Henry Cavill decides it's time to spoil that Black Adam cameo
The Rock’s two-hour CGI punch-o-rama did what it was supposed to and reminded fans that Superman is still around

This post discusses the plot of Black Adam.
Black Adam made a whopping $67 million at the box office this weekend. It is the biggest opening weekend for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as a lead and the biggest opening for a film in the Adam Cinematic Universe, which also includes the 1949 George Cukor film Adam’s Rib and Saturday Night Live’s Best Of Adam Sandler. Congrats to Black Adam for changing the hierarchy of power in the ACU.
But while Black Adam was a cause for celebration among boys named Adam, desperate for another film with their special name in the title, it was also a comeback for a boy named Henry. This is where that spoiler warning up top comes into play, but it really doesn’t matter because everyone was spoiling this before the movie came out. Don’t spoil the Endgame? Not on Cavill’s watch! As those who saw Black Adam and anyone who read reports about how Superman would be in the movie can attest, Henry Cavill’s Superman appears in a Black Adam in his first appearance as blue boy since 2021’s Zach Snyder’s Justice League: Justice Is Grey.
Doubling down on the reveal that Superman was back, Cavill announced on Instagram that he would be caping up and knocking down buildings again. “I wanted to wait until the weekend was over before posting this because I wanted to give you all chance to watch Black Adam,” Henry Cavill said in an Instagram video approximately 96 hours after Black Adam opened. “But now that plenty of you have, I wanted to make it official that I am back as Superman.”
