Released just 5 days ago, Black Adam is by far one of the most leaked films in recent years. Between the spectators who were able to see the film in advance and who let loose on social networks, Dwayne Johnson who failed to keep the secret, by revealing one of the major elements of the scenario during the preview premiere in New York and the message from Henry Cavill which has just fallen, difficult to miss the information: yes, Superman is indeed back in the DC Extended Universe. The actor therefore formalizes his big comeback through a message posted on his Instagram account, delighted to be able to share the information, to the point of spoiling the post-generic scene of Black Adam. Henry Cavill specifies that he still waited until the end of the weekend to do it, since many people have now seen the film. And too bad for the others...

For Warner, this note of intent is obviously voluntary, the objective being to spread the news: the DCEU will be taken over and put back on track. The presence of Dwayne Johnson has a lot to do with it, the departure of Walter Hamada, the President of DC Films as well, the merger between Warner and Discoery too, all of this will make it possible to refocus things and offer DC the films they need need to be competitive against a still powerful Marvel, although a little confused after the end of Avengers Endgame. This no doubt explains the euphoria of the public in the face of the film Black Adam, which was nevertheless castigated by the press, who found the film winded with its wobbly screenplay, its action scenes pumped up with everything which has been in the superhero genre for 15 years, and the abuse of slow motion like Zack Snyder. But yes, the future looks more than bright for DCEU fans.
After Dwayne Johnson who himself leaked the post-generic scene on the New York avp's red carpet, it's Henry Cavill's turn to formalize his return as Superman in the DCU, and to reveal his scene in #BLACKADAM. pic.twitter.com/HdcNkgSDmI
