Is Henry Cavill’s Superman Back in Black Adam Because ‘The Rock’ Asked?

Although the rumor has persisted for months, a credible source is claiming that Henry Cavill will be returning in Black Adam… because ‘The Rock” requested it.

Last month The Direct reported: Warner Bros. is just about a month away from the release of its next superhero movie within the DCEU, Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam, bringing one of the most powerful characters ever into the struggling franchise. But even while excitement builds to see The Rock make his DCEU debut, one name remains on the minds of many fans as the franchise moves forward – Henry Cavill’s Superman.

Cavill hasn’t been seen in the DCEU since 2017’s disastrous Justice League and the subsequent Zack Snyder’s Justice League in 2021, although an actor playing Superman made a small cameo at the end of 2019’s Shazam! as well as the Peacemaker finale.

There was also a rumor that Cavill was set to make a surprise appearance at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, but when that didn’t come through, DC fans couldn’t help but express their disappointment over the matter.

And while there are still no confirmations whatsoever about Cavill coming back for his first DC outing in five years (besides a few cryptic Dwayne Johnson teases), a new rumor teases how it might be set to come with Black Adam in just a few weeks.
