SHAZAM! Director David F. Sandberg Hilariously Adds Henry Cavill To The Movie's Final Scene

Superman made a cameo appearance at the end of Shazam!, but we never got to see his face. After fan demand, director David F. Sandberg has added Henry Cavill to the scene...with pretty hilarious results!

We're not entirely sure what's happening with Henry Cavill's future as Superman right now, especially as there have been a series of contracting reports about what's planned for him. We know a Man of Steel 2 isn't happening (for now, at least), and while we heard about plans for a cameo appearance, it sounds like Cavill's talks with Warner Bros. are just in general terms. 

Last year, it was reported that Cavill's issues with the studio boiled down to both money and the creative direction Superman was being taken in, hence why the British actor didn't shoot that Shazam! cameo. Instead, it was a stuntman who donned his suit for that appearance during the final few minutes of the 2019 movie. 

Ever since the news broke that Cavill is potentially returning to the DC Extended Universe, fans have been badgering Shazam! director David F. Sandberg about adding the actor to that final scene.

We'll he's finally given in, and the results are...weird! We won't spoil what happens for you here, but those of you who were hoping to see Cavill back as Superman aren't going to be disappointed.

I feel like Sandberg would make great use of Cavillman foe Shazam! 2!. Hopefully they let him use the character

Sandberg not only made a great movie but also has an amazing sense of humor and seems to be a very down to earth guy.




It's directors like this the DCEU needs and not pretentious mediocre hacks.

@Moriakum - Sandberg’s the only director for DC so far who asked for reshoots, not a director’s cut, to improve the movie. The whole board room scene was a reshoot because he thought it’d be more impactful than the original scene.

@Moriakum - I thought Shazam was mediocre at best but I do agree about his sense of humor

Am I the only one who thinks this film is cringe? I don't understand how this gets so much love. In term of recent DC films, I much prefer Aquaman honestly.

it's been my favorite DC movie so far; it was campy and corny but Captain Ma... err... Shazam! is supposed to be

Only thing is I wish they would've focused on one villain and saved the Shazam! family for a sequel - although I really enjoyed them.

New 52 Billy Batson was one of the few things in New 52 that was actually better than the original, so it was cool to see that version realized.

@adamcawa - I thought they handled the whole reveal with the biological mom very maturely and without the happy ending, which was a nice change of pace. It's kids play superhero, of course they're going to be corny.

Watched Shazam last Saturday and I enjoyed it like I did when I watched it in the theater. I can’t wait for the sequel
