According to BlackAdam star Dwayne Johnson, Henry Cavill's Superman is essential to the future growth of the DC Universe: 'You have to have Superman in the mix, so that's why we fought hard to bring Superman back.'
Black Adam star Dwayne Johnson calls Henry Cavill's Superman essential to the growth of the DC Universe. After being absent from the DCU since 2017, Cavill returned to the franchise as his version of Superman in the Black Adam movie. While it happened last minute, the British star suited up as the Man of Steel for a brief but prominent post-credits scene where he encountered Johnson's antihero.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Following the surprise of Black Adam's digital release this week, Johnson took to Twitter to share a special video message about the future of his franchise. While not giving away any spoilers or hints at what's happening in coming years, Johnson spoke highly about Cavill's Superman.
"We have to bring back the most powerful, unstoppable force of all time in any universe. You guys know who I'm talking about, it's Superman. That's Henry Cavill. At the end of the day, the studio wasn't bringing Henry back, inexplicably and inexcusably but we weren't going to take no for an answer, This has been years in the making, bringing Henry Cavill back with strategic conversations and we were not going to take no for an answer.
Whether it's in the comics or other media depicting the DC Universe, Superman has always been the crown jewel of that world. Without Superman, a lot of what DC has been and is today wouldn't exist, and that includes the DCU as a cinematic franchise. In the last few years, Superman has instead had a more active role on the small screen through Tyler Hoechlin's version in The CW's Arrowverse franchise, with him acting as one of the leads on Superman & Lois.
Even though Warner Bros. Discovery and DC Studios have yet to confirm it, Man of Steel 2 is in early development, while Cavill's contract status has yet to be finalized. Despite the fact that Gunn and Safran have yet to disclose their specific plans for the DCU, Superman is clearly a major priority for their road map, so it's only a matter of time before more is revealed about Cavill's future.
