As the release date inches closer, the hype for Black Adam keeps building up. Fans cannot wait to see Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson make his superhero debut in the titular role. Not only that, recent news of Henry Cavill returning to play the ever-favorite Superman has just added to it.
The studio managed to keep this news under wraps for a while, and it got out only about two weeks before the release. Near the premiere, they were convinced that DCEU is better at keeping secrets than Marvel Studios and Disney, as the leaks of Spider-Man: No Way Home were all over social media months before its release.
Henry Cavill returning as Superman in Black Adam
Henry Cavill first played the role in Man of Steel in 2013, ever since the fans saw him don the Blue cape, they were convinced that no one can do it better. He went on to reprise the role in a few other movies of the SnyderVerse, till he was last seen in the role in the Snyder Cut of Justice League that came out in 2021.
Ever since fans have wanted nothing more than to see him play the role again. Now, there were speculations of him playing the role or maybe not playing the role going all around the news. Not just that, many reports came forward that he might switch to Marvel. But just right before the release of Black Adam, to the relief of all DCEU fans, Cavill is back as the Man of Steel. With this, there are talks of a Man of Steel sequel as well.
Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield in Spider-Man: No Way Home
It is no doubt that fans loved Tom Holland as Spider-Man, but the role has been played by two other actors before, and they were equally loved. Tobey Maguire was the first actor to wear the Spidey suit, in Spider-Man (2002). And after his trilogy came to an end, Andrew Garfield followed suit with his two-movie long run of The Amazing Spider-Man (2012-2014).
When the news of Spider-Man: No Way Home first came out and the fact that it would involve the multiverse the speculations of the other two returning to play the role started. When the first teaser came out with the old villains showing up, everyone almost knew that the other two Spider-Men would be there. Soon followed the set leaks and it was out, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield were on the sets. No matter how hard Marvel tried to keep it under wraps, fans knew. And also they can thank Tom Holland too, as in the words of Andrew Garfield “he is a terrible liar.”
Fans are convinced DC is better with secrets than Marvel
Just after the news of Henry Cavill returning as Man of Steel broke the internet, fans began to praise how WB and DCEU had managed to keep his set leaks from going out on social media all this time, when Marvel Studios despite its strict policies failed to do the same.
Check out some of the tweets:
I think it is hilarious that DC was able to keep Henry Cavill set photos completely under wraps but Marvel had shit leaking MONTHS in advance for NHW.
