WB Had To Be Convinced To Bring Back Henry Cavill's Superman

The return of Henry Cavill's Superman in Black Adam was a welcome surprise for many fans, but star Dwayne Johnson reveals that Warner Bros. needed some convincing in order to make it happen. Cavill first played Superman in 2013's Man of Steel, a movie that earned middling reviews from critics but was generally a big hit with audiences.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY In a new video posted to his Twitter account, Dwayne Johnson celebrates Black Adam's digital release and touches on how he and his producing partners orchestrated Cavill's return as Superman. Johnson reveals that it took years to convince Warner Bros. leadership to allow Cavill to return and that it was never an option for him to build out the DCU without Superman.

"We have to bring back the most powerful, unstoppable force of all time in any universe. You guys know who I'm talking about, it's Superman. That's Henry Cavill. At the end of the day, the studio wasn't bringing Henry back, inexplicably and inexcusably, but we weren't going to take no for an answer. This has been years in the making, bringing Henry Cavill back with strategic conversations and we were not going to take no for an answer.

Johnson is already one of the biggest movie stars on the planet, which means he will generally have more power over studio executives, but the actor's engagement of Cavill's Superman fan base is sure to only have added to the pressure Warner Bros.' leadership was feeling. It's likely that, even without Johnson, Warner Bros.

Johnson has gone on record saying that Cavill's take on Superman is his favorite, meaning there was never any doubt that he would fight for the actor's return in some capacity. It's unclear exactly how Johnson negotiated Cavill's return outside the public eye, but the conversation likely came down to money at some point, with Cavill's take on Superman simply being the option that is most likely to bring in more money at the box office.

no, it was not just him

Then he is indeed a superhero in real life too. Ofc man, IT'S ROCKY! 🤩

TheRock only bringing Zack back will make hype in DCU rather then that it’s useless as Henry was in BlackAdam

Yeah yeah so you keep saying. But it was just a marketing ploy because the movie was soooo bad.

Stop just, stop.

Thanks

No this ISNT true. Oliver Stone is working with Henry Cavill on the new SUPERMAN movies. The Studio asked OS to help fix Black Adam because they knew it was crap back in July. OS added a Superman cameo to be nice. Dwayne took that footage and screwed over OS.

Only for it to be forgotten when this dropped 👇🏾

Did a lot of fighting for Henry Cavill and not enough for his own film
