Henry Cavill will return to play Superman in Shazam 2, foreign media denies it

Recently, there have been rumors that Henry Cavill will return to play Superman in the new DC film "Shazam! 2: Wrath of the Gods". However, foreign media Variety reported that according to two sources, this statement is not true. Although Superman almost showed his face at the end of "Shazam!", Cavill will not appear in "Shazam 2".

David F. Sandberg, director of the two "Shazam" films, also recently tweeted about the rumor, saying that he would not comment on it. "One of the reasons is that you can't be sure of anything before it really happens. (For example) when the filming of "Shazam" was halfway through, the plan was still that Cavill would star in it. People who dig up news at that time might have dug up this (Cavill will star in "Shazam 1"), and what they said was right, because it did happen at the time, but it was wrong in the end (the plan changed, and Cavill himself did not star)."

"Shazam 2" is directed by David F. Sandberg, the director of the previous film, and will be released in North America on June 2, 2023.
