How did you come to this point of view? Well, in August, industry insiders began teasing Cavill’s return as Superman in the next installment of the DC Cinematic Universe. He then appeared in Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s post-credits scene Black Adam. After that, Cavill announced that he was Back to the role of Superman in realityleaving Netflix’s the magician After the third season, where the reins of Geralt will be Handed over to Liam Hemsworth.
