That's really not the norm in Hollywood. Everyone is a contactor and you are hired for a project or specified-duration contract -- so a movie or set number of seasons of a show (if the show persists). What Cavill has experienced is much more the norm. For example, Gal Gadot doesn't have any more Wonder Woman work lined up. For that matter, Jeremy Renner might have a cameo in the next Marvel show or something, but otherwise interacts with Marvel only through residuals. Note also that, as much as nerds love Cavill (for, as mentioned, being "one of us"), they haven't exactly rushed to the box office for him. Most of the DC movies he was in made a profit, it's pretty clear that continuing the DC cinematic Universe as-is wasn't going to be a breakaways success. So the people writing checks, Cavill, and the fans are all moving on to other things. This isn't exactly unusual (think Mark Hamill, Bruce Campbell, and Cary Elwes).</blockquote>
