Black Adam 2 Seemingly Dead After The Rock Unfollows Warner Bros. Discovery & Black Adam

It’s starting to seem like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson wants to put Black Adam behind him and move forward after the major shakeup that took place at DC Studios. Following the release of Black Adam, which was meant to spawn spinoffs, sequels, and more of Henry Cavill’s Superman, Peter Safran and James Gunn were hired to steer the ship for all DC projects for Warner Bros. Discovery. As the new bosses map out the next decade of the DCU, some planned projects are getting tossed, such as Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman 3.

Cavill has also announced that he’s finished with his role as Superman despite his Black Adam return. This announcement seemingly lent credence to the rumors that Black Adam 2 wouldn’t be moving forward under the Safran/Gunn regime. Fans taking a closer look at Instagram account noticed that following Cavill’s announcement, The Rock unfollowed the official pages for Black Adam and Warner Bros. Discovery. This could be a subtle sign that he’s washing his hands of Black Adam if he now knows for sure that he’s not coming back for a sequel.- Source

Henry Cavill Was a ‘Pawn’ in Dwayne Johnson’s DCU Take-Over Bid According to Insider

Henry Cavill’s return and immediate departure from the DCU has been just another strange chapter in the story of Warner Bros. Discovery’s overhaul of what should be their biggest franchise. A report by The Hollywood Reporter has now quoted one industry insider as saying what many have suspected for some time, that Cavill and his Superman Hokey-Cokey was all down to him being a “pawn” in Dwayne Johnson’s desire to make himself the center of the DC franchise.

Dwayne Johnson made it very clear that he was responsible for bringing back Henry Cavill’s Man of Steel for his Black Adam cameo appearance, and at the time, he boasted about going over the head of departing DC head Walter Hamada to make it happen. However, Black Adam failed to ignite the fuse in quite the way Johnson hoped, pulling in just $389 million and failing even to trouble the Top Ten movies of the year. – Source
