If there is one thing Henry Cavill is consistent with, that is making every role he plays memorable and iconic. With a career spanning over three decades, Cavill has given countless number of hit films to the audience. While we talk about iconic roles the British actor has played, one cannot ignore the Man Of Steel and Geralt of Rivia. The list of Cavill’s iconic roles is just incomplete without these two. However, do you know working on the Witcher might have become the reason behind Cavill’s failure to make his glorious return as Superman?

Cavill’s comeback as Superman in Black Adam was once of the biggest news for the DC fandom. The news broke the internet as fans from throughout the world were eager to their favorite superhero back on-screen. While Cavill did put on his Kryptonian suit for Black Adam, chances were that Cavill would have not returned, thanks to his prior work commitments to Netflix’s hit series The Witcher. Here is everything you need to know.

As we all know, The Witcher season 3 has been a long time coming. And over the past few months, the Man of Steel has been busy shooting the same. While working on his role of the Geralt of Rivia, Cavill also took out time for Black Adam. Previously, in an interview with Josh Horowitz, Cavill revealed how he was got the call to do the cameo scene whilst working on The Witcher. The actor revealed, “I got the call saying you know this happening, when can you do it? I was like I am working six days a week I don’t know when I can do that.”

Furthermore, the Man of Steel admitted  that he had to get clearance from the Witcher production but he could not reveal the news of the cameo scene since it was a top secret. The actor added that he did not mention the cameo scene to the production house. Elsewhere, Cavill revealed how getting back into the Kyrptonian suit was a very powerful moment for him.
