Steel 2 poster altering his Superman into Bizarro, the Man of Steel's perfectly opposite duplicate and noted villain.
Henry Cavill Is Superman No More
What's next for Cavill is a huge talking point after the Justice League actor confirmed on Dec. 14 he won't be returning as Superman despite his return appearance in Black Adam. In a detailed Instagram post, Cavill expressed sadness over his abrupt Superman departure while consoling fans and wishing new DC Studios bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran the best as they rebuild the DC Universe. Gunn, who became DC Studios' co-chairman and co-CEO this past October, confirmed a new Superman movie featuring a younger version of the hero. He announced the film would not feature Cavill, though he didn't confirm a cast or director for the project.
Despite canceling Cavill's long-awaited Superman comeback, Gunn revealed he and the Enola Holmes franchise star have discussed the potential of working together in the future, leaving the door open for a potential DCU return. The news has been met with widespread outrage among fans of Cavill and Superman while some industry players openly expressed disappointment with how the situation was handled. There have been reports of Warner Bros. executives' displeasure with Black Adam lead actor Dwayne Johnson, who hyped Cavill's cameo in the movie and fought hard to bring him back into the DCU. Furthermore, the Man of Steel sequel and Wonder Woman 3 have apparently been scrapped by DC as Gunn and Safran rework the framework of the studio following their takeover.
The Superman cancellation follows Cavill's decision to leave The Witcher after Season 3, reportedly due to creative differences. Cavill confirmed Liam Hemsworth would replace him as Geralt of Rivia, the series' titular monster slayer. Meanwhile, Cavill starred as Sherlock Holmes in the mystery film, Enola Holmes 2, alongside its lead actor Millie Bobby Brown.
Fans can catch Cavill in The Witcher Season 3 upon its release in the summer of 2023 while Enola Holmes 2, which premiered this past October, is available for streaming on Netflix.
