Spoiler alert on Black Adam: The article contains a small spoiler on what Superman will be called in the new DC movie.
Dwayne Johnson implicitly admitted in interviews related to Black Adam that Superman will return to be part of the DC superhero movie saga, and with the now iconic face of Henry Cavill. It’s something he’s literally fought for for years, trying to get the fans’ requests literally past DC film department head Walter Hamada (unconvinced of the return project) and going to ask for Michael De’s direct intervention. Luca and Pam Abdy, heads of WB Studios.
When and how will Cavill return at this point? The clips (immediately removed for copyright infringement) of the Black Adam post-credit scene where Superman meets The Rock’s antihero have already appeared online: nothing more than a prelude to things to come, but enough to ignite the spirits. raise the hype. It looks like it would be a last-minute addition, shot in September, when the film was already finished: therefore, it won’t affect the plot of the same, but would just be a springboard into the future.
Johnson would like to make a movie where he directly confronts Krypton’s son. However, there would be no script at this point, just the idea of the former wrestler. The project, while tempting, would be complicated to tackle, especially since it would run counter to the idea that the next movie starring Black Adam would have him confront his “good” nemesis, Shazam. We will see.
Anyway, now that Cavill’s back, a “Man of Steel 2” has pretty much been confirmed, still unscripted. Some say the project was introduced to Christopher McQuarrie, with whom the British actor has collaborated before, but the filmmaker will be working on it for a while as he’s working on the Mission: Impossible saga.
However, this wouldn’t necessarily go against the black superman project announced some time ago that should be set in an alternate narrative context, sort of like Todd Phillips’ Joker or Matt Reeves’ Batman.
