Speaking about Henry Cavill’s passion for work and how much effort he put into his character as Superman, Gina Carano spoke words that touched fans. Just like the actress noted during the podcast, Cavill indeed put his all into his role and turned Superman immortal in fans’ hearts.

Henry Cavill Was the Best Superman DC Could Ever Have

Despite Henry Cavill turning Superman into an immortal superhero for DC fans, and gradually becoming synonymous with the role, he was eventually replaced when James Gunn took over DC studios. When the co-CEO first broke the news that Cavill would not appear as Kal-El in the upcoming Superman reboot, fans were crushed. A firestorm of criticism began against Gunn, as fans considered the decision ridiculous.

Lamenting over the news of Henry Cavill’s replacement as Superman, fans almost began boycotting DC. Well, the reaction was certainly not overdramatic, for we all believe that Cavill served as the perfect Superman, during his tenure. Given the actor’s dedication, as noted by Gina Carano during the podcast, no one can replace Cavill as Kal-El. For David Corenswet, who is set to appear next, it’s going to be a rather difficult task to fill in his predecessor’s big shoes.

Henry Cavill not only looked like the comic-book version of Superman but he was also built like him. The actor’s physical appearance was truly phenomenal and very similar to what die-hard comic-book fans have imagined. Meanwhile, his prolific acting skills, personality, and determination are something that made him stand out as Superman. Whether pulling off the duality of Superman and Clark Kent or giving the character heart, there’s no doubt that Cavill was perfect as the DC character.
