Some DC fans are convinced that Henry Cavill's Superman will make an appearance in Black Adam while others are not sure if the Man of Steel will cameo in the latest DC Extended Universe film.
Following rumors that Black Adam features a brief Superman cameo, DC fans took to the social media platform Twitter to voice their opinion on whether they thought the rumor was true or false. Black Adam producer Beau Flynn and star Dwayne Johnson have both talked about giving the fans what they want, which is a fight between Superman and Black Adam on the big screen, leading many fans to believe reports of Cavill returning as the DC titan are true. Yet, many are still refuting the claim, stating that they will not believe Cavill is back until they see it with their own eyes.
Johnson has remained tight-lipped on whether Black Adam will ever face off against Cavill's Superman, choosing instead to praise Cavill's past performances as the Man of Steel. "I will say this. I will say that Henry is a buddy and he is a phenomenal Superman. He is a phenomenal Superman and Henry Cavill is the Superman of our generation with respect to the other Supermans of the past," Johnson said in response to whether there were plans for two DC characters to cross paths in the DCEU. "Every time I see him, we have some tequila and I say 'This guy is Superman.' My longtime business partner Dany Garcia has been a passionate advocate for Henry Cavill and his career for a very, very, very long time."
Fans Want Cavill Back as Superman
Cavill first appeared as Clark Kent/Kal-El/Superman in 2013's Man of Steel. He reprised the role in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and 2017's Justice League as well as Zack Snyder's Justice League, a 2021 director's cut of the 2017 DC film. Despite the actor and the fans previously expressing their interest in seeing his version of Superman again, Viola Davis' Amanda Waller remains the only previously introduced DCEU character slated to appear in Black Adam at this time.
Johnson stars as Teth Adam/Black Adam in the upcoming DC film, who is freed from his earthly tomb 5,000 years after being bestowed with the almighty powers of the ancient gods. Ready to unleash his unique form of justice on the modern world, Black Adam's brute tactics attract the attention of the Justice Society. However, despite successfully preventing the Justice Society from stopping his rampage, Black Adam finds himself teaming up with the superheroes to stop a force more powerful than Adam himself that threatens to destroy the world.
Black Adam is set to open in theaters on Oct. 21, with the film on track to become Johnson's biggest opening weekend at the domestic box office.
