10 Times Movie Franchises Totally Broke Your Trust

10. Superman's Speedy Exit - DCEU

The world of DC movies has been on something of a tough run for some time now. Though there have been recent highlights in the form of Joker and The Batman, these have been diamonds in a lot of rough, stretching back to the very start of the DCEU and continuing on up to Black Adam, Shazam! Fury of the Gods, and The Flash.

There was one recent tiny bright spot that did at least give fans some hope for the DCEU. Henry Cavill had been absent from any DC production since Zack Snyder's Justice League, and in what was the worst kept secret in Hollywood at the time, returned in the Black Adam post-credits scene.

This was huge and sent the fandom into a craze as Superman was back, and was about to go toe-to-toe with Black Adam. In reality, in didn't matter who stood opposite him, this wasn't about The Rock or the supposed power shift in the DCEU. The was about the Man of Steel, and he was back.

Until he wasn't.

Almost as soon as Henry Cavill officially announced his return to the role, James Gunn pulled the rug from under everyone and confirmed that Cavill wouldn't be the Superman moving forward in the DCU. Talk about getting people's hopes up.
