Henry Cavill has officially announced that he will be returning as Superman in future DC Extended Universe (DCEU) movies.
The announcement comes after the actor appeared as Superman in a mid-credits scene of Dwayne Johnson-starrer Black Adam, which was released worldwide last week.
Cavill took to Instagram on Monday and posted a message for his fans.
“Hey everyone. I wanted to wait until the weekend was over before posting this. Because I wanted to give you all a chance to watch 'Black Adam'. But now that plenty of you have, I wanted to make it official that I am back as Superman,” the 39-year-old actor said.
The Hollywood star also said that what fans saw in Black Adam is a “very small taste” of things to come. “There is a lot to be thankful for and I’ll get to that in time but I wanted to thank you guys most of all. Thank you for your support and thank you for your patience. I promise it will be rewarded.”
The actor’s previous appearance as Superman was in 2017's Justice League. He first played the iconic superhero in 2013's Man Of Steel, followed by Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016).
