That's the reason most big name actors have their own production companies to work on their own movies, you have way more control over your own role compared to being just another actor on set.
In any case, I think the audience still recognize great performances by individual actors even if the end product is badly reviewed or didn't do well at the box office, and there are lessons to be learned from the "Suicide Squad" and "Amsterdam" and "Babylon" until you finally get a "Barbie" against all expectations.
Sounds to me like he should be given veto power in projects he gets hired on to. I didn't mind the Witcher because I hadn't gotten very far into the lore myself and didn't see how much it had gone off the original path, but I'm kinda tired of producers and directors taking an existing story but then changing huge parts of it.
There's nothing wrong with telling your own story but enough with the bait and switch ones. Give it your own name, don't leech off of the name recognition of already loved stories.
I deeply wish The Man From Uncle kept going. Sure the whole Armor Hammer thing was pretty unfortunate, but geeze is that movie (and soundtrack) a fun watch
The only way to win is to sit down in that producer role, raise a fargton of money for your idea and teach others to bring your idea to life. You have to UNTEACH them all the Marvel/Disney way of boring, politically correct pandering to the lowest denominator. I'm only sad that this means Cavill will have less time for acting.
He didn’t leave though. he was unceremoniously dropped as is usually what happens in ‘corporate crossfire’ which only adds to the meme as he manages to get back up and sell out another show each and every time Disney and Netflix shits the bed. Which just goes to show you who the real problem with their own products is.
