Henry Cavill hasn’t played Superman in Warner Media’s DC Comics Universe films in a while, having last worn the cape and tights for Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Today, however, speculations have begun to surface that Cavill may be set to return for a meeting with Dwayne Johnson’s old-school anti-hero, shortly after its world premiere in Mexico City.
Black Adam is slated to hit theatres shortly, but premieres and test leaks have taken the film in an unexpected direction. This leak goes on to discuss the film’s narrative as well as indicate or rather confirm Henry Cavill’s Superman’s return in a cameo.
Superman’s role in Black Adam
Dwayne Johnson has been building anticipation for a Black Adam-Superman showdown since long before Black Adam was even in development, and it has become an almost unavoidable component of Johnson’s DCEU debut.
According to a new leak, Cavill will appear in the movie directed by Jaume Collet-Serra. While the report details have elicited a mixed reaction from followers, the news is cause for jubilation. To say that supporters of the SnyderVerse and the Cavill-Superman edition are ecstatic would be underestimating the significance of such a confirmation.

And, while this is all unsubstantiated speculation, it does allow us to dwell on one of our favorite elements from these leaked reports: The fact that Cavill’s comeback would be accompanied by the character’s classic theme by John Williams.
Snyderverse fans are against this Superman cameo
Spoilers ahead!!
In the post-credits scene of Black Adam, Amanda Waller tells Teth Adam not to leave Khandaq because it is now his prison. He replies: “Or what!? there’s no one on this planet that can stop me.” In that case, she says she’ll bring someone from another world to deal with him.

Henry is back, and you are upset. Are you actually a fan? Would you have rather they recast him and have zero chance?
My god.

It should have been pitched with shazam asking supe for help or something. It just doesn't make superman get to meet Black Adam before shazam

There's no way Black Adam actually is gonna beat superman, that would be lile having green goblin beat Thor. Just cos they're gonna fight doesn't mean that Adams gonna win.

Probably she would tell Superman that Black Adam is a threat and let Superman do his thing

And suddenly, out of the smoke and shadows, a figure in a cape flies down, and it’s Henry Cavill, who tells Adam that it’s been a long time since someone has made the world this nervous, and they should talk.
Hardcore Zack Snyder fans are criticizing this, as according to Zack Snyder’s vision, Superman is considered the epitome of Justice, and following a government agent, especially someone as cunning as Waller, is against his policy and Snyder’s Vision.
Many followers are still struggling to accept the veracity of such rumors and leaks. Fortunately, their wait is almost over. The questions that have haunted the minds of thousands of fans will be resolved soon – hopefully satisfactorily.
Black Adam will be released in theatres on October 21, 2022.
