Henry Cavill Teases That Superman Might Appear in WONDER WOMAN

Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment are obviously approaching their cinematic universe of heroes and villains differently than Marvel Studios, but one thing seems like it'll remain the same: there will be characters that crossover and connect one film to another. Ben Affleck's Batman is going to show up in Suicide Squad, there are rumors that Jared Leto's Joker will make an appearance in Batman v Superman (although that scene may have been left on the cutting room floor, if it ever existed in the first place), and now actor Henry Cavill has teased a possible appearance of Superman in the upcoming Wonder Woman solo film.

Cavill gave a brief interview with Brazilian magazine Superinteressante and was asked whether he'd show up in Suicide Squad alongside Affleck's Batman:

“Not in ‘Suicide Squad.”

That makes sense, considering Suicide Squad seems more like a rough-and-tumble movie that wouldn't need to include a god-like hero. But will Supes pop up in Wonder Woman alongside Gal Gadot? Heroic Hollywood's translation says:

“In ‘Wonder Woman,’ I haven’t heard anything yet, but watch that space. And in anything else, I don’t know just yet if anything else gets shot between.”

"Watch that space" certainly seems to indicate it's a strong possibility that he'll show up, even if it's only a cameo. On a world-building level for WB and DC, it seems like a no-brainer. They're going to establish an explicit connection between all of these characters in BvS and Justice League, so they might as well keep that going. And on a business level, I'm sure there's some executive sitting in an office figuring out a reason to give Superman a different suit or something in Wonder Woman so they can sell a few more action figures. Again, this isn't a done deal yet, but I definitely won't be surprised to see The Big Blue Boy Scout fly in for a scene or two when Wonder Woman hits theaters on June 23, 2017.
