'He was a pawn': Dwayne Johnson exploits Henry Cavill for DC control: Report

Henry Cavill's exit from DC as Superman shocked many; however, it has emerged the Britsh actor was a tool of Dwayne Johnson to wrestle his control in DC.

As per The Hollywood Reporter, an insider told the outlet that Cavill had ended up being in the cross-fire of Johnson's desires and the reality of the situation, "In the end, he was a pawn in Dwayne's failed attempt to control a piece of DC."
