It’s official Henry Cavill to wear cape again to play Superman. After months of rumors and speculation about his possible comeback, the actor confirmed it on his Instagram account. Although Cavill appears for a few seconds in the post-credits scene Black Adamthe translator for Man of Steel decided to wait a few days to make it official.
Hey everyone, I wanted to wait until the end of the weekend before posting this because I wanted to give you a chance to see Black Adam. Since many have seen this, I want to make it official: I’m back as Superman.
Henry Cavill
Henry Cavill revealed that this scene, as well as the Instagram image, is just a small part of what’s to come. The actor thanked the fans for their support and, above all, for their patience. “I promise she will be rewarded,” Cavill said in an emotional video.
Rumors of Henry Cavill’s return as Superman have been circulating for months now, although it wasn’t until a few weeks ago that the details of his reintroduction into the DC Extended Universe came to light. Despite fans clamoring for the return of Cavill as the Man of Steel, it was Dwayne Johnson who demanded it in Black Adam. The role of the Rock in this story was not just a cameo, but a contract for a feature film.
A little taste of what’s to come, my friends. The dawn of a new hope. Thank you for your patience, it will be rewarded.
Henry Cavill
Dwayne Johnson thinks Henry Cavill as “Our Generation’s Superman” and his comments in numerous interviews have made it clear that he won’t rest until he sees him back. An extensive report published in THR details that La Roca suggested to Warner because he wants a movie about Black Adam vs Superman. Another important detail is that both Johnson and Cavill have the same representative.
Warner Bros. did not want Henry Cavill to return as Superman
One of the main obstacles to Henry Cavill’s return as Superman was Warner Bros. THR mentions that Walter Hamada, who until a few days ago was the head of the DC film company, rejected the request of Dwayne Johnson. Hamada wanted a black superhero and had other plans for Man of Steel’s future.
Another key person blocking Cavill’s return was Toby Emmerich, the former CEO of Warner Bros. Film expert Robert Meyer Burnett said he was told by senior sources that Emmerich believed Henry Cavill to be a person. non grata. The Warner president was upset when Cavill’s rep thought the cameo in Shazam! counted as the actor’s one appearance as Superman.
Given this answer, Toby Emmerich said that Henry Cavill would never be Superman again. What Warner left out was that the actor had an ace up his sleeve: Dwayne Johnson. After Emmerich’s departure and Hamada’s rejection, Rock turned to Michael De Luca and Pam Abdi. The study was given the green light by senior management, and the rest is history.
Although Man of Steel 2 still a long way off, good to know that Warner Bros. will bet on the succession of one of his best characters.
