rumble ofHenry Cavill ’s Superman inShazam!was the talk of the Ithiel Town last class , but there was no prescribed information regarding it whatsoever . The cinema ’s initial plan penned by screenwriter Darren Lemke has always included a Man of Steel appearance and it has stuck even after a rewrite by Henry Gayden . Cavill was in discussion to do the cameo as part of his declaration renegotiations to stay on playing the iconic DC superhero , but sadly , harmonise to Sandberg , plans for his cameo fell through and the man in the blue and reddish suit is instead Zachary Levi ’s stunt double .
It ’s unclear why the camp did n’t reach an arrangement , but it ’s more about his time to come as the character , rather than doing the cameo itself . There have beenrumors about Cavillwanting more originative control over his DCEU appearance moving forwards in particular in the much - clamoredMan of Steel 2 , not to mention a pay hike . Warner Bros. was n’t keen on deliver on these requests ending their negotiations . Since then , they have n’t notice a middle ground , with the actor ’s future with the franchise remaining bleak . No prescribed word yet whether he ’s definitively in or out in the character .
Meanwhile , nameless of what ’s really pass behind - the - scenes , speculation claiming that the film may have a Superman appearancebut with a unlike actormade the rounds online early this year and was heavily debate by the world . But it turns out , it has virtue . Once Sandberg larn that they ca n’t iron out thing out with Cavill ’s planned amour , he and his team instantly started tinkering on other ideas on how to incorporate Superman without the penury for the doer to appear . They terminate up with the vexer inShazam ! ’s final scene in which the director say that he in person prefers compared to the original plan regarding Superman ’s coming into court . While fans did n’t get to see the superhero ’s face , the chronological sequence in effect reinforce the melodic theme that Shazam exists in the same world as the Justice League with the potential of him perhaps join World ’s Finest down the route - something that Levi has repeatedly utter eagerness to do . It also gives Warner Bros. the pick to either reforge the part or work back Cavill if they come to an agreement about his contract
