Many may wonder why DC (and even Johnson to some degree) decided to spoil Superman’s Black Adam cameo early, as the movie just opened this week.

Even if hints or outright spoiling the surprise might be exciting for some people, the more cautious public might get frustrated when something as grand as Cavill like Superman is spoiled before they see it for themselves. Of Black Adam in theaters now, time will tell when Cavill’s Superman will re-emerge in the DCEU next time, especially after the big post-credits scene featuring Johnson’s titular character.
