Rows of Actors Dumped by DC Studios!
There were a number of actors who were later fired by DC Studios and Warner Bros. for various reasons. For example, there is a problem with differences in the creative side or there are also other things. Even though this is common, this moment is often the concern of the fans, especially if the actor feels right to play his character.
The DC cinematic universe is one of the cinematic universes in today’s modern entertainment industry. Trying to compete with the Marvel cinematic universe, DC built its own cinematic universe in 2013 with the start of the film Man of Steel. Unfortunately, the DC cinematic universe is more often beset by problems and controversy than it gets praise or positive reviews. One of them is how they often evict their stars. The following is a list of actors who have been fired by WB and DC Film.
Ben Affleck
Ben Affleck is one of the actors who was kicked out by DC and WB Discovery at the start of their cinematic universe. Ben Affleck is an actor who plays the character Bruce Wayne aka Batman. Ben first played this character in the film BvS: Dawn of Justice and also Justice League. However, after that, Ben had to be willing to lose the opportunity to become Bruce Wayne.
The fans themselves have long been speculating that Ben wants to stop playing this character. This comes after the film Batman v Superman did not get a positive response. Ben is still “traumatized” by how he failed to play the character Daredevil, and hopes Batman can give him success. In one of The Wrap’s articles, it is known that Ben’s alcohol problems and the cost of his rehabilitation are considered to be the reason why he was later fired from his job as the actor Bruce Wayne.
Jason Momoa
Jason Momoa is actually one of the names that is quite successful in this cinematic universe. He successfully played the character Arthur Curry aka Aquaman. With a very good physique and supporting his role, Jason is considered a suitable actor to play this character. His appearance in the films Justice League and Aquaman also received a lot of praise from various parties.
Unfortunately, shocking news has emerged recently. WB Discovery and DC decided to drop Jason from his old character after James Gunn made plans to create a new cinematic universe. Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, which will be released on December 22, will be Jason’s last film as Arthur Curry. Even though he was kicked out of his role, James Gunn himself has prepared his new character, Lobo.
Ray Fisher
Cyborg is one of the new characters to appear on the big screen DC, after they presented more A-List characters. Ray Fisher was cast to play Victor Stone aka Cyborg in the Snyderverse, whose first appearance was in the Justice League movie. Zack Snyder himself had planned to present a solo Cyborg film which was scheduled for release in 2020 yesterday.
Unfortunately, the plan was ultimately cancelled. There were rumors that Ray wanted to step down after Justice Leage. This was due to his disappointment with the production house, which cut a lot of scenes. Then, he was also disappointed because WB Discovery had not fulfilled their promise to make a solo film. Even though Ray himself is actually still interested in his character, his collaboration contract ended in 2019 yesterday and was not renewed.
Jesse Eisenberg
Eisenberg’s appearance as Lex Luthor in the film Batman v Superman was widely praised by the audience and other parties. Like some of the actors above, Eisenberg was considered successful in bringing Lex Luthor to life in the film. Unfortunately, post BvS he is no longer playing his character. There were rumors that Eisenberg would be replaced by another character.
However, he later returned as a cameo in the Justice League film which became a clue to Lex’s return in Justice League 2. However, all of that is now just a plan. Eisenberg himself was interviewed on a podcast and said that he was no longer interested in playing the character. However, he really enjoyed his time playing Lex Luthor.
Laurence Fishburne
Laurence Fishburne is the actor who plays the character Perry White, the chief editor of The Daily Planet newspaper where Clark Kent and Lois Lane work. He became the first black actor to play the character. After appearing in Man of Steel, Laurence returned to play Perry White in Batman v Superman. Even though he is only a supporting character, many fans have praised his appearance.
Unfortunately, Fishburne will no longer play Perry in the Justice League films. According to him, he was done with the role. In an interview with Den of Geek, Fishburne had said that he did not know whether the production house would need him again for the upcoming film. Even so, Fishburne successfully played the character Bill Foster aka Goliath in the MCU.
Jared Leto
Of all the actors above, perhaps Jared Leto is the most unlucky actor. In addition to receiving blasphemy and negative criticism for his appearance as the Joker in the film Suicide Squad, he also had to be fired by WB Discovery. As geeks know, the Suicide Squad movie is considered one of the worst movies in the Snyderverse.
One of the points that many fans criticize is the appearance of the Joker, played by Leto. He is considered a failure to bring the Joker to life, especially since Jared Leto’s version of the Joker is often considered strange based on his behavior and behavior. Jared returned to his old role in Zack Snyder’s version of Justice League. After that, however, Jared was truly done as the Joker.
Henry Cavill
Henry Cavill is the most recent actor to be sacked (again) by WB Discovery and DC Film. This is known through uploads on his personal Instagram account, where he stated that after his meeting with the new officials of WB Discovery, James Gunn and Peter Safran, he will no longer play the character of Clark Kent or Superman in the future.
This is actually not the first time they have kicked out Cavill, after Cavill was kicked out after the failure of Batman v Superman and also Justice League. In fact, the majority of film lovers and fans agree that Henry is the right actor to play this character. The Hollywood Reporter previously reported that Cavill had a contract to play in four films.
He had carried out his contract for three films, but the negotiations were finally canceled. Cavill made his official comeback in October after Dwayne Johnson battled for his appearance for years. He also even appeared as a cameo in the film Black Adam. But, unfortunately, it didn’t last long after WB and DC kicked him out again.
WB Discovery and DC Film are production houses that often get scrutiny from many parties. This is due to various problems, controversies, and other things that make them end up often having difficulties in the production process. The effect of this is that many of their actors were eventually kicked out of their roles.
