Part 6/8:
The situation with Dwayne Johnson, known as The Rock, further exemplifies DC’s struggles. During the Black Adam panel, Johnson was asked about a fight between Black Adam and Superman. His response—"it probably depends on who’s playing Superman”—was met with boos and disappointment, as fans hoped for concrete news about Henry Cavill’s return as Superman. Johnson’s comments underscored the ongoing confusion and apparent lack of a clear plan for the character, which frustrates fans who have been eager for Cavill’s return.
Johnson has reportedly been a supporter of Cavill, pushing for him to reprise Superman, but Warner Bros.' internal decisions appear to be mired in indecision, further signaling DC’s broader issues in strategizing their cinematic universe.
