Henry Cavill was reportedly paid a hefty sum for his Superman cameos in movies like Black Adam.

While the exact figure has not been revealed, sources close to the actor say that he was paid quite handsomely for his brief appearances.

This is good news for fans of the Man of Steel, as it means that we may see more of Cavill in the future.

We can only hope that this means we’ll get to see more of Superman on the big screen!

The DC Extended Universe has been known for its wild behind-the-scenes twists, and the studio has definitely not been disappointing in that regard lately. New CEO James Gunn and Peter Safran have been making changes to help make the DCEU a more cohesive shared universe, although not every update has thrilled the fandom. Case in point: news that Henry Cavill actually wouldn’t be back as Superman, despite his recent return to the role opposite Dwayne Johnson. And Cavill was reportedly paid a chunk of change for his Superman cameos like Black Adam.

For years now, Henry Cavill’s future as Superman has been uncertain, especially after he was noticeably absent from DC’s Justice League following its disappointing theatrical run. He was supposed to make a cameo appearance in the first Shazam movie, but it never came to fruition. However, things finally started looking up when he appeared in Black Adam’s mid-credits scene and hyped up fan excitement on social media. A report by film journalist and DC scooper Umberto Gonzalez seemingly revealed how much money Cavill made for these cameo appearances.

Wow, it sounds like Henry Cavill made a lot of money for his small role in Black Adam! This hasn’t been confirmed by Cavill or the studio, but it would make sense given how successful he’s been since playing Superman.

This report is bound to upset some hardcore fans. Black Adam broke the internet when it was released, with Henry Cavill finally donning the cape again as Clark Kent/Superman. But despite this, it sounds like Cavill’s tenure as DC’s biggest hero has finally come to an end. Perhaps he should have negotiated a bigger payday for those cameos.

Just months after playing Superman in a movie, Henry Cavill took to social media to reveal that the studio was no longer moving forward with him in the role. While James Gunn has said that Superman will still play a part in the future of the DCEU, it will be a different take on the character. Gunn’s response did make it seem like he would like to work with Cavill again in the future.

The news of Henry Cavill’s departure as Superman has fans wondering what the future of DC will look like. With James Gunn and Peter Safran at the helm, it is clear that DC has a vision for their shared universe that will bring movies, tv shows, and video games together. Fans were shocked when the Batgirl movie was scrapped entirely, but Blue Beetle moving from HBO Max to a full theatrical release shows that DC is willing to make changes to stay ahead of the curve.

The next installment in the DCEU is Shazam! Fury of the Gods, releasing on March 17th. In the meantime, you can check out the 2023 movie release dates and plan your trips to the theater for next year. With Henry Cavill officially out as Superman, that begs the question: could he actually be the new James Bond?
