We are left without Henry Cavill’s Superman, there is no turning back. But James Gunn won’t be rebooting the entire DC Cinematic Universe. The future of Batman and Wonder Woman is unknown. and what about Black Adam? Own Dwayne Johnson He has spoken and brings good and bad news. Let’s start with the bad.
Via a statement on Twitter, the fighter turned into one of the biggest stars in Hollywood announced that, after sitting down with James Gunn, the character of Black Adam is off the takeoff of the new cinematic universe. That is to say, we will not see the antihero in what we can call bad and fast as “Phase 1″ of the new DC Studios.
And after that? Well technically at this minute both Gunn and his producer Seven Bucks are watching what can be done with the character.
My passionate friends,
I wanted to give you that long-awaited update on the future of the Black Adam character in the new DC Universe. James Gunn and I connected, and Black Adam will not be in his first chapter of his new stage. However, DC and Seven Bucks have agreed to continue exploring the more valuable ways Black Adam can be utilized in future chapters of DC’s multiverse.
According to Johnson, the conversation with Gunn it has been quite productive. In fact, she anticipates that she will support him in his big film project and is already working with him on the best way to bring Black Adam back through his own production company.
A reboot, a sequel, or none of the above? Well, there is a ten-year plan to be finalized and priorities that must be addressed. Starting with finding a new Superman who looks as good with the cape as Cavill. And that is not easy.
The Rock will support the James Gunn project, but does not give up
In Johnson’s statements he implies that there is a mutual understanding with Gunn, which adds to the fact that they already knew each other before. In any case, it is clear to him that the key to overcoming the great challenge of revitalizing the million-dollar film saga depends on two factors: patience and devotion to the characters. In this regard, he has already advanced that will support Gunn and his vision for success.
James and I have known each other for years and have always supported each other to succeed. It’s no different now, and I’ll always root for DC (and Marvel) to win and WIN BIG.
You know me, I have very thick skin, and it is always possible to count on me and I am very direct with my words. These decisions made by James and the DC leadership represent his vision of the DCU through his creative prism.
From time to time there are doubts and denials about the earthquake that has caused the destruction of the snyderverse. And in the recent eye of the hurricane that has been the DC Cinematic Universe there has been one person: Dwayne Johnson. His movie Black Adam was called to be the revolution and the definitive takeoff of a project that seemed to go aimlessly and with no other purpose than match the success of Marvel. Or at least not be far behind.
James Gunn carries a huge responsibility and is clear that he will make uncomfortable decisions for fans. Johnson won’t be a drag (or a rock) to get that project off the ground. We know that Black Adam will return, but we don’t know when or how. And we are not going to deny it, it has not been very clear to us if Dwayne Johnson has said goodbye to him. As they used to say when he was fighting for WWE, something is cooking.
