A new report suggests thatHenry Cavillwill make his next appearance asSupermanin DC’s upcomingShazam!movie. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson spoke to Cavill not too long ago regarding a possible cameo in theBlack Adammovie. However, it doesn’t look like Johnson will be getting ready for that production for a little while longer, butShazam!is getting ready to start filming next month, leading to speculation that Henry Cavill could show up in a flashback-type of situation.

Revenge of the Fans reports that Henry Cavill’sSupermanwill show up in theaters on April 5th, 2019 inShazam!The report claims that the recent restructuring at Warner Bros. and DC after the box office failure ofJustice Leaguehas left many questions regarding the next move in in the future ofSuperman. It has also been rumored that there will be aMan of Steel 2announcement possibly coming this summer at San Diego Comic-Con, which means it will likely be after 2020 sometime that we will see the sequel. It’s important to note that this is unconfirmed at this point in time, so take the news with a grain of salt.

As far as how theSupermancameo will work in the context ofShazam!, it has been rumored that it will have to be a flashback-type of scenario.Young Billy Batsonlooks up to the Man of Steel and in an audition tape first found by Omega Underground, Batson reportedly has a lot ofDC Universe memorabilia, including a gun shell casing that bounced off ofSuperman. This could be a key moment for a flashback to occur. Revenge of the Fans has another theory that one of the little kids filming with a cellphone at the beginning ofJustice Leaguecould possibly be a younger Billy Batson. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens if at all when the movie hits theaters in 2019.

In otherShazam!news, it was recently announced thatNo Tomorrowactress Marta Milans has joined the cast reportedly as Billy Batson’s foster mother. Her role has not been revealed, but it looks like she will be playing Rosa Vasquez, who with her husband Victor, take care of Billy and his foster brothers and sisters. Victor is rumored to be played byThe Walking Dead’s Cooper Andrews. However, both roles have not been confirmed officially at this time.

WithSuperman’s future at Warner Bros. in limbo at the moment, a cameo inShazam!seems to make the most sense for the next time that he will be seen on the big screen. But most fans are wondering what’s next forMan of Steel 2, which doesn’t really have anything going on at the moment. Henry Cavill has been tight-lipped about the situation, but it’s probably because he really doesn’t know what’s going on either. For now, it looks like Henry Cavill will make a small cameo asSupermaninShazam!The original report is fromRevenge of the Fans.
