Henry Cavill returns as Superman

Via social media, actor Henry Cavill announced that he will be playing Superman once again in future DC films. He made his appearance recently in the mid-credits scene of the Black Adam film.

“I wanted to make it official that I am back as Superman,” Cavill said in an Instagram video earlier today. “The image you see on this post, and what you saw in Black Adam, are just a very small taste of things to come. There’s a lot to be thankful for, and I’ll get to that in time, but I wanted to thank you guys most of all for your support and your patience. I promise it will be rewarded.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Superman was first portrayed by a body double as the Black Adam team test-screened the scene without revealing the character’s face. After the contract was finalized sometime last month, Cavill shot his part of the scene in London.
