Black Adam had another credit scene without Henry Cavill?

As per reports, Black Adam had one more credits scene. Apparently, the studio had filmed a second credits scene but later deleted it as Henry Cavill‘s cameo would have completely overshadowed it. The second credits scene would have given the audience a glimpse of Doctor Fate‘s future in DC. However, it was deleted since it would not have sat right with the return of Superman to DC.

The scene was to take place in a sandy location with the Helmet of Fate on the sand. Following the sequence, a hand would pick up the helmet and the screen cuts to black before revealing the person behind the hand. However, deleting the second post-credit scene makes sense as it could have not matched the hyped cameo scene of Superman.
