Right before the release of ‘Black Adam’, actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson said that the hierarchy of power in the DC Universe is about to change and even though critics have panned the movie for not doing something special, fans are absolutely loving the new “anti-hero” of the DCEU. However, the mid-credits scene of the latest DC movie stunned everyone and gave some hope to viewers that DCEU is somewhat going in the right direction. Well, if you haven’t seen ‘Black Adam’, then you might want to stop here because there are going to be massive spoilers ahead.

DCEU finally gave fans what they wanted and re-introduced Henry Cavill as Superman in the mid-credits scene of ‘Black Adam’. The production company did a wonderful job of keeping everything a secret and gave viewers a pleasant surprise when Cavill appeared on the screen, donning the iconic suit. The unspoken embargo lasted for just three days because Cavill took to Instagram on Monday to confirm that he is back as the ‘Man of Steel’ and will be reprising the role of Superman in upcoming movies.

Fans went berserk after Cavill uploaded the video on Instagram and flooded the social media with wild reactions. One of the fans said, “I normally don’t have anything good to say about the DCU (with one or two exceptions) so I usually keep my mouth shut. But I’m glad that Henry Cavil is back as Superman.

In the mid-credits scene of ‘Black Adam’, Amanda Waller appears and tells Black Adam that Kahndaq is his prison now. She also advises him to not escape the planet and if he does, he would have to face the consequences. Black Adam says that there’s no one on the planet who can defeat him, to which, Waller says that she would take help from the people who are not from this planet.

Black Adam destroys the screen as he says, “Send them all” and we see Henry Cavill making an entry as Superman, saying, “We should talk.”
