Akakholelwa kumathemba enye ifilimu ngalinye ngalo mlingiswa. Ngokusho kwamahemuhemu, isitudiyo sikholelwa ukuthi uCavill akazange ahlangane eClark Clark. Khumbula, uKavill wadlala le ndima 'endodeni yensimbi' (2013), "uBatman ngokumelene noSuperman: Ekuqaleni kwezobulungiswa" (2016) kanye ne- "League of Justice" (2017). Isisetshenziswa seHeroic Hollywood, sibhekise emithonjeni yaso, sibhala:
Ifilimu le-solo mayelana Superman okwamanje ayifaneki impumelelo. Mhlawumbe ngokuhamba kwesikhathi isimo sizoshintsha, kepha kuze kube manje lo mlingisi uzoba se-DC Blockbusters ezindimeni zesibili.

Kubalwa ngemali engenayo ethokozisayo, ngoba ukukhiqizwa kwale foni ngayinye kubiza cishe ama- $ 250 million. Kepha isitudiyo esikhulu somonakalo sihlupheka ngemuva kokukhishwa kwe- "League of Justice". Sizungezwe isiphithiphithi kanye nengxabano, le phrojekthi yaphawula le nkinga lapho ifilimu ye-DC yajabula khona.
Isikhathi sokugcina se-Cavill sadlala uSuperman ku- "League of Justice", yize futhi abe noKameo e "Shazam!" (2019). Kusukela lapho, sekuphoqelelwe ukuthi i-Warner Bros. Ayisakholelwa ku-cavil, naphezu kwentshiseko engapheli yomlingisi uqobo. Ikakhulu, washaya imininingwane yokuthi esikhundleni sefilimu entsha mayelana ne-superman, i-studio ifuna ukususa i-solnik eholwa yi-supergel. Ngenxa yalokhu, amaqembu aqhamuka ekhethini lokuyekethisa: AmaCavill azoqhubeka nokudlala uSuperman, kepha kuzoba ngumlingiswa wecebo lesibili kuphela.
