Cavill was referring to a scene in \"Black Adam\" when he appears with Dwayne Johnson's titular character.

His Instagram post also included an image of himself as Superman.

\"So there's a lot to be thankful for and I'll get to that in time. But I wanted to thank you guys most of all,\" Cavill said at the end of his video. \"Thanks for your support and patience. I promise it will be rewarded.\"

Last year, Cavill told The Hollywood Reporter that he'd love to play Superman again.

\"The cape's still in the closet,\" he said. \"There is still a lot of storytelling for me to do as a Superman, and I would absolutely love the opportunity.\"
