Henry Cavill has officially confirmed his return as Superman. Now, be warned that the following will delve into 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Black Adam spoilers…

That's right, Cavill is back in the red cape. The actor took to Instagram to confirm the news with a post including a video and a picture of him suited up as the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Man of Steel, accompanied by the caption: "A very small taste of what's to come, my friends. The dawn of hope renewe♐d. Thank you for your patience, it will be rewarded." 

"I wanted to make it official that I am back as Superman," Cavill says in the video, after explaining he held off addressing his return to give people a c♍hance to watch Blac🍌k Adam first. "And the image you see on this post and what you saw in Black Adam are just a very small taste of things to come. So there's a lot to be thankful for, and I'll get to that in time, but I wanted to thank you guys most of all. Thank you for your support and thank you for your patience. I promise it will be rewarded."

Cavill appears as Superman very briefly in the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Black Adam post-credits scene, approaching DC's newest anti-hero and telling him, "We should talk." The movie ends before Black Adam replies, but Dwayne Johnson has been hyping up a potential Bl💟ack Adam v𓃲s. Superman clash in the future, so watch this space. 

Warner Bros. is also reportedly keen on Cavill starring in another Superma🃏n solꦍo movie, though the project🔜 is in the very early stages, and the actor doesn't seem to have officially signed on just yet. 

Before Black Adam, the last time Cavill played Superman was 2017's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Justice League (barring his appearance in the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Snyder Cut), and ✱he first pla💫yed the role way back in 2013's Man of Steel. 

What's next for Clark Kent remains to be seen – but in the meantime, if you're up to speed on Bꦑl꧙ack Adam, check out our spoilery guides on:
