2:24Asmongold goes through a post on DC box office and reported budgets, then a Batman casting post.

Henry Cavill says, "I am back as Superman." Asmongold already knows where this is going. "We're building up to how this evolved," he tells his stream, before pulling up the statement that undid the announcement.

That is the spine of "It's all crashing down..", a stream excerpt posted by Asmongold Clips, the channel owned by Asmongold and edited by the team behind Daily Dose of Asmongold. It has drawn about 2.4 million views since yesterday. The starting point is a post saying James Gunn and Peter Safran will no longer run DC Studios. Asmongold uses it to walk back through the casting story that still shadows them.

The timeline runs fast. Cavill's October 2022 video, then his December statement that after meeting Gunn and Safran he would not be returning after all. Two months, start to finish. Cavill had worn the cape since Man of Steel in 2013.

Dwayne Johnson appears from the driver's seat, explaining his push to bring Cavill back and calling him "our generation's Superman." Johnson's own Black Adam, released that same October, had ended with Cavill's surprise return. Gunn gets his side in interview footage, describing Cavill as "an absolute gentleman, a great guy about it." Asmongold's reply: "Why do they let this guy do interviews?"

Posts about DC's box office and reported budgets follow, then a brief clip of Supergirl star Milly Alcock. A post about casting Batman ends the segment with Asmongold's face in his hands.

In the comments, the studio barely features. Viewers talk about Cavill himself: how naturally he played Superman, how calmly he handled the reversal, and how he also left The Witcher.

It's crazy how professional Henry's been with all the BS he's had to deal with over the years.

Dude was so natural as Superman.

Biggest mistake was not keeping Henry as Superman or as The Witcher.

Henry Cavill is too good for Hollywood; they don't deserve him.

To be honest, Henry Cavill escaped a bullet. Superman in real life

Never forget that we also lost the best Geralt because of Netflix.
