Gadot and Momoa are irrelevant for Cavill's status as Superman. But The Rock is a producer of Black Adam along with Henry's agent. If they planned to have Cavill as antagonist in the Black Adam sequel, that could play in Henry's favor.
The Rock even commissioned a fanart of Cavill Superman beating Black Adam, lol:
"Back in early 2018 @therock and his team reached out to me and asked me if I could create a piece of him fighting Superman @henrycavill with superman doing some damage (his idea 😂 This was around the time where the movie was in circulation but not 100% and it's crazy to think from this piece I got to run it back officially but this time with @jimlee"

Some love for Henry Cavill work as Superman. I agree with them, even though I had some issues with Man of Steel story, I still really liked the movie overall and think it's up there in quality with Aquaman, Shazam and WW.
Sandra Bullock, Halle Berry, Nicole Kidman, Viola Davis, Diane Lane, Helen Hunt, Emma Thompson, Michell Pfieffer, Meryl Streep, all don't seem to have trouble finding work. People that can act are always going to get work no matter
what their age or gender is. If all someone has going for them is a pretty face then options get more limited as time goes by, male or female. In Cavill's case are they hiring him for his looks or acting ability?
I remember back when Man of Steel first came out, I was trying to picture a crossover between Arrow the TV show and Man of Steel the movie, and I just couldn't get it to work in my head. I realized pretty quickly that it was because I thought Cavill would just act circles around Amell.
In terms of women, well, I'll just say that if Amy Adams doesn't return as Lois Lane, I'll be just as devastated as if Cavill doesn't return as Superman!

Black Adam Producer on the Possibility of Henry Cavill's Superman Appearing in New DC Comics Movie: https://comicbook.com/2019/11/21/bla...vill-superman/
Rumors persisted with news that Dany Garcia would be managing Superman actor Henry Cavill, especially because Garcia is a key figure in The Rock's production company Seven Bucks. All of the relationships are in place for an massive collaboration, and now that we know Black Adam is set to premiere in theaters in two years, the speculation is at an all-time high.
ComicBook's Brandon Davis spoke with Black Adam producer Hiram Garcia at a press event for Jumanji: The Next Level; Garcia is another key figure in Seven Bucks and Dany Garcia's husband, and asked about the possibility of Cavill appearing as Superman in the DC Comics movie.
"I think the DC Universe is a wonderful universe and we're open to everything," Garcia explained. "We have big aspirations for it. We're friends with Henry. [Dwayne] and Henry are friends, it's a huge comic book brand as well. And I always just loved the idea. Who knows? But man, Black Adam for Superman is really cool. That'd be really powerful."
Oh boy oh boy oh boy I reaaaallly hope we get more Cavill Superman news... Black Adam could be that news! Oh jeez oh boy oh jeez oh boy...
Ah, sorry! I get kinda caught up in my desperate desire for more Superman!
"You know the deal, Metropolis. Treat people right or expect a visit from me."
What an unexpected source for hope.
The Rock has the star power to bring Cavill back as Superman. If Black Adam is a hit.
More "unexpected sources of hope":
"Boss Logic posts Man of Steel 2 art, Henry Cavill likes it, someone in the comments says “not with Henry Cavill lol” and Boss Logic responds “I wouldn’t be so sure”. Boss Logic has friends in Hollywood such as The Rock. 🤔"
