Everything that has been going on with DC or Warner Bros. like the controversy surrounding Ezra Miller, the cancellation of Batgirl, Shazam 2 and Aquaman 2 pushed to next year and Warner Bros.’ merger with Discovery, it seems like Black Adam is the only movie that is going in its favor. However, because of all the controversies, people’s attention has been diverted from the latest DC flick. Well, to guide them in the right direction, Warner Bros. released the final trailer of the film and it is amazing! The last update we got regarding the film was a report suggests that Black Adam has added some extra post credit scenes. The film features Dwayne Johnson as the titular anti-hero and will showcase his origin story. The trailer was pumping a lot of heart.
DC wants this film to do well so when they eventually do make Shazam and Black Adam fight it’ll be a spectacle. However, I’m unsure what a solo film to a potential villain means. I mean if Black Adam chooses to be the destroyer of the world at the end of the film to make his villainous arc complete, that’s a bummer note to end a film on. Or if they do the opposite where he chooses to be the survivor, why will Shazam and him fight? Shazam is clearly a hero figure. So that’s unclear to me. Black Adam is an adversary of Shazam portrayed by Zachary Levi in 2019’s Shazam. It is quite possible he makes a cameo in the film and speaking of cameos there is a new rumor around the corner that Henry Cavill’s Superman might appear in the film as well.
Black Adam And Superman Fight?
This is not a new rumor, fans are so desperate to have Henry Cavill back as Superman that the rumors to him appearing in various important DC events have been around for a long time. However, this rumor has some credibility to it. Previously, there was a rumor about Henry Cavill appearing at the DC panel in San Diego Comic Con 2022. The rumor first started as Insider KC Walsh tweeted on Twitter that Henry Cavill would be returning as Superman in the new Black Adam film.
One tweet included an image of Dwayne Johnson from the movie along with a dialogue exchange between him and another character, with the other saying they’re “not from this planet”, Black Adam tells someone off-screen, “There is no one [on] this planet that can stop me” and then the other character replies, “Good thing I’m not from this planet…” The first line is directly stated by Black Adam in the most recent ‘Darkness’ TV spot for the movie but we don’t hear the next line. Maybe it is saved for the film.
Henry Cavill last appeared as Superman in 2017’s Justice League and 2021’s Zack Snyder’s Justice League. However, there were two Superman cameos after that as well. One in 2019’s Shazam! where we saw a headless Superman cameo and the other in Peacemaker’s finale. A fan replied to Walsh’s tweet referencing these two cameos, “Headless cameo LETS GOOOO,” Walsh actually replied to this. He didn’t spill out anymore details but he simply replied “No”. Hinting that the cameo is a proper appearance by Henry Cavill.
