Black Adam, starring Dwayne Johnson, is about to hit theaters. The DC movie, which has been in production for years, will finally premiere on October 21.
However, part of the fun might have been spoiled just a few days before the movie’s debut. A scene that, apparently, is from the movie’s post-credits sequence has been leaked online; it has a strong cameo and sets up for a huge shutdown.

Dwayne Johnson plays the titular superpowered antihero in the movie Black Adam. In the comics, Black Adam frequently goes up against Captain Marvel (who has been renamed Shazam) and has occasionally been against Superman. Many fans have questioned whether Superman will also be a part of this movie and further if Henry Cavill would reprise his role as Superman. If the post-credits scene is any indication, both of those things are occurring.
The brief 30-second sequence, which appears to have been filmed at a screening, features Black Adam speaking with Amanda Waller (played by Viola Davis in The Suicide Squad), who warns him that others might come after him and they might not always be from this planet.
Adam responds that he’ll be prepared.
As the fog parts in front of him and Superman emerges, portrayed by Henry Cavil, he says “It’s been a while since anyone made the world this nervous”.
The audience in the hall starts yelling and cheering, drowning out Superman’s next line.
A number of fans tweeted this video, but Warner Bros. and DC quickly removed many of those. A few of them are still accessible online, albeit somewhat veiled.
Black Adam, the eleventh movie in the DC Extended Universe, is directed by Jaume Collet-Serra. The film stars Pierce Brosnan, Aldis Hodge, Noah Centineo, Sarah Shahi, Marwan Kenzari, Quintessa Swindell, and Bodhi Sabongui.

Henry is a fan favorite, but he apparently swore off portraying Superman at some point in the past, so his comeback might be huge for DC. He was last seen in the character in the 2017 film Justice League. There were rumors that the superhero was permanently returning, but neither the studio nor the actor had made that statement official.
