During one of the end credits scene in Shazam! (2019), we see that,
Billy fulfills his promise to Freddy by appearing at the school cafeteria as Shazam. And at the same time, he also invites Superman as we see in the final moments Superman walking in with his lunch tray.
NOTE: The question itself is an apparent spoiler
So my question is,
Was it Henry Cavill who appeared as Superman in Shazam! (uncredited or otherwise)?
No. Henry Cavill does not appear in Shazam! as he was unavailable, probably filming MI: Fallout.
“Originally, Superman actually sat down at the table, and they had a little bit of a conversation,” Sandberg says. “But when we were up in Toronto shooting, we couldn’t make it work.”
Production of Shazam! partially took place at a real middle school that was closed “for some sort of a holiday.” “We only had the time we had because we could only shoot when the kids weren’t there,” says the director. “And, of course, I wanted Henry Cavill to pop up. But he was unavailable, which was disappointing.”
