'Black Adam' LEAKED credit scene confirms Henry Cavill's return as Superman, fans glad 'he won at the end'

A fan said, 'I saw the leak and #HenryCavillSuperman is in his prime! He looks unbelievably awesome'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Black Adam' has been hotly anticipated since its announcement; although DC has been struggling this year, the new regime is making fans quite delighted as they got to see their favorite superhero, Superman, in the leaked credit video of the new DC film.

The character was first introduced in the DC universe in 1945 and was created by Otto Binder and CC Beck. If you are a huge DC fan, we are sure you know that Black Adam has endured as one of the archenemies of Captain Marvel and Shazam and the Marvel Family (aka Shazam Family) in the comics.

Originally, Black Adam was depicted as a supervillain and the ancient Egyptian predecessor of Captain Marvel, who fought his way to modern times to challenge the hero and his Marvel Family associates. Since the turn of the 21st century, however, Black Adam has been redefined by DC Comics writers Jerry Ordway, Geoff Johns, and David S Goyer as a corrupted antihero attempting to clear his name and reputation. However, the Dwayne Johnson movie is a spin-off from 'Shazam!' (2019) and the 11th film in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU).
