- ‘Superman’ features 3 major cameos. One sets up the next movie in the DC Universe. (businessinsider.com)
Hold onto your capes, folks, because “Superman” has landed with not one, not two, but three surprise cameos that’ll leave you speechless! Two of these appearances are blink-and-you’ll-miss-them moments, while the third sets the stage for the next chapter in the DC Universe. Spoiler alert: if you haven’t seen the film yet, proceed with caution!
The movie kicks off three years into Superman’s (David Corenswet) tenure as Metropolis’s guardian, but cleverly weaves in his origin story. We’re reminded of his Kryptonian name, Kal-El, his journey to Earth, and his upbringing by Jonathan (Pruitt Taylor Vance) and Martha Kent (Neva Howell) in Kansas. And that’s where the first cameo comes in.
Bradley Cooper as Jor-El: A Voice from the Past
While the film thankfully skips a full rehash of Krypton’s destruction, it reveals Superman revisiting a damaged recording of his parents in the Fortress of Solitude. And who plays his father, Jor-El?
None other than Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper, alongside Angela Sarafyan as Lara Lor-Van. This heartfelt message of love and high expectations takes a dark turn when Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) repairs the recording, uncovering a sinister second half that suggests a different purpose for Superman on Earth.
John Cena’s Peacemaker: Dropping Truth Bombs (and Insults)
Next up, John Cena makes a hilarious return as Peacemaker, appearing on a talk show to discuss the controversy surrounding Superman. As Clark Kent watches from home with Lois Lane, Peacemaker delivers some signature, childish insults aimed at the Man of Steel. It’s a quick but memorable moment, and a nice nod to Cena’s upcoming second season of “Peacemaker.”
Milly Alcock Lands as Supergirl: A Kryptonian Family Reunion
The final cameo is a game-changer. Milly Alcock makes a dramatic entrance as Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl!
Crashing into the Fortress of Solitude, she reveals a surprising connection to Superman’s furry companion, Krypto. It turns out the super-powered pup actually belongs to her!
This exciting reveal paves the way for the next DC Universe film, “Supergirl,” which promises to explore her adventures across the galaxy.
