Henry Cavill Comments On The Superman Theme That Was Chosen For His 'Black Adam' Cameo

Cinema Blend

Warning: this video contains SPOILERS for "Black Adam."  After his fight-turned-team-up with the Justice Society of America was finished, Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam met with a certain Kryptonian superhero. The "Black Adam" end-credits scene showed Henry Cavill’s Superman paying a visit to Kahndaq to have a chat with the Man in Black, only rather than his DCEU return being accompanied by Hans Zimmer’s theme music from "Man of Steel," the latest entry in the DC movies library used the theme that John William composed for "Superman: The Movie." A week after "Black Adam" premiered, Cavill has shared his take on this unique choice of music.  CinemaBlend’s own Sean O’Connell had the opportunity to speak with Henry Cavill on behalf of "Enola Holmes 2," with Netflix subscribers being able to see the actor reprising Sherlock Holmes opposite Millie Bobby Brown’s title character. As the interview neared its end, Sean asked Cavill what it meant to him to have John Williams’ Superman theme play during his "Black Adam" appearance.

00:02 - All right, I have to slip in one quick Superman question.

00:07 I need to know what it meant to you

00:09 to have John Williams' theme song playing behind you

00:11 or accompanying you in the Black Adam cameo.

00:14 - John Williams' theme song is obviously

00:18 incredibly important to the character.

00:20 It's something which resonates with the character.

00:24 And every time I think anyone in the world hears that,

00:28 anyone in the world, I think a large portion of the world

00:31 who hears that will recognize it immediately as Superman

00:35 and feel a certain way about it.

00:37 And I do think it's wonderful.

00:40 But at the same time, equally so,

00:43 I think Hans Zimmer's Man of Steel score

00:45 was just as wonderful.

00:46 I have incredibly powerful feelings about that

00:50 because I remember watching the trailer,

00:53 the first teasers come out

00:55 and I was sitting down with my friend

00:56 and we were both so excited about it

00:57 and the way the score plays,

01:00 and both are incredibly powerful in their own way

01:04 and both are just as iconic for the character.

01:08 And it was just such a pleasure to be back in the suit,

01:11 whether it be John Williams or whether it be Hans Zimmer,

01:14 they're both extraordinary, extraordinary artists.

01:17 - Allow me to be the latest to welcome you back.

01:20 And I can't wait to see more.

01:22 And I hope more Sherlock as well too,

01:23 because you're fantastic in this.

01:24 - Thank you very much, I appreciate it.
