We explain to you the answer to the question of whether Cavill appears in The Flash. There follow of course spoilerif you want to be surprised!
Henry Cavill’s Superman makes an appearance in The Flash, but there’s a catch
The short but complicated answer is yes. There are two small Superman scenes in The Flash, one with and one without Henry Cavill. The first sequence is a live televised broadcast of Superman helping with a volcanic eruption. However, the short TV scenes only show the Man of Steel from behind. So Henry Cavill wasn’t in front of the camera. A double was clearly used instead.
The second Cavill-Superman scene in The Flash occurs when Barry (Ezra Miller) travels back in time through his extreme speed. This causes many moments from DC’s past to appear around him. One of them shows Superman for a few seconds in a Justice League moment. For this, the material from Zack Snyder’s film is reused.
This means that technically there are two scenes in The Flash featuring Cavill’s Superman. However, no new material was filmed with the star for either moment.
