Part 7/10:
Lauren Hissrich, the showrunner, attempted to downplay Cavill's exit by attributing it to "creative differences." In interviews, she claimed Cavill wanted to pursue other roles, implying his departure was a mutual decision driven by personal aspirations. She hinted that Cavill had plans for other projects, even suggesting he left to explore opportunities like Superman.
However, fans and insider revelations tell a different story. It was no secret that Cavill was unhappy with the direction of the series and felt that the show was deviating significantly from the source material. Multiple reports indicate that Cavill’s departure was due to disagreements with the creative team over story choices, character development, and the show's fidelity to the books.
