Henry Cavill's status as Superman is kind of in the air right now, and a lot of fans are hoping that he'll be solidifying his Superman role in the DCEU by making a cameo in April's Shazam!. While a lot of people are positive that Cavill will appear, Levi kind of disproves that his Shazam and Superman will meet.
When asked by a fan on why there hasn't been a photo of Levi and Cavill together, Levi replies with:
Note that it's not a full disproval of Henry Cavill appearing in the movie, but it could confirm that Billy never meets Superman in the film… in his Shazam form. Remember that the role of Shazam is played by two actors with Levi only playing the super half. Regular Billy Batson is played by Asher Angel, and it's probably him who gets to share the scene with Superman.
My guess is that the film ends with Billy just hanging out after whatever climax happens in the third act, and he gets paid a visit by Superman who has kept an eye on this new hero Shazam. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised if Superman actually visits him as Clark Kent. Maybe they can even take time to explain what actually happened to Clark's status with the Daily Planet, seeing as they announced his death in Batman v Superman.
If anything, I still have a lot of hope that Cavill will return as Superman. He may not be getting a movie soon, but I'll settle for some recurring roles in the universe. With Batfleck officially out, I just want to have a little stability with the DCEU for once.
Catch Shazam! in theaters April 5.
