Even memes are being made and were shared by fans marking that they are not happy with the new Superman.
Although the fans knew that since December when the actor announced in an Instagram post that he will not be returning as Superman. “I have just had a meeting with James Gunn and Peter Safran and it’s sad news, everyone. I will, after all, not be returning as Superman. After being told by the studio to announce my return back in October, prior to their hire, this news isn’t the easiest, but that’s life,” read an excerpt from his statement. The actor’s exit from the project came as a shock to fans because in October last year he had posted a video, where he had said “I am back as Superman.” This post definitely disheartened a lot of fans.
