As reports of his exit from DC Extended Universe as Superman were circulating on social media, actor Henry Cavill responded to it and found it 'exciting'.

Cavill on Thursday took to Instagram and posted a funny video in which he can be seen wearing a "Krypton Lifting Team" tee shirt, who is staring at the camera with a stony expression as a Superman figurine enters and disappears from the frame.

He captioned the video as "Today was exciting, Superman".
