Henry Cavill has revealed scrumptious details behind his not-so-secret appearance in Black Adam. The Witcher actor made this revelation during a recent interview on Live with Kelly & Ryan.
According to Cavill, the scene was shot in a Warner Bros. studio in the UK on a secret set sometime in September, only a few weeks before the movie's premiere. The shoot was very secretive and neither Cavill nor the people involved could discuss it with anybody. At the time he got the call for the role, he was working on the third season of Netflix's The Witcher series. As a result, he had to seek permission from the producers.
In his words, "And we had to get clearance from Witcher production at the time, but it was so top secret we couldn't tell them what. We just said "Hey, there's this thing I'm gonna do. Can you clear me for it?"
Black Adam stars Dwayne Johnson in the titular role. For several years, Johnson tried to get the former head of DC Films, Walter Hamada, to sign off on Cavill's return to no avail. It got to a point that Johnson reportedly had to get in touch with Hamada's higher-ups, Warner Bros. executives, to plead his case.
