RUMOR: Henry Cavill's Superman Will Reportedly Return For An Appearance In The SHAZAM! Movie
We'll have to take this with a pinch of salt for now, but if a new report is accurate, we won't have to wait until the Man of Steel sequel to see Henry Cavill back in action as The Big Blue Boy-scout!
We still don't have any official word on the status of a direct sequel to Zack Snyder's Man of Steel (it seems we may have to wait until SDCC for that), but that doesn't mean theaters will be a Supes-free zone in the meantime.
According to a new report from Revenge of The Fans, Henry Cavill will be back in the red 'n blue tights for an appearance in 2019's Shazam! movie.

Apparently, the studio wants to keep the character fresh in peoples' minds, and with Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam movie still a long way off, David F, Sandberg's first big-screen outing for the Big Red Cheese made the most sense.
The report doesn't mention exactly how Supes will factor into the plot, but taking Billy Batson's admiration for the iconic DC hero into account, there's a decent chance the two will cross air-space when the young man eventually assumes a superhero identity of his own.
Though we will be keeping this firmly in the rumor pile for the time being, let us know what you think of the prospect of Superman showing up in the Shazam! movie in the usual place.
