While Man of Steel 2 isn’t confirmed yet (per James Gunn), that doesn’t mean Henry Cavill isn’t still Superman. He may not have a deal yet but he will still continue to appear in upcoming DC films of 2023. His Black Adam cameo wasn’t set in stone before August 2022. But then in August, scoops, and reports of Henry Cavill shooting a scene for Black Adam hit the internet. Surprisingly, this scoop also stated that Cavill shot additional scenes for The Flash as well. And now, the same source is claiming that Cavill’s Superman will appear in another DC project in 2023.
Henry Cavill in 2 2023 DC Projects
Popular DC scooper Syl Abdul was the one who came out with the scoop of Henry Cavill’s return in Black Adam and The Flash as well. Initially, the plans of The Flash were to write Ben Affleck’s Batman and Henry Cavill’s Superman out of the DCU. Instead, they were going to be replaced with Michael Keaton’s Bruce Wayne and Sasha Calle’s Supergirl. But now that Batfleck is sticking around and is set to appear in Aquaman 2, it does make sense for Henry Cavill to be the DCU’s Superman as well. Hence, his new scenes in The Flash will reinstate him as DCU’s Superman permanently.
But, according to the latest scoop from Syl Abdul which you could watch in the above video, Henry Cavill is supposed to have 2 Superman appearances in 2023. One will obviously be in The Flash, but the next one is still a mystery. Apart from The Flash, we’ve got Shazam! Fury of the Gods, Blue Beetle, and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom coming in 2023. But picking up a project for Superman won’t be as tricky as one might think.
Why the Second Project Could Be Shazam! 2
First of all, we’ve got to take the scoop with a grain of salt until it comes from an official source. But if the second Superman cameo is supposed to happen, Shazam! Fury of the Gods is the likeliest option. Blue Beetle and Aquaman 2 don’t seem viable projects for this. We’re not sure whether Blue Beetle will be canon to the DCU. Meanwhile, Aquaman 2 already has Batfleck to set up the future, so it doesn’t really need Superman as well. So, Fury of the Gods should be the second Superman project of 2023.
Superman had a headless cameo in Shazam!. And it has been reported in the past that Shazam would team up with Wonder Woman this time around. But after that, Superman and Shazam could finally come face to face on the big screen. It could happen in the post-credits scene where Superman meets Shazam to team up for a fight against Black Adam.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods is set to release on March 17, 2023.
