James Gunn insists Henry Cavill was 'not fired' as Superman

Back in October, the British actor declared that he would be returning as the Man of Steel following his cameo in Black Adam. However, after James Gunn and Peter Safran became heads of DC Studios in November, they told Cavill they were heading in a different direction with the character. During a press conference this week, Gunn insisted the headlines suggesting Cavill had been fired were incorrect because he never had a deal in place for another movie. "We didn't fire Henry. Henry was never cast."
