Henry Cavill, known for his iconic portrayal of Superman in the DCEU, recently made a playful jab at his character's brief return in the post-credits scene of Black Adam. During a screening of his new movie, The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, Cavill humorously hinted that he might avoid post-credit scenes in the future.
Cavill's cameo in Black Adam was orchestrated by Dwayne Johnson, who aimed to build up the DCEU around a conflict between his character and Superman. However, changes behind the scenes were already in motion for a franchise reboot, leading to Cavill's departure from the role.
Despite his post-credit scene misfortunes, including a cut scene in King Arthur: Legend of the Sword, Cavill remains unfazed. He has moved on from his roles as Superman and Geralt of Rivia in The Witcher, focusing on new projects.
In The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, directed by Guy Ritchie, Cavill plays Gus March-Phillipps, a British Army official leading covert operations in WWII. The film has garnered critical acclaim, showcasing Cavill's versatility beyond superhero and fantasy roles.
While his spy comedy Argylle underperformed at the box office, Cavill has a lineup of exciting projects ahead. He is set to star in Guy Ritchie's In the Grey, reboot the Highlander franchise, and delve into the fantasy action genre with Warhammer 40K.
Despite any initial disappointment over missed opportunities, Cavill is focused on his upcoming ventures. Fans can expect to see more of Cavill's work in the years to come, ensuring a steady stream of content from the talented actor.
For those eager to revisit Cavill's Superman performances, they can be streamed on Max, while The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is currently showing in cinemas.
