HEARTBREAK – HENRY CAVIL DROPPED AS SUPERMAN

Henry Cavill has been forced to admit that he won’t be portraying Superman going forward, only three weeks after declaring he was “back as Superman.”

Instead, James Gunn, co-chief of DC Studios, will relaunch the Man of Steel in a new film that will show the venerable hero as a young man.

The first projects in their new slate of DC productions will be revealed at the start of 2023, according to a tweet from Gunn and his producing partner Peter Safran. “Superman is one of the people on the list. The role of Superman won’t be performed by Henry Cavill since the first half of our tale will concentrate on an earlier period of Superman’s existence, according to Gunn.

In response to questions from fans, Gunn said that he is currently writing the movie and has been doing so “for a long,” that it won’t be an origin narrative, and that it doesn’t yet have a director.

Cavill wrote on Instagram about this sudden change in his circumstances. “Everyone, the news is sad. After all, I won’t be coming back as Superman,” he added, before taking a light jab at Warner Bros. for its erratic decision-making in recent months as it processed its merger with Discovery and relaunched DC films and television under Gunn and Safran. This news isn’t easy to share because the studio instructed me to do so back in October, before [Gunn and Safran’s] hiring, but that’s life, according to Cavill.

“The changing of the guard is something that happens. I respect that. James and Peter have a universe to build. I wish them and all involved with the new universe the best of luck, and the happiest of fortunes.”

After Black Adam actor Dwayne Johnson was successful in convincing Warner Bros. execs to allow Cavill to appear in a post-credits sequence for his film, Cavill had written about his comeback to the character. Even though Cavill apparently recorded a cameo for The Flash, it’s not yet known if it will be utilized in the movie.

Liam Hemsworth will take Cavill’s position as the lead in Netflix’s popular TV adaption of The Witcher, it was recently revealed. The choice in this instance seems to be made by Cavill. Some have conjectured that he dropped the role of Geralt of Rivia in order to take on the role of Clark Kent again, while others have conjectured that he had a disagreement with showrunner Lauren Hissrich.

Although he did not clarify whether Cavill would appear as a new character or as a different Superman (like to Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck’s shared comeback as Batman in The Flash), Gunn suggested that Cavill may still have a role in upcoming DC Studios productions. We just had a wonderful meeting with Henry, of whom we are huge admirers, and we discussed a number of intriguing opportunities to collaborate in the future, according to Gunn. Additionally, Gunn revealed that he and Safran had a meeting with Affleck to discuss giving the former Bruce Wayne the directing job on a DC movie. Exactly because he wants to direct and we want him to direct, we met with Ben yesterday. We simply need to find the appropriate project, Gunn tweeted.

He made no mention of the other Superman project, a movie about a Black Superman written by Ta-Nehisi Coates and produced by J. J. Abrams, which has been in production at Warner Bros. The Hollywood Reporter claims that this project remains unaffected by Gunn’s newest picture and that Coates is currently revising the script.

Prior to sharing the Superman news, Gunn debunked a rumour that Batman, the film directed by Matt Reeves and starring Robert Pattinson, will be included in the larger DC Universe. This is just false, he declared.

Rapper Gunna out of jail after pleading guilty to racketeering conspiracy charge

Gunna, the rapper who was arrested in Atlanta in May as part of a RICO case against the Young Slime Life (YSL) gang, was released from jail Wednesday after entering a negotiated guilty plea on a racketeering conspiracy charge.

The 29-year-old rapper, whose real name is Sergio Kitchens, was sentenced to five years in prison with four years suspended, according to WSB-TV Channel 2 in Atlanta. The one-year sentence was then commuted to time served, with special conditions that include 500 hours of community service.

The rapper’s sentence will be completed once he does his community service, attorney Steve Sadow said. It will include 350 hours speaking to young men and women about the “hazards and immorality” of gangs and gang violence. He must stay away from guns and from his co-defendants unless the communication goes through attorneys or his record label.

Gunna entered what’s known as an Alford plea, which allows a person to plead guilty — while still maintaining innocence — if it’s believed the prosecution’s evidence would likely result in a guilty verdict at trial.

“While I have agreed to always be truthful, I want to make it perfectly clear that I have NOT made any statements, have NOT been interviewed, have NOT cooperated, have NOT agreed to testify or be a witness for or against any party in the case and have absolutely NO intention of being involved in the trial process in any way,” the rapper said in a statement obtained by The Times.

If Gunna is called as a witness by anyone in the upcoming trial, which is set to start in January, “He will testify truthfully, but he reserves his right to assert his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination,” Sadow said.

Gunna said in the statement that he did not consider YSL to be a “gang” when he became affiliated with the group in 2016. He said he thought it was “more like a group of people from metro Atlanta who had common interests and artistic aspirations” and maintained that his focus in YSL was “entertainment — rap artists who wrote and performed music that exaggerated and ‘glorified’ urban life in the Black community.”

“I love and cherish my association with YSL music, and always will,” Gunna said in the statement. “I look at this as an opportunity to give back to my community and educate young men and women that ‘gangs’ and violence only lead to destruction.”

A 56-count grand jury indictment in May identified Gunna, Young Thug (real name Jeffery Lamar Williams) and 26 others as members of YSL, a criminal street gang. Some of the defendants were charged with violent crimes such as murder and attempted armed robbery. Authorities have said Williams and Kitchens are leaders in the gang, but their attorneys have contested the charges for months, the AJC reported.

The indictment also alleged that 31-year-old Young Thug was a founder of the YSL gang and alleged he was linked to offenses in 2013 and 2018. He remains in jail, pending trial, with jury selection set for Jan. 4.

Last week, a grand jury charged the 31-year-old with four additional counts related to a May 2021 incident where he allegedly drove 120 miles per hour on an Atlanta freeway, FOX5 Atlanta reported Tuesday.
