Fans can now rest easy. According to a Twitter scooper, Henry Cavill is back in the DCEU – all thanks to Black Adam. He would also have shaken a “classic suit” while the legendary Superman theme composed by John Williams plays in the background. As previous rumors claim, the scene most likely takes place in a post-credits sequence. Additionally, Superman allegedly confronted Black Adam and said the following:
“We need to talk, Black Adam.”
When this information is combined with what previous speculation has hinted at, we could indeed see both Amanda Waller, who is said to have significant affiliations with the Justice League, and Superman, who could receive the “when-all-hope- is a lost trump card treatment in the film’s post-credits sequence, creating a path for many exciting future possibilities.
Fan Reception for Henry Cavill’s Superman Return
The fans are delighted. To say they prayed for such an outcome would be to sell it short. Their love and admiration for Henry Cavill’s Superman iteration knows no bounds. However, what seems to have upset several people is that the superhero’s return is not accompanied by the iconic Hans Zimmer. Steel man score. Some Zack Snyder loyalists believe the use of the John Williams theme for Cavill’s version of the DC character doesn’t seem appropriate.
To many, it seems the essence of Snyder’s vision of the superhero is being washed away. At the same time, in a line, others highlight the director’s initial intentions of wanting to take up John Williams’ theme in Steel man. This wish of Snyder, according to the 2013 film’s screenwriter, Jay Oliva, was declined by Warner Bros.
Needless to say, fans have their own set of differing opinions on the long-awaited return. Looked:
Why would you have John Williams’ score for Henry Cavill’s Superman when Hans Zimmer is literally there.
It’s like using Danny Elfman’s Batman theme for Robert Pattinson’s Batman. IT DOES NOT WORK.

That’s not quite true, John Williams’ score would slap Cavill’s interpretation. Zack wanted to use it initially and WB said no. But I think Cavill also wants to use it going forward. Zimmer’s score will always be Zack’s score.
