It doesn’t look like we’ll see Superman make an appearance in Shazam! like Warner Bros would have liked. However, we may know what that cameo would’ve been though. Umberto Gonzalez from The Wrap has reportedly explained the cameo thusly:
“Spoiler alert, for what it’s worth the Superman cameo in Shazam! was supposed to be Clark at the end of the movie meeting with Billy Batson, the kid who [turns into] Shazam, and telling him ‘Hey, we’re gonna keep an eye on you.’ That kind of thing.”
So, Superman would’ve been DC’s Nick Fury or Tony Stark. This sounds like a fun cameo to help tie Shazam into the Justice League some day. Would you have liked to see Supes show up in what looks like the most fun DC film?
Shazam! will hit theaters April 5, 2019.
