The only other franchise he was in was the Witcher. Both the Witcher and Superman failed due to bad writing not the acting.

    They failed because of drama behind the scenes. His camp says that it was bad writing, the producers say that Cavill tried to overstep his role. Both things can be true.

    He was a big fan of the books and the games. He wanted some creative control because the writers were going off source material. I don't blame him for leaving. His reputation was on the line as he was the main character.
