Part 2/9:
Henry Cavill's portrayal of Superman was highly anticipated, but the collaboration ultimately fell flat with audiences. Despite Cavill's undeniable charisma and popularity, the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) did not meet expectations, culminating in Gunn's decision to reboot the franchise. This reboot involves recasting many key roles, effectively ending the previous iteration of the DCEU, much to the frustration of fans. Cavill's departure marked the end of a chapter that many believed could have been a significant cornerstone for the franchise.
