Director David F. Sandberg has said he wanted Cavill’s Superman to be part of the film.
Shazam: Fury Of The Gods will not feature Henry Cavill again as Superman, despite rampant rumours to the contrary. The sequel to the hit 2019 film Shazam: Fury Of The Gods will further the adventures of Billy Batson and his adoptive family, imbued with the magical powers of the wizard Shazam.
Two sources with direct knowledge of the production and Cavill`s schedule confirmed to Variety that Henry Cavill will not appear as Superman in the upcoming DC Film Shazam: Fury of the Gods.
In an attempt to address the recent rumours surrounding Cavill’s appearance in the sequel, director David F. Sandberg noted that at one point, Cavill was supposed to don Superman’s cape and tights in 2019’s ‘Shazam!’
Sandberg tweeted: “Halfway through shooting ‘Shazam,’ the plan was still for Cavill to be in it.” It’s also why Sandberg says he isn’t commenting on the casting rumours about Cavill: “You can’t be sure about anything until it’s happened.”
