Cavill exited negotiations to reprise his role as Superman last year after the studio failed to reach an agreement with the actor that would have secured him for a cameo in Shazam!. His exit was reportedly due to scheduling conflicts. Shortly after the news broke, it was revealed that Cavill had landed the lead role in Netflix’s video game adaptation of The Witcher.

While Cavill may not be appearing on the big screen as the Last Son of Krypton again any time soon, Warner Bros. is moving forward without him. Not only is Oren Uziel (22 Jump Street) is developing the script for a standalone Supergirl film — which will feature an origin story for Superman’s cousin Kara Zor El —  the studio was also reported to be considering Michael B. Jordan to take on the role after Cavill.

The DCEU is continuing with Aquaman, which is in theaters now, and will be followed by Shazam! on April 5, 2019, Birds of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) on February 7, 2020, and Wonder Woman 1984 on June 5, 2020. A standalone Joker film set outside of the DC Films universe starring Joaquin Phoenix as the Clown Prince of Crime is also set to hit theaters October 4, 2019.

Directed by James Wan, Aquaman stars Jason Momoa as Arthur Curry, Amber Heard as Mera, Willem Dafoe as Vulko, Patrick Wilson as Orm / Ocean Master, Dolph Lundgren as Nereus, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as Black Manta, Nicole Kidman as Atlanna, Ludi Lin as Captain Murk, and Temuera Morrison as Tom Curry.

From Warner Bros. Pictures and director, James Wan comes an action-packed adventure that spans the vast, visually breathtaking underwater world of the seven seas, “Aquaman,” starring Jason Momoa in the title role. The film reveals the origin story of half-human, half-Atlantean Arthur Curry and takes him on the journey of his lifetime—one that will not only force him to face who he really is, but to discover if he is worthy of who he was born to be… a king.

Aquaman is now playing. Stay tuned to Heroic Hollywood for the latest news on the future of the current DC cinematic universe as we learn it.

The Witcher is currently in development and stars Henry Cavill, Freya Allan, Anya Chalotra, Johdi May, Adam Levy, MyAnna Buring, Mimi Ndiweni, Therica Wilson-Read, and Millie Brady. Stay tuned for more details on a release date for the upcoming Netflix series.
