Henry Cavill Dons His Black Superman Suit From Justice League In New Image

Henry Cavill dons his unused black Superman suit from Justice League in this new image that imagines what we could have gotten from the Man of Steel in DC’s 2017 team-up flick.

Justice League was originally set to feature Henry Cavill in The Death And Return Of Superman black suit after his death at the hands of Doomsday in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Although the film still featured Henry Cavill’s Superman returning from the dead, the final cut did not feature the black Superman suit. Leaving the black suit itself to be featured only in a deleted scene, though fans still hope to one day see Henry Cavill’s black Superman suit in Zack Snyder’s directors cut, which he recently confirmed does indeed exist.

Zack Snyder stepped down from directing Justice League after his daughter died by suicide, turning over directing duties to Joss Whedon, who was said to be directing additional photography as well as overseeing the post-production process in an effort to maintain Zack Snyder’s original vision. But the outcome resulted in what insiders described as a Frankenstein between the two directors.

The image below gives fans an idea of what they could have gotten from Zack Snyder’s version which would have seen Henry Cavill don his black Superman suit. Check it out by scrolling over in the post below!

So what do you think? Would you have liked to see Henry Cavill suit up in his black Superman suit in Justice League? Is there another Superman suit you would like to see Henry Cavill don on the big screen? Let us know in the comments below!

Henry Cavill walked away from negotiations to reprise his role as Superman last year after the studio failed to reach an agreement with the actor that would have seen him return for a cameo, delivering two lines of dialogue in Shazam!.  The rumor that Henry Cavill’s version of Superman would appear but that we wouldn’t actually get to see Henry Cavill’s face turned out to be true. Warners managed to get away with this by simply keeping Superman’s head out of the frame of the two shots he was in.

Henry Cavill can be as Superman in Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Justice League. The actor recently finished filming The Witcher series for Netflix but fans still hope for Henry Cavill’s return as Superman in the DC’s shared cinematic universe.

Directed by David F. Sandberg, Shazam! stars Zachary Levi, Asher Angel, Mark Strong, Jack Dylan Grazer, Grace Fulton, Faithe Herman, Ian Chen, Jovan Armand, Cooper Andrews, Marta Milans, and Ron Cephas Jones. Here is the plot synopsis for Shazam!:

We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson’s (Angel) case, by shouting out one word—SHAZAM!—this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult Super Hero Shazam (Levi), courtesy of an ancient wizard. Still a kid at heart—inside a ripped, godlike body—Shazam revels in this adult version of himself by doing what any teen would do with superpowers: have fun with them! Can he fly? Does he have X-ray vision? Can he shoot lightning out of his hands? Can he skip his social studies test? Shazam sets out to test the limits of his abilities with the joyful recklessness of a child. But he’ll need to master these powers quickly in order to fight the deadly forces of evil controlled by Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Strong).

Shazam! is now playing, and will be followed by Birds of Prey (And The Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) on February 7, 2020, and Wonder Woman 1984 on June 5, 2020. A standalone Joker film set outside of the DC Films universe starring Joaquin Phoenix as the Clown Prince of Crime is also set to hit theaters October 4, 2019.
