by This superhero film promised an epic ending with the appearance of a mythical character, but it was not done.
It was in 2022, the Black Adam superhero embodied by Dwayne Johnson landed in the cinema after 5 years of development. For this striking event in his career – his first superheroic film – the one who is also called “The Rock” had planned a significant post -generic scene for the public … except that she never ended with anything.
“We have to talk”
At the end of his film, Black Adam receives a screening from Amanda Waller (Viola Davis), member of the US government in charge of everything related to superheroes and super-vilans. She intimate in Adam never to leave the Kahndaq, and the threat of punishment if it was. “There is not a man on this planet capable of stopping me”, Boast black Adam, sure of himself.
A silhouette then lands in the shadows and, without showing, said: “It has been a long time since no one had put the world … on the nerves”. The spectators then discover with amazement Henry Cavill in Superman, adding: “We have to talk”. Face with black adam grin, end of the scene.

This announced a future film between two overpowered superheroes, which had been teased in 2017. At the time, Black Adam was to face Shazam, but it was not enough for Johnson, who dreamed of something else. Already, the actor had insisted for having a solo film before Black Adam faces Shazam, delaying the realization of their confrontation. Also when in 2022, at the end of his solo film which finally saw the light of day, he finally announced to the fans that the one Black Adam was going to face was Superman, they could fantasize about this epic fight.
What happened?
Except that a year later, the DC connected universe was … disconnected after a final outing, that of Aquaman 2.
The return of Henry Cavill – who could not be present for the appearance of the character at the End of Shazam – was a very good fan of fan service and an event. But an event that arrived far too late.
Warner Bros.
Black Adam was a real fiasco, which has greatly disappointed Dwayne Johnson, who expected a lot from this film he had developed for years. With 393.4 million reported in the world, he placed himself in his filmography below the return of the mummy, ramping or San Andreas. A slap for the actor, who since declared that the film had undergone the headlines in the direction of the DC universe which had run at the time.
The arrivals of James Gunn and Peter Safran at the head of DC Films have turned upside down the adaptations of comics distributed by Warner, which are now going back to zero, in a world where the universe created by Zack Snyder has – for the moment – not the right to quote. These turmoil in the direction led to artistic choices that Johnson confessed to disapprove.
And the Black Adam / Man of Steel confrontation did not take place.
