For #SupermanDay I'd like to remind people that #HenryCavill is definitely aging out of playing the role for what @wbd is looking for
He hasn't put on the suit in 5 years and WBD will want someone younger that cost less
Sorry if this upsets you https://t.co/jZva9yNMF6

70 year old Keaton can play Batman, 41 year old Levi can play Shazam, 43 year old Jason Momoa can play Aquaman and 50 year old The Rock can play Black Adam but 39 year old Henry Cavill is too old to play Superman. What kind of logic is that? 👺 https://t.co/AGWHC63Mz7 pic.twitter.com/7higP3wPV6

I have to disagree with you. Cavill still has a very youthful appearance and is tip top shape. How old was RDJ when he became Ironman? What about Michael Keaton currently as Batman ?

When did 39 become to old. He can still be superman for 10 years or so if they wanted.
Dude is aging great.
Why does #Superman have to be in his 20s smh.
if he was 55-60 I understand.
