Over the past week or two, there's been a lot of chatter online about Henry Cavill's long-awaited return as Superman. The belief is that he'll return as the Man of Steel in Black Adam, setting the stage for Kal-El to be a major player in the DCEU moving forward.
That's quite a contrast to what we've been hearing up until this point, as the belief was Warner Bros. planned to move on from Cavill by using The Flash as an excuse to replace Superman with Sasha Calle's Supergirl. It appears Dwayne Johnson has made the studio's new regime see sense, though, hence why Cavill is now back as the Man of Tomorrow.
According to one reliable insider (and this has been backed up by a number of online scoopers), Cavill will show up as Superman in Black Adam's post-credits scene.
It sounds like Amanda Waller will lay down the law to Black Adam, using Superman as her way of making a statement. This is quite a surprise seeing as the A.R.G.U.S. boss was exposed as a villain in Peacemaker, but it's not as if continuity has ever mattered to the studio.
The fact is, Superman and Black Adam coming face-to-face promises to be an insanely cool moment for fans. What it's laying the groundwork for is unclear, though we know many of you would love to see these two - and Shazam - square off on screen.
We'll find out whether these details are accurate when Black Adam arrives in theaters on October 21.
