There was technically a cameo of Superman towards the end of Shazam however this wasn't played by Cavill due to scheduling conflicts. Despite the overall reaction of Cavill's portrayal of the last son of Krypton being positive, the box office numbers of Batman Vs Superman and Justice League did not meet close to expectations, leading Warner Bros to give any sequels a silent death.

In a late interview with Men's Health , Cavill said:. It's safe to say that should Cavill ever be offered another chance at the role, he would gladly take it. Although with his busy work schedule on The Witcher and other upcoming projects, there could be potential scheduling conflicts, perhaps mirroring the same issues in the shooting of Justice League.

DC fans still cringe at the fact that Cavill's work in Mission Impossible: Fallout meant that Warner Bros had to spend a horrendous amount of time and money to remove his mustache during the editing, resulting in the visual effect of a muscle-bound Kryptonian hiding wet cotton balls under his lips for the second half of the film.

Since the announcement, there have been no further details given of who will be playing Superman. Pete's mother later told the Kents about Clark's astonishing feat, but the elder Kents denied that there was anything special about their son.

Later, Jonathan stressed to Clark the importance of keeping his powers secret for fear of Clark's safety, telling him that people are afraid of what they don't understand. When Clark pressed him for answers, Jonathan revealed the Kryptonian space pod Clark arrived to them on, which he kept hidden under a barn. He gave Clark the Command Key and encouraged him to find out his true origins and why he was sent to Earth while reassuring him he's still his son.

Clark is now working in a highway bar where he overhears some men talking about the military looking for a strange object under the ice near the Arctic.

Meanwhile, a patron starts sexually harassing a waitress. Clark comes to her defense, and later, destroys the truck belonging to the man responsible before skipping town in the direction of the alien ship. Daily Planet reporter Lois Lane arrives via chopper to report on the object under the ice and has her bags carried by Clark, who is posing as a worker there. Hamilton is not pleased to see Lois there and tries to get her away, but her clearance allows her to stay. They reveal that imaging has turned up a massive object that's nearly 20, years old.

Later that night, Clark, away from the military, burrows through the ice with his heat vision. Lois spots and follows him.

The object turns out to be a large alien spacecraft. Aboard the ship, Clark is accosted by a robot sentry until he inserts the Command Key into a port, activating the ship's systems. Lois is then attacked by the sentry when she tries to take a picture of it, getting wounded in the process. Clark saves her and cauterizes her wound with his heat vision.

He then takes her outside where she can be found before the ship takes off and flies away. Lois writes an article about what she saw in the Arctic, but her editor, Perry White, refuses to publish it on the grounds that he's worried what kinds of ramifications this story would have on the world. She then has blogger Glenn Woodburn "leak" the story on the Internet.

The ship settles on Ellesmere Island and Clark is greeted by a holographic projection of Jor-El, who tells Clark the full story of his origins, his birth name and why he was sent to Earth. Jor-El reveals that in the distant past, Krypton was once a flourishing civilization and sought to expand themselves in the vastness of space a long time before human civilization even started; the ship Clark found was one of hundreds lost in the void.

However, these grandiose projects died out once artificial breeding was established and when they didn't manage to find new resources, and by the time of Kal's birth, their society was a shell of its past glory. Believing that Krypton's artificial breeding and genetic engineering policies led to this downfall with Kryptonians losing the ability to choose their own lives, Jor and Lara conceived Kal to rebel against this system and sent him to Earth to not just escape Krypton's end but to forge his own path.

Jor believes humanity has the potential to become as great as Krypton was at its height with Kal's guidance as he can embody the best of both worlds, gifting him a formal Kryptonian suit emblazoned with the House of El's coat of arms - a symbol meant to represent hope. After donning the suit and taking Jor's words of encouragement to keep pushing the limits of his abilities, Clark, after a stumble, is successfully able to fly.

Lois begins investigating Clark's life and his history of saving and helping people over the years, including talking with a grown-up Pete before turning up at the Kent Farm.

Lois visits Jonathan's grave where Clark arrives and tells her the story of how Jonathan died helping people during a tornado and sacrificed himself to keep Clark's abilities a secret. The topic is especially painful for Clark, as he and Jonathan had an argument before the tornado struck and he never got the chance to apologize for what he'd said in the heat of the moment. Lois promises not to publish the story to honor Jonathan's sacrifice. Clark returns home and reunites with Martha, excitedly telling her what he's found out while reassuring her nothing between them has changed.

The Black Zero arrives in Earth's orbit and transmits a message across the world to every electronic device, demanding Kal-El hand himself over to them within 24 hours or Earth will suffer the consequences. Lois is forcibly taken in by the FBI after Woodburn outs her as knowing Kal-El while Clark visits a priest at the local church for advice on what he must do. The priest, Father Leone, tells Clark to take a leap of faith. Clark recalls another childhood incident in which he was being bullied by some classmates who tried to goad him into fighting back, even as he refused; later, Jonathan told him that he would grow up to change the world and that it's up to him to decide what kind of man he wants to become.

Lois interviews Clark on his origins and notes that the House of El crest looks like the letter "S", giving her an idea for an alias Clark can use. In the middle of the desert, Zod's ship lands, where they are greeted by Faora Hu-Ul, who demands that Lois come along too.

Lois is given a visor to help her breathe, as the atmospheric composition aboard Black Zero is toxic to humans and Kal collapses, weakened and coughing up blood due to having adapted to Earth's atmosphere.

He is strapped down to a table in his weakened state and meets General Zod in a mental projection. Zod explains that after he and his followers escaped the Phantom Zone and repurposed the Black Zero's Phantom Zone projector into a hyperdrive, they searched through abandoned Kryptonian outposts for supplies and other possible survivors. Due to Clark's activation of the old Kryptonian ship, they picked up the signal it put out and tracked it to Earth.

Zod offers Kal the chance to bring Krypton back. However, Zod plans to use Earth as the foundation, which will wipe out all of humanity. Kal refuses to go along with this. Zod then reveals he killed Jor-El and then leaves to search for the Codex. Meanwhile, Lois activates the Command Key. He also helps Lois escape the ship, giving her instructions on how to send the invaders back to the Phantom Zone. She boards an escape pod, which gets damaged by one of Zod's followers. Kal escapes and has final words with his father, who encourages him to save Lois and all of humanity.

He flies out and saves Lois before her pod burns up and crashes. Clark arrives and tackles Zod, punching him in a rage as they fly across Smallville before crash-landing in the town center. Zod's helmet is damaged and his senses are overwhelmed as he is exposed to Earth's environment.

Clark taunts the weakened general and is blasted by an arriving Kryptonian vessel.
