The Hollywood Reporter confirms that Henry Cavill will not make a cameo appearance as Superman in Shazam!

While fans were hoping to see Henry Cavill’s Superman meet Zachary Levi’s title hero in the David F. Sandberg film, contract negotiations between Cavill and Warner Bros. over a possible cameo reportedly broke down. According to the outlet, a deal on a Shazam! cameo fell apart due to scheduling conflicts.

Are you disappointed to hear that Henry Cavill’s Superman won’t meet Billy Batson? Share your thoughts below!

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).

Directed by David F. Sandberg, the film 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.

Shazam! will be released in theaters on April 5, 2019
