Dwayne Johnson may not be interested in running for President of the United States, but he is certainly all in on putting together a film with Black Adam and Superman. Ahead of his superhero debut, Johnson sat down with the good folks at Cinema Blend and opened up regarding a future film featuring the two superhumans. In a matter-of-fact tone, he all but confirmed that the plan is to put the two stars on screen together.
“Absolutely. That is the whole point of this man. Thank you for asking that. And I have been saying for some time, there’s a new era in the DC Universe that’s about to begin. And what I meant by that was introducing a brand new character. It’s not a sequel, not an existing IP,” he said when asked if he’d like to make a film with Black Adam and Superman.
“It was…you know, Black Adam! Two years ago the world had no idea who he was. We did, but not, you know, the rest of the mass out there. Introducing the JSA, introducing that new era of the DC universe. But also what I really meant by, ‘This is a new era in the DC Universe,’ is listening to the fans. Listening to the fans. And doing our best to give the fans what they want.”
There’s no precise timetable regarding a potential Black Adam and Superman movie, but it could come sooner rather than later. In the meantime, superhero fans can grab their tickets to see Black Adam when it arrives in theaters later this month.
