Black Adam hits theaters today, and despite mixed reviews, is expected to have a very respectable opening weekend at the box office. One thing DC fans are very excited about is the return of a certain character, who shows up in the movie's post-credits scene.
This has been out there for a while, but just in case, major spoilers ahead.
Not even Warner Bros.' marketing team are attempting to keep this under wraps anymore (see below), but yes, Henry Cavill reprises the role of Superman for a face-off with Dwayne Johnson's Man in Black.
The scene begins with Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) telling Adam that she won't interfere in his business as long as he remains in Kahndaq. Teth warns her that there's "nobody on this planet that can stop him," to which Waller responds that she has allies "from other planets" that can keep him in line.
Adam tells her to "send them all," and the Man of Steel makes his presence felt.
We had heard conflicting reports about Cavill's DCEU return, and recently learned that Johnson was actually integral to convincing the studio's new leadership (it seems the old guard wasn't particularly interested) to bring him back to the fold.
During an interview with Collider, Johnson explained how the Man of Steel's cameo came about.
"It got to a point where collectively, I want to say myself, Danny and Hiram (Garcia), we said, 'Here's how the movie should end. And I'll give you one further, test it, and if it doesn't work, we'll never talk about it again. Test it.' We shot it, to their credit, new leadership. They saw it and said, 'We don't even have to test it.'"
Superman's return obviously sets-up a major confrontation with Black Adam down the line, but WBD is also said to be working on another solo movie featuring the character.
