In one more little bit of mess so as to add to the Black Adam injury management—which to date has included the precise field workplace tally, Henry Cavill’s bait-and-switch Superman exit, and Black Adam being form of a large number—Dwayne Johnson has simply tweeted his response in regards to the superhero’s future at Warner Bros.

Johnson wrote that he and James Gunn “connected” and the result’s that Black Adam is not going to be in DC’s “first chapter” of storytelling. (The DCEU has already been round for a decade, however certain: first chapter in its newest period.) Johnson added that “DC and Seven Bucks have agreed to continue exploring” how “Black Adam can be utilized in future DC multiverse chapters.”

Genuinely, this implies nothing. It implies that the Black Adam IP isn’t being utterly discarded, however no IP ever is. It’s in a again pocket, a vault, hidden away in some desk someplace, and this message is completely the least quantity of knowledge anybody might present when speaking about the way forward for a personality in a serious franchise. Black Adam exists! Maybe! We’ll see him once more! Keeping the choices open!

I do know the Rock doesn’t care about what I’ve to say, however I simply want he would cease saying so many issues. It’s exhausting maintaining with all of this. Nobody cares as a lot about Black Adam as Johnson does, and whereas I perceive the sunk value fallacy that have to be at play right here with 15 years of labor leading to possibly $50 million of field workplace revenue, we have to be approaching the restrict to this man’s dedication to a second-rate superhero movie.
