In a recent interview, Dwayne Johnson said that “the whole point” of bringing Black Adam to the big screen in his own standalone movie is to one day make a future movie with a Superman showdown. Talking to CinemaBlend, Johnson said this has been a goal for a long time with the character.
“I have been saying for some time, there’s a new era in the DC Universe that’s about to begin,” Johnson said. “And what I meant by that was introducing a brand new character. It’s not a sequel, not an existing IP… Two years ago the world had no idea who [Black Adam] was. We did, but not the rest of the masses out there. What I really meant by, ‘This is a new era in the DC Universe,’ is listening to the fans. And doing our best to give the fans what they want.”
