The upcoming film The Flash has caught the attention of fans with its latest clip, which contains a reference to Henry Cavill’s Superman. Although Cavill will not be reprising his role as the iconic hero in James Gunn’s DC Universe, there have been persistent rumors that The Flash movie might pay homage to Cavill’s portrayal.

The Flash’s Connection To The Man Of Steel:

Trailers for The Flash movie have already hinted at the appearance of General Zod, the villain from the Man of Steel film. Speculation arose that Cavill was initially supposed to make a cameo as Superman in The Flash, but this idea has since been scrapped. However, an allusion to Cavill’s version of the DCEU Superman can still be found in the movie’s official synopsis.

Rotten Tomatoes recently unveiled an exclusive clip from The Flash, focusing on a scene inside Michael Keaton’s Batman’s Batcave, featuring both Barry Allens portrayed by Ezra Miller. The footage commences with Ezra Miller’s Barry Allen unveiling the Bat computer, while the younger Barry is left bewildered upon seeing the iconic Batmobile.

As the clip progresses, both Barry Allens express awe as the Bat-Wing takes center stage. This moment showcases their excitement and enthusiasm.

The clip concludes with Michael Keaton’s Batman assuring the two Barry Allens that he will aid them in locating their world’s Superman. The line, “I’ll help you get this Superman. Then, you’re on your own,” seemingly refers to Henry Cavill’s portrayal from the DCEU.

The Possibility Of A Surprise Appearance:

Superman’s Disappointing Cameo In The Flash What Went Wrong For Henry Cavill

Although the chances are slim, rumors suggest that Henry Cavill’s Superman might make a surprise appearance in The Flash. The trailers have already confirmed Sasha Calle’s Supergirl as the primary Kryptonian joining forces with the two Barry Allens and Michael Keaton’s Batman to confront General Zod. Additionally, one scene in the trailer indicates that the characters are anticipating Cavill’s Superman’s arrival rather than Kara Zor-El.

If Cavill’s Man of Steel does not appear in the movie, it is plausible that his space pod from Krypton either failed to reach Earth or became trapped in a different realm, such as the Phantom Zone, coincidentally the same place where General Zod was imprisoned.

However, The Flash movie could still astonish audiences by featuring Henry Cavill’s Superman one last time, even if only for a brief scene or a post-credits sequence. This would serve as a fitting tribute to Cavill’s portrayal and leave fans with a lasting memory.
