While everyone is extremely happy about the return of their favorite superhero,
there is a surprising story behind it. Black Adam is pouring the viewers with
excitement, with Dwayne Johnson as the lead. On the other hand, the film is the
most loved because of Henry Cavill and his version of Superman. But what if we
told you the actor joined the film after half of his scene was already shot
without him?

MANY PEOPLE FOUGHT FOR THE RETURN OF HENRY CAVILL IN BLACK ADAM

Since the Justice League in 2017, this was the first time that people saw
Superman on screen again. Well, the intense fight scene with Dwayne Johnson was
already shot when Henry Cavill joined the film per the film’s cinematographer.
During The Hollywood Reporter’s Behind the Screen podcast, Sher recalled the
scene and talked about how they got Cavill on board.

They had already shot half of the fight

scene with Johnson. Then they found a body double of John Williams’

and the actor. While screen-testing, they all loved it and got goosebumps.
Everyone was happy and thought it would definitely work. However, now they had
to figure out a way to get the guy with the head; according to Sher, “it was
like, ‘Now we got to get Henry.’”

While Dwayne Johnson

worked hard to get Cavill back, Walter Hamada, the then-head of DC Films,
rejected the idea. Johnson wanted Cavill so badly that he went to the new bosses
of Warner Bros,

Michael De Luca, and Pamela Abdy, who approved it. Once they confirmed it
officially, they shot Henry’s half in London as he was staying there. However,
Sher wasn’t physically available there; he felt Cavill’s dedication to his work.

“There are certain people that are iconic as the characters that they play, and
he’s really one of them,” said Sher.
