Henry Cavill’s Superman dons the Injustice Superman suit in this new image that imagines a villainous take on the Last Son of Krypton.

Back in 2013, Warner Bros. Interactive and DC Entertainment debuted Injustice: Gods Among Us. The fighting game that launched on Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii U from Netherrealm studios featured the heroes of the DC universe, including Superman and Batman, clashing against each other in a Mortal Kombat style fighting game that tied into the Injustice comics. But when the sequel, Injustice 2, landed Xbox One, PS4, and Microsoft Windows, it gave Superman a much more villainous role than most fans are used to, as well as an incredible new costume.

Digital artist christ_ave41 recently shared a new piece that gives fans an idea as to what Henry Cavill could look like should he ever get the chance to don a costume similar to the suit worn by Superman in Injustice 2. You can check it out below.

While there are no immediate plans for Henry Cavill to return for another appearance as Superman, he has yet to officially retire from the role. Henry Cavill’s last performance as Superman was in Justice League which was was originally set to feature Henry Cavill in the black Death And Return Of Superman suit after he died in the battle against Doomsday at the end of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. The film still saw Henry Cavill’s Superman returning from the dead, but the theatrical release lacked the black Superman suit entirely. Instead, it was left to be featured in a deleted scene, but fans are still clamoring to see Henry Cavill’s black Superman suit in Zack Snyder’s directors cut of the film, which has been confirmed to exist.

Henry Cavill exited negotiations to reprise his role as Superman last year after the studio could not reach an agreement that would have seen him return for a cameo in Shazam!. Instead, the film managed to still include the cameo with Henry Cavill’s Superman by keeping Superman’s head out of the shots he was in. Henry Cavill can be seen as Superman in Man of SteelBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and Justice League. Henry Cavill will next be seen in The Witcher series on Netflix.

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! will be available on digital platforms July 2 before it arrives on Blu-ray July 16. The film 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.
