Henry Cavill trends after Peacemaker episode 8’s Justice League cameo featuring Man of Steel & others

HBO Max’s Peacemaker finale seems to have hit all the right notes for DC fans, especially with episode 8’s climax ending with a major cameo featuring the Justice League (or what’s left of it). The Man of Steel’s appearance, in particular, has the fandom up in arms for replacing Henry Cavill with a stand-in, though – some are also seeing it as a sign of hope for Superman’s return.

Peacemaker episode 8 saved the DCEU world from another “Kaiju” size catastrophe only this time from an alien species dubbed Butterflies. John Cena’s Chris, Freddie Stroma’s Vigilante, Jennifer Holand’s Harcourt, Danielle Brook’s Adebayo and Steve Agee’s John Economos manage to kill the cow – the butterflies’ only source of food, yet not without breaking a sweat. And to top it all, Waller’s back-up does arrive at the party with Jason Momoa’s Aquaman, Ezra Miller’s The Flash, and stand-ins for Superman and Wonder Woman, making a last-minute entrance.

While Aquaman and The Flash are played by their respective actors, Cavill and Gal Gadot’s roles are portrayed by stand-ins. Disappointed DCEU fans have more or less seen it as a snub for The Witcher star from returning to the role. However, the use of a stand-in with Cavill’s physical attributes has some wondering if there’s more to the multiverse arc coming up in the Miller starrer The Flash movie. Readers can check it out below.

Ray Fisher’s Cyborg and Ben Affleck’s The Batman are entirely out of the picture. Dark Knight’s MIA status could be due to Affleck’s exit and Michael Keaton’s yet-to-be-addressed return to the Batman role. Speaking with Variety, Gunn also weighed in on Batman and Cyborg being a no-show saying, “You know, I don’t know what I can — there are reasons for it, but I’m actually uncertain whether I can say what those reasons are. It might have to do with future stuff.”

On the bright side, Christopher Smith and his companion Eagly will soon return as director James Gunn confirmed Peacemaker season 2’s renewal. But Superman’s future still remains in limbo with neither Cavill nor Warner Bros. offering any indication for a Man of Steel sequel.
