We have a big update on a possible appearance of Hnery Cavill's Superman in the upcoming
DC film, Black Adam.
Two credible leakers have shared information that Henry Cavill's
Superman will be appearing in a Black Adam post credit scene and there also being the
potential that the actor is going to be getting his own new Superman film following this return.
In this video, I'm going to be breaking down
and giving you my reaction to the Black Adam Superman news, alongside giving you my honest
reaction to all of the details.

But without further a do, lets dive into my thoughts on
the potential return of Henry Cavill's Superman.
So with all the speculation about the involvement of the DCEU’s Justice League and specifically
superman being involved in upcoming projects, we all want to know what Warner Bros
Discovery have planned following their statements surrounding them putting the iconic trinity
at the forefront of the films going forward.
Well in the midst of this confusion, the return of Henry Cavill’s Superman is a question
that has been on many people's minds over the last few years, and with Black Adam releasing
in two weeks time, we've speculated that this would be the perfect moment to make something
like a Superman return possible.
After all the speculation leading into the film, according to credible leakers, Henry
Cavill's Superman may be returning in a big way, not just in small
scenes from upcoming DC films, but also in his own installment.
Now this hasn't been made official by Warner Bros Discovery, but the news that
broke yesterday included the leak that Cavill’s Superman will return in a post-credit scene
from Black Adam.
As reported by Dexerto, Twitter user @MyTimeToShineH, who has apparently
leaked details from other superhero movies in the past such as Spiderman No Way Home,
has claimed that Henry Cavill will make an appearance in Black Adam, which is the DC
film set to release in cinemas later this month.
The user said, “Yes Henry Cavill is back, he has the classic suit with the Williams
score and he says, ‘We need to talk Black Adam’”.
This statement was backed by other insiders such as @DanielRPK
and based on what they added, apparently, Cavill's Superman will wear a suit similar
to the one in Man of Steel, but brighter in style of
Christopher Reeves.
On top of this Black Adam Post Credit scene leak, The Direct or industry insider David
Faraci, claimed that Cavill may currently be making a new Superman movie, all thanks
to Dwayne Johnson pushing for that to happen.
He said on the Marvelvision podcast, "It’s all behind-the-scenes stuff that I thought
was kind of fascinating, which is that the reason why Henry
Cavill has returned as Superman in Black Adam is because The Rock demanded it.
Like, he went hard, full-court press on Warner Bros and made them go to Henry Cavill and
they had to sign a new deal with the actor, including saying
they were gonna develop a new Superman movie.
And it was all because The Rock insisted.
Not only is Henry Cavill gonna be in Black Adam, my
understanding is they’re working on a Henry Cavill Superman movie.”
So this is huge news if it turns out to be true and as said before it is coming from
credible insiders and not just random users on the internet.
We still have to take it with a grain of salt though because things do change and we've
known stories like this that haven't turned out true, but yes, it
does seem quite possible.
The Black Adam Post credit scene is the one that I think is pretty much confirmed because
since that insider posted the information, many other insiders have
confirmed that it's true.
The Henry Cavill Superman movie update is the one that's a bit more up in the air, and
while David Faraci is credible, I don't particularly trust everything that
The direct says or comic book sources like that.
So we'll have to see what happens on that front, but one thing I will say is that if
Henry Cavill is coming back for a Black Adam post
credit scene, I think it's unlikely that he'd come back just for that.
Surely it would imply that his Superman is back in this universe and that we're going
to see more of him, especially if he says to Black Adam in the post credit
scene, "we need to talk".
So in mentioning all of this news surrounding Henry Cavill returning as Superman, what are
my thoughts on all the details, and specifically the ones we've learnt surrounding that Black
Adam post credit scene.
Well on one side of things, I don't know how you can look at this news and not be excited.
You know that I love Man of Steel, that I think it's an underrated
film, and that Henry Cavill's Superman was a version of the character that I particular
really connected with.
So hearing that he is coming back and potentially showing up in more films
and maybe even his own, of course, that leaves me very excited.
Black Adam as a good film does not rest on this news, but it certainly adds an extra
layer of excitement knowing that Henry Cavill's Superman might appear at the end.
But on the flip side to this, when it comes to the scene having John William's Superman
theme, that's just a small nitpick that if true, I would
be quite dissapointed.
Now yes, John Williams score is undeniably iconic and beloved by many when it comes to
the recognition of Superman as a character.
And even Man Of Steel director Zack Snyder, has come out in the past and
referenced using that score in movies later down the line.
But I think it has to be said that for Henry Cavill's Superman and mainly, Hans
Zimmer's supportive score, which went on to recieve Bafta nominations and also a high
level of recognition, it would be quite weird for me personally if Cavill showed up and
the scene itself felt unconnected from that recognisable
version of Superman.
Here's the thing, I'm not as bothered as some are about this and again, I am excited to
see Cavill back, but I have to be honest, it does give me flashbacks to 2017's
Justice League, where we literally had a brighter suit superman and John Williams theme playing
over the footage of Henry Cavill, and we saw how that was so unfitting.
Imagine if Tom Holland's Spiderman was onscreen and Tobey Mcguire's music started playing
or the reverse.
Now for all I know, it might work way better in
this post credit scene, and we have to watch it first to really judge it.
But when I see Henry Cavill's Superman I think of Hans Zimmer's score and in particular the
flight track and the what are you going to do when you're not saving
the world theme.
When I see Christopher Reeves superman I think of that iconic John Williams score.
Now don't take this as me saying that I hate this news, I really don't, I'm actually
excited for it.
I just hope that this scene doesn't feel like the theatrical version of Justice League and
that overall, it's a fitting return for a version of this character that
I love.
The thing I've loved about some of the recent DC films is that they don't rely on nostalgia
and they've really focussed on creating unique films for the given characters.
Black Adam will of course be focussed on Black Adam, but if you're going to have a great
return from Hnery Cavill as Superman, do we really need to
do that with alrge focus on nostalgia.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see and as I said, I'm not going to truly judge it
until I see Black Adam, and that Superman scene shows up.
It might work really well with the John Williams theme, so my concerns here are just ones going
into the release of the film, and that may likely change.
But that was my video discussing my thoughts and breaking down the Hnery Cavill Superman
updates.
As I said I couldn't be happier that Cavill is returning in this role, and being someone
who loves Man Of Steel, hopefully we do get that new superman movie in the future too.
Yes, I would prefer it if Hans Zimmer's score was being used as it would help keep that
identity with Cavill's take on the character, but again,
it's something we'll just have to see first before judging.
As long as DC's keeps making good films, as they have been recently, then I
think most of us will be happy.
The return of Henry Cavill as Superman is just another reason to be excited about the
upcoming Black Adam film, and hopefully the film itself is another
great entry following The Batman, The Suicide Squad and The Snyder Cut.
But what do you think towards the news that Henry Cavill's Superman will be returning
in Black Adam and where do you stand on him potentially getting another
movie following that post credit scene?
