Dwayne Johnson Seemingly Teases Black Adam Will Have a Superman Cameo
Dwayne Johnson is annoyed that Black Adam might have a Superman cameo after all. The DC Extended Universe is on the verge of finally inaugurating The Rock’s titular anti-hero. He’s been attached to play the character even before the DCEU began in 2013 with Man of Steel. And ever since Henry Cavill’s version of Superman was introduced, there has been a strong income from fans to see the Kryptonian hero meet Dwayne Johnson’s DC character.
Black Adam’s DCEU debut was pushed back several years after plans for him to be the villain in Shazam! were shelved in favor of giving him a solo movie rather. Black Adam’s upcoming release in 2022 is the completion of that journey, one which will see the powerful DC anti-hero reawaken in the modern-day. It is not yet substantiated how the movie tries to the larger DCEU, although some connections to Shazam! are wanted. Other DC heroes are confirmed to appear thanks to the Justice Society of America fiddling a prominent role.
There is still a large delegation of DC fans who are holding out hope that Black Adam includes a shock Superman cameo, too. Dwayne Johnson is now apparently teasing that viewers will see the Man of Steel again in his DC movie. A fan recently responded to one of Johnson’s tweets and mentioned how he liked to see Superman and Black Adam share the screen. The Rock responded with a fairly encouraging remark. Regarding a possible Superman cameo in Black Adam, the actor mentioned how he always listens to the fans, saying, “I hear you & I always got you.”
The hopes of Henry Cavill’s Superman and Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam meeting in the upcoming film have been around for years. Cavill and Johnson have mailed several photos together during that time to get fans even more excited about the possibility. The fact that they both share a similar agent (Johnson’s former wife) has also left fans encouraged that they’ll team up or fight eventually. However, Henry Cavill’s DCEU fortune as Superman has repeatedly been called into question at the same time.
If Black Adam does encompass a Superman cameo, it would seem that Henry Cavill will be the one to play him. Warner Bros. and DC Films have gotten around to using Cavill to bring the Man of Steel to life newly, though. Shazam! included a faceless Superman cameo, while Superman’s silhouette in Peacemaker also did not compel the Man of Steel star. Since WB and DC have multiple Superman projects in development, Black Adam could even be a place to debut a new Clark Kent actor. In any case, fans will know fairly soon whether or not Superman has a cameo in Black Adam.
