With the pile of controversies surroundingThe Flashmovie and the axing of Henry Cavill, a vast majority of the fandom wasn’t too keen on the movie’s release. But after witnessing the new trailer for the scarlet speedster, fans are assured that this is more than just a Barry Allen story.
And the fact that Michael Keaton is dawning the cape of Batman after 30 years alongside Ben Affleck, who is allegedly appearing for one last ride as the Dark Knight, has left fans astounded. Fans are now imploring the studios and James Gunn for the same treatment for Henry Cavill.

The Flashis aiming to end the DCEU on a high note
With The Flash inching towards its long-awaited release, it’s reasonable to assume that it would officially mark the end of the long-struggling DCEU and will sow the seeds for James Gunn’s ambitious DCU. And it appears thatThe Flashmovie will end the scatteredSnyderverseon a high note and provide a deserved sendoff to some of its beloved characters.
And even though fans are a little bewildered about the future of Ezra Miller in the DCU afterThe Flash,many are happy to witness Ben Affleck and Michael Keaton getting the spotlight to shine. But considering that Ben Affleck is getting his last shot as Batman, fans have demanded the same hospitality for the fan-favorite Henry Cavill.

Fans beg James Gunn and WB to bring Henry Cavill back for one final send-off
Since the axing ofHenry Cavillfrom the role of Superman in the DC universe, fans have been crying foul over James Gunn’s decision and demanding to bring him back. But considering the roadmap of James Gunn’s new DCU and the struggling condition of the previous universe, the cancellation ofSnyderverseand removal of Henry Cavill seems like a necessary evil to craft a fresh and cohesive narrative for the DC universe.
But bearing in mind thatThe Flashis providing Ben Affleck’s Batman a farewell, fans demand the same treatment for Cavill. And with Zod fromMan of Steelreturning in the movie, fans demand a showdown between General Zod and Henry Cavill’s Superman and grant the actor his Swansong in the DC universe just like Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine inLogan.

If they were going to replace Henry Cavill then they should have given him at least a good farewell and what could have been better than a cameo in The Flash.

The Flash is one of my favorites DC superheroes. While this does look interesting and I love the characters they are including in it I can’t look past Era Miller still being a part of this.
How was he still able to have a job with Warner Brothers but Henry Cavill was let go?😒https://t.co/4aU0qOvJCI

With two months remaining before the release of the most important DC film in a while, it seems a little far-fetched to assume Henry Cavill in the final cut of the movie. But considering that they are following the narrative of the Flashpoint storyline, we might get a glimpse of Henry Cavill’s Superman before the DC universe resets and follow James Gunn’s vision.
The Flashwill hit theatres on 06 July 2025.
