Is Michael B Jordan replacing Henry Cavill in the new 'Superman' movie?
Superman
If true, this could be historic!
African-American actor Michael B Jordan is reportedly being considered to replace Henry Cavill as Superman for the next film in the franchise. Jordan has appeared in films like 'Black Panther' and 'Fantastic Four' earlier.
According to a report by The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday, Cavill, 35, who first appeared as the superhero in 2013's 'Man of Steel', and later reprised his role in 'Superman V Batman' and last year's 'Justice League''', might be parting ways with Warner Bros.
As soon as the news of Cavill's exit started doing rounds, names of other probable candidates for the role also started coming up. Among them, Michael B Jordan's name featured prominently in a report by an entertainment site.
According to a Deadline report, Warner Bros are thinking of doing something completely different for their new Superman film. “The word has been out that Warner Bros. has been mulling a completely different direction with its Superman canon for some time, even considering casting Michael B. Jordan in the role down the road.”
Fans of the legendary franchise though have pointed out that it is too early to believe in such reports. Insiders have stated that Warner Bros is not planning a Superman film in the near future, so having a new actor play the role does not arise.
However, Cavill in his own way reacted to the news of him walking out by posting a video on Instagram. Many felt it was a cryptic message to deny his exit from the franchise.Cavill captioned the video as "Today was exciting #Superman".
In the video, the actor, wearing a Krypton Lifting Team T-shirt, is seen slowly showcasing a Superman figurine with "The Blue Danube" by Johann Strauss II playing in the background.

Warner Bros also released a statement and said they share a "great relationship" with Cavill.
