SHAZAM! Star John Glover Hoping Henry Cavill's Superman Can Now Be Added To The Movie

A stuntman doubled for Henry Cavill for Superman's surprise cameo appearance in Shazam!, but star John Glover is hopeful the British actor can now be added into the film after the fact. Check it out...

Smallville alum John Glover made a brief, but memorable appearance in Shazam! as Dr. Sivana's abusive father, but it's doubtful that he'll be back for the sequel based on what happened to his character!

At the end of the 2019 release, Superman makes a surprise appearance at the behest of Shazam to prove that Freddie Freeman does, in fact, know the Man of Steel. However, it wasn't Henry Cavill in the suit, and a stuntman was asked to double for him instead (which is why we never saw the hero's face in the final few minutes of the film). 

Now, though, Glover has suggested that Cavill's face could be added into Shazam! after the fact, and it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for Shazam! 2 to pick up immediately after Superman sits down.

The only problem with that is how much the kids have aged, but the sequel still remains the most likely place for Cavill to reprise the role. We'll have to wait and see, but Glover's suggestion is one fans can definitely get on board with.

What do you guys think?

WB/AT&T want Superman to be what Nick Fury is in the MCU and I'm here asking why just don't let him be DC's Superman.

I don't think that's how it works, haha. Superman in Shazam! 2 would be great though.

I dunno, they could recreate that scene and use it as the opening scene for Shazam 2! :3

@Doomsday8888 - Back To The Future 2, only instead of a re-cast for Marty's girlfriend they all just look a lot older

Huh...yeah that could be... problematic. :/
I doubt even closeup shots could work.

Although, in a way, this IS interesting, in the comics they rarely deal with this topic (for obvious reasons) so we'll see.
One day, we might just have Levi as both Billy and Captain Marvel!

@obredaan - Coming from someone who is a huge Henry Cavill fan I would love to see him come back but after mentally preparing myself to see him leave (which I thought was an eventuality at the time) and checking out David Corenswet in netflix's Hollywood(pretty good show I'd recommend it), I have to say that while I am definitely still ready for a MOS2, if they were to reboot Superman...





I know wouldn't be so against rebooting Superman and giving Henry a role that I know he'd be great at:

I really do hope this leads to a soft reboot of Superman into his own movie and the revitalization of the DC shared movie universe. I really do want to see Superman, Shazam, Wonder Woman, Martian Manhunter, Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) and everyone else come together in great movies. There’s so much potential. Especially if we are getting a New Gods movie.

unlikely, Cavill probable already has a clause in his contract that says "don't CG my face ever again you assholes".

I wouldn't mind if Cavill appears in Shazam 2, but I think it wouldn't make any differance if they edited him into this scene

On the topic of Shazam 2 (if it indeed features Cavill), I can see a subplot happening where the Shazam family is searching for a seventh member. In the second one it doesn't work out with Superman, and in the third one thing's are gonna go worse with Black Adam

I think Superman works great as a mentor type. I liked it in the animated movie with Black Adam. My only fear is this, if they ever want to do a Justice League movie, Henry Cavill and Rob Pattinson may look off standing together. But maybe that's the point. Maybe it'll look good, now that I can kinda see it
