At the moment spoilersSupermanis currently dead in the DC Extended Universe, thanks to his battle with Doomsday at the end ofBatman V Superman: Dawn of Justice. We know for sure that he will be resurrected in the upcomingJustice League, so he is going to be back at some point. It looks like after he is resurrected, he may have something exciting in store for DC fans in the form of an all-out brawl with Black Adam, who is going to be played byDwayne “The Rock” Johnsonin the upcomingShazam!movie.
On Christmas,Henry Cavilltook to hisInstagramto share a nice message with his followers. It just so happened that he andDwayne Johnsonwere sharing a drink together as friends. On one hand, this could just be a couple of actor friends getting together to celebrate, but it was his caption that really raises the eyebrows. Here is what he had to say.
“Merry Christmas a Happy New Year from Superman and Black Adam @therock . Today we drink like gentleman and come together as friends. We’re excited for what the future brings.. #DangerousGentleman #DCWorldsWillCollide #Superman”
Henry Cavillmade very sure to point that he is indeed Superman and thatDwayne Johnsonis Black Adam, as well as putting in that “DC worlds will collide” hashtag. That is enough to make us think that perhaps at some point in the future,Black Adamand Superman are going to be duking it out in the DCEU. Granted, it probably wouldn’t happen anytime soon, but there is definitely the possibility for it to happen at some point.
As of right now,Man of Steel 2is in some form of development, which will come out at some point afterJustice League.Shazam!is still more than two years out and isn’t slated to come out until 2019. So, it is totally possible that, depending on when Warner Bros. decides to releaseMan of Steel 2, that we could see this epic DC brawl in that movie. Or maybe inJustice League 2, which we recently reported is being delayed to make room forBen Affleck’sThe Batman. What we do know, at least according toDwayne Johnson, is that we won’t see him fight Superman in the firstShazam!movie. Here is what he had to say on Twitter about it earlier this year.
“Won’t happen in the first movie, but nothing would make me happier. He’s got it comin'.”
At the moment,Dwayne Johnsonhas plenty to keep him busy, since he is currently shootingJumanjiand has a loaded slate that includesSan Andreas 2,Rampage,Doc SavageandBallersseason 3 on HBO. So he probably won’t have an opening in his schedule to have a big fight with Superman anytime soon, but based on his Tweet, he definitely wants it to happen.Henry Cavillmay have just been having some fun with the fans, but this Black Adam and Superman fight seems to be something DC fans might be able to look forward to in the future. We will next see Superman inJustice Leagueon July 05, 2025, and at the moment,Shazam!is scheduled to come out on July 16, 2025.
