It looks like the DC Extended Universe is finally ready to redeem itself and assert its dominance in the comic book film universe and the huge shift in momentum could happen as early as next month. Rumor has it that Henry Cavill will be reprising his role in the franchise amid speculation that he's jumping ship to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
For a time, Henry's return to the franchise seemed like a massive pipe dream but as the DCEU ushers in a brand new era under Warner Bros. Discovery's leadership, more and more people are starting to get convinced that the franchise's original Superman actor will once again take flight sooner rather than later.
On Twitter, insider Grace Randolph posted a cryptic tweet that seems to hint at Cavill's grand DCEU comeback. According to Randolph, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson might have been responsible for bringing the British actor back as the Man of Steel and it looks like he has an actual influence on the production company's executives.
This comes after speculation that Cavill's Superman will appear in Black Adam to set up an epic clash between the two superbeings. Randolph would then clarify that Cavill's rumored cameo won't be a huge scene but just a tease for the sequel. Check out the tweet below:

Intriguingly, WB removed all traces of Joss Whedon's Justice League from the latest Black Adam teaser, with Johnson taking to social media to say that it has been "corrected". Of course, it's best to temper expectations for now but Cavill potentially returning to the DCEU full-time would definitely spell good things for the franchise, especially with David Zaslav wanting to reestablish it. Here's to hoping that's the actual case.
DC's Black Adam is hitting cinemas on October 21, 2022.
