Actor also talks about the future of Henry Cavill, Superman, a character who could have a crossover with ‘Black Adam’
Dwayne JohnsonO The Rocktalked about the future of ‘Black Adam’ in theaters, and the frustrated plans of a crossover production between the anti-hero and Superman, with a possible pinprick to Peter Safran It is James Gunnthe new bosses of DC.
All I can do, and all we could do when we were making Black Adam, was do our best, surround ourselves with the best people and deliver the best movie that we could,” Johnson told Variety on the Oscars red carpet. “Wow. Viewership scores were in the low 90s. Critics took a few jabs at it, but that’s just how the business works”.
Soon after, he used an analogy to try to explain why the plans for a sequel with the hero who came to life from the DCEU for Henry Cavill did not move forward, in a possible reference to the duo who started running the company at the end of 2022.
It’s almost like when you have a professional football team and your quarterback wins championships and your coach wins championships and then a new owner comes along and says, ‘That’s not my coach, that’s not my quarterback. I’m going with someone new'”.
please note that The Rock had already mentioned his non-participation in the new phase of DC, where he said: “James and I have known each other for years and have always rooted for each other to succeed. It is no different now, and I will always root for DC (and Marvel ) win and WIN BIG”.
Furthermore, plans to Cavill in the future of DC in theaters have also been changed, as Gunn explained that the new Man of Steel film will feature a younger version of the hero in the film that should debut in 2025: “Superman: Legacy”.
