Following the recent announcements regarding Henry Cavill's future as Superman, Umberto Gonzalez, a film reporter for The Wrap, tweeted that Cavill got paid a total of $500,000 to film scenes in both "Black Adam" and "The Flash." Fans got to see his appearance in "Black Adam" earlier this year when that film hit theaters in October. However, "The Flash" isn't set to be released theatrically until June 16, 2023.
With that in mind, Gonzalez claims that Cavill filmed a scene as Clark Kent in "The Flash" that was originally intended to be featured at the end of the 2023 film. Now, Gonzalez says that the scene in question has been deleted from "The Flash." Gonzalez's tweet has, notably, been disputed slightly by other alleged DC insiders who have claimed that Cavill's cameo in "The Flash" revolved around Barry Allen (Ezra Miller) stumbling upon Superman in the Speed Force. Regardless of which version of Cavill's "Flash" scene is more accurate, though, it doesn't sound like fans should expect to see the actor's reportedly scrapped cameo in "The Flash" anytime soon.
It is, of course, entirely possible that Warner Bros. Discovery may one day end up releasing Cavill's supposedly deleted scene in an extended version of "The Flash," or as part of a future Blu-ray release. Either way, it's worth noting that Cavill isn't the only actor from Warner Bros.' abandoned, Zack Snyder-helmed DC cinematic universe whose big-screen comic book future is being called into question right now.
