abduleez1: LMFAO.... Which one is WB needs him more than he needs them. E go shock am ruthlessly. Person wey company make and shape. I'm case you forget , Hollywood business is soldier go, soldier come. No one person can manipulate or hold sway for long.
You know how many actors don portray Joker, Batman tire. Soany iconic actors. And who thought anyone would eclipse Heath Ledger when Leto dropped a shitful performance in SS. Joaquin Phoenix came and won praise and even winning an Oscar.
Who thought Keaton will be ecliped, who thought they were gonna pick Affleck over Bale. With all the noise and cry isn't Robert Pattinson the praised Batman and many people's choices. Another better actor will take that role and it'd be funny the way you'll forget Cavill sharp sharp. He will be remembered for his antics.
I don't think it's about selling oneself short but Cavill's greediness. Cos the way I see it if one is reasonable, is Cavill a box office draw. Is he Big? Is he that good an actor? The only reason Cavill has fans goodwill now is cos most ppl can't think of who to replace him at the moment. The moment ppl starts fantasising about a top actor who's equal to the task his Euphoria will fade.
Reason am na.... Gadot and Patty was given $20mn each for compensation for WW84 going to HBOMax. Just recently variety reported that Joaquin Phoenix is collecting a handsome $20mn for his sequel. I think Cavill wants to earn more, probably $30-40mn which I think he isn't even worth sef. What singular movie's success can be solely attributed to him? Forget MOS cos it's mainly for how iconic the character is and not cos of Cavill.
Me as an executive and fan sef can't give Cavill $20mn sef. If I do, na by force. Anything above that he can go fvvk himself cos he's done nothing to warrant such earnings. Let's be reasonable here... It's like rewarding someone for underperformance.
Actors who can make such demand like him are Gal, Ben, Phoenix and Momoa and maybe Will Smith cos they've got the track record.
Even Momoa sef go dey lower voice while making such demands.
IbrahimMav: On the contrary. It would make more sense for WB to start listening to fans demands. Fix DCEU and the ire will dissippate, and maybe WB will start making some roadin in regards to planning the DCEU. I'm one of these fans so I'm speaking for a lot likeminded people. Also, I find it strange that someone would take the side of corporation over fans especially in a matter in which fans are justifiably pissed. Are you a WB apologist?
I'm a fan like you. And this is another case of an issue with fans where they tend to think the whole fanbase is united on something and if you disagree, you're with the enemy, in this case, the corporation.
You're with a side of the fanbase that wants the DCEU fixed and I'm with a side of the fanbase that feels this whole DCEU has devolved into a total mess that will take quite some time to be fixed. And if WB decides that the shared universe direction is too much of an issue to contend with and decide to just keep it to standalone titles, I'm also ok with that.
IbrahimMav: Fans might be a fickle bunch but they've been pissed at WB for years and I doubt they'll stop now. Replacing Cavill in the present DCEU is out of the question. Fans feel particularly strong about it. Personally, Superman is my favorite superhero, probably of all time. The fact that he is not being included right now sucks. I love Henry Cavill as Clark in MOS, he was perfect for the role, but if a complete reboot is what it will take to have superman content, I'm all for it. Can't have DCEU without Superman, he's like the heart of the DC Universe.
If fans have been pissed at WB for years, them makes all the more sense for WB to not give a flying fück about them.
You love Cavill as Supes, that's great. Then pray he acts reasonably. If he keeps playing hard to get like an Abuja slay queen, he'll be left behind and the franchise won't even take as big a hit as you're predicting.
TitanII: How is Wakanda flooded in the Trailer, if fictionally it isn't bordered by the ocean ? How is any of the Atlantis Storyline going to play out, if Wakanda seems as Landlocked if you try to check a fictional map of it ? Honest question.
On 11th November, 2022, your questions will be answered.
IbrahimMav: And yet the majority of the audience at Comic-con panel booed DwayneJohnson when he implied that Cavill won't reprise his Superman role in forthcoming projects. Why? The fans are increasingly frustrated with WB due to the current sorry state of DCEU. Fans want Cavill to be DCEU superman, stat. Replacing him with another actor will be met with tremendous hostility the kind you've never seen before. The best next thing WB can do at this point is to reboot DCEU and start everything from scratch.
Fans are one of the most fickle creatures in existence. And in this current climate where everyone seems eager to be angry at something, I wouldn't go above and beyond trying to please the whole fanbase. WB should do what they can and let the fanbase sort themselves out.
Baddestguyp: DC has been winning of recent but seeing Marvel's lineup and plans... Even though I don't trust the quality of these upcoming movies and series... At least it's clear to their fans that they are working on something
And it's clear to DC fans that DC's working on something, so what's the big fuss?
IbrahimMav: Henry Cavill is busy filming The Witcher 3 right now, so he's busy. He's not like he can do two things or be at two places simultaneously. And besides, he'd be a fool to sideline The Witcher project where he's getting paid a shit ton of money (as well as have special privilege to influence the script), for a project where he won't influence the script or be the highest paid star onscreen. Henry Cavill is a nerd with a pretty face who has read all the comics, played all the video games and know superman inside out, but to think he's in out of the goodness of his heart is incredibly naive. He's an entertainer and he entertains for a living, and like any half decent career, he does it for money. Acting isn't charity. The fans want him, so it's in WB best interest to do whatever it takes to acquire his services. WB need him more than he needs them, and as long as it stays that way, Cavill will continue to play hardball. It's what every good actor who knows their worth do to earn more money. He's just a good businessman.
Cap! Dude doesn't have the kind of hold on the character that you're trying to portray. If he continues being unreasonable, his role can be easily recast. If the DCEU was well underway, he might have had a stronger hold but with the new direction DC and WB have been veering in, Cavill playing Supes isn't really all that important.
This trailer now has me officially hyped for She-Hulk. And not just because they added the 4th Wall Break and the tease at the end. Show looks like a good dose of fun now.
abduleez1: @ the bolded. Thanks for this bro. I come begin dey think whether I no remember well or maybe my brain dey form false memories for me.
