Talks broke down for a cameo in 'Shazam!' due to scheduling conflicts, and the door is now closing on other potential appearances for the actor.
The DC cinematic universe appears to be losing its Man of Steel.
Henry Cavill, who has played Superman in three films, is parting ways with Warner Bros., sources tell The Hollywood Reporter. Though neither side is confirming, the British actor, who first donned the blue suit for 2013's Man of Steel, and then starred in 2016's Batman v. Superman and last year's Justice League, is said to be hanging up the red cape.

I also read that they want to focus on making a Supergirl film which is certainly not something I was expecting. I liked the first 2 seasons of the tv show quite a bit so I don't know what they're going to bring to a film version that I'm going to like. (I also have little interest in seeing a Flash film with Ezra Miller when the tv show has already done such a good job.)
The article is actually about the Flash movie being moved back, they say due to schedule conflicts for Miller. But that article also included this, which is not surprising at this point, but it being talked of as some of the first (?) official confirmation that Affleck and Cavill are done:
There's a reason why he's powered by the sun and wears hope on his chest. He's the light, Batman is the dark, it's how it works.
