HBO Max to Remove Henry Cavill’s Man of Steel at End of March

HBO Max will remove Henry Cavill’s first Superman film, Man of Steel, from its streaming library at the end of March.

Cavill had been the face of the DCEU for years, appearing across six films (two if you don’t count his brief cameos in The Flash and Black Adam) before James Gunn and Peter Safran reset the franchise. That change led to a recast; David Corenswet took on the role in last summer’s Superman, which became a major box office success.

Man of Steel helped establish Cavill in the role, grossing $670.1 million against a $258 million production budget and helping launch a new cinematic era for DC. Fans who want to revisit the film should stream it on HBO Max before it leaves the service at the end of the month.
