In the animation exhibition, DC is very disappointing. Many DC fans complained about Henry Cavill's absence, which was too sad. Not only that, Dwayne Johnson admitted that at the same time he also talked about Henry Cavill's position in his mind.
Henry Cavill has been absent from DC for a very long time since "Justice League". So far, there are no plans for him to return. Even though, Dwayne Johnson repeatedly hinted at the potential conflict between Superman and Black Adam, he said he would try hard to listen to fans. Considering that the movie "Black Adam" will be released soon after the animation exhibition, everyone was looking forward to the appearance of Henry Cavill, but unfortunately: not!
It is worth mentioning that in addition to fans, Dwayne Johnson has always been the biggest supporter of Superman’s return. Dwayne Johnson is very influential in Hollywood. Not only that, he has also emphasized over the years that he likes to meet Superman very much. Even his slogan: "The rights of the DC universe are about to change", which is also a hint to Superman. Because among the so-called power levels in DC, Superman is basically the only character who can compete with Black Adam.
It is worth noting that on Dwayne Johnson's own social account, he also posted a picture of the fusion of Superman and Black Adam logo. He also stressed that he would always listen to the audience. In the comic show, when asked who would win when Superman and Black Adam were fighting, he said it depends on who plays Superman. At that time, it caused boos from the audience in Hall H. Afterwards, Dwayne Johnson was interviewed by Comic Book, and he praised Henry Cavill, saying, "He is the superman of our generation." Not only that, he also revealed, "He is an extraordinary superman."
I have to say that even Dwayne Johnson, who constantly emphasizes Black Adam's strength, expressed his admiration when he talked about Superman. As he said, Henry Cavill is the Superman of our generation, although DC had some problems when shaping Superman (this is why Superman hasn't appeared in the DC Universe for so long). However, with Ben Affleck playing Batman, it will appear in the next "Aquaman 2", which means that although DC and Warner Bros. gave up on Director Zha's cinematic universe, they still did not give up on the superheroes in Director Zha's cinematic universe.
So, the return of Superman played by Henry Cavill is intentionally concealed by DC and Warner Bros., or they did not agree on this behind the scenes. Perhaps, they really brought out Superman after the movie "Black Adam" was released. Of course, "Thunder Shazam 2" can also become the place where Superman appears. Because in the first movie of "Thunder Shazam", we saw a Superman Easter egg. Regardless, Dwayne Johnson also emphasized Henry Cavill's position in his mind. As for whether Superman can really appear in "Black Adam", we will wait and see.
