As the release date approaches, the hype for black adam keeps building. Fans can’t wait to see Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson make his superhero debut in the lead role. Not only that, the recent news of Henry Cavill’s return to play the ever-favorite Superman just added to it.
The studio managed to keep this news under wraps for a while, and it didn’t come out until about two weeks before the release. Near the premiere, they were convinced that DCEU is better at keeping secrets than Marvel Studios and Disney, because leaks from Spider Man: No coming home were all over social media months before its release.

Henry Cavill back as Superman in Black Adam
Henry Cavill first played the role in Steel man in 2013, ever since fans saw him don the blue cape, they were convinced no one could do better. He then reprized the role in a few other SnyderVerse films, until he was last seen as the Snyder Cup of Justice League which was released in 2021.
Since then, fans have wanted nothing more than to see him play the role again. Now, there was speculation of him playing the role or possibly not playing the role making the rounds in the news. Not only that, there have been multiple reports that he could move on to Marvel. But just before the release of black adam, much to the relief of all DCEU fans, Cavill is back as the Man of Steel. With this, we speak of a Steel man sequel too.

Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield in Spider-Man: No Way Home
There’s no doubt that fans loved Tom Holland as Spider-Man, but the role has already been played by two other actors, and they were loved as well. Tobey Maguire was the first actor to wear Spidey’s costume, Spider Man (2002). And after the end of his trilogy, Andrew Garfield followed suit with his long series of two films of The Amazing Spider-Man (2012-2014).
When the news of Spider-Man: No Coming Home was first released and the fact that it would involve the multiverse, speculation of the other two returning to play the role began. When the first teaser came out featuring the former villains, everyone pretty much knew the other two Spider-Men would be there. Soon followed the set leaks and it was out, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield were on the sets. No matter how hard Marvel tried to keep it secret, fans knew it. And they can also thank Tom Holland too, as in the words of Andrew Garfield “He’s a terrible liar.”

Fans Are Convinced DC Is Better With Secrets Than Marvel
Right after news of Henry Cavill’s return as Man of Steel broke the internet, fans started praising how WB and DCEU managed to keep his leaks from happening on social media all this time, when Marvel Studios, despite its strict policies, failed to do the same.
Check out some of the tweets:
I think it’s hilarious that DC was able to keep the Henry Cavill photos completely secret, but Marvel had shitty leaks MONTHS in advance for NHW.
