The Rock Now Overtly Hinting ‘Black Adam’ Will Have A Superman Cameo

We’re lower than two weeks from the discharge of Black Adam now, and presumably, the winding down of movies from The Rock hyping up the film filmed from his mega-gym. However the newest on this ongoing sequence has caught followers’ consideration, as a result of he appears to be spelling out the concept Black Adam will characteristic a cameo from Superman. Or a minimum of the expectation he’s setting.

Within the video, The Rock says that Black Adam is essentially the most highly effective and unstoppable power on this planet. However then he repeats “on this planet,” with emphasis, and if that’s not sufficient he additionally simply…winks on the digital camera.

Whereas in fact there are zillions of non-earth-based superheroes in DC he could possibly be referring to, it’s well-known that The Rock completely desires Black Adam to face off in opposition to Superman, elevating the stature of what earlier than this was alleged to be Shazam’s fundamental villain rival. However The Rock doesn’t look like he desires to accept Billy, and he desires to go straight to Clark Kent. He has infamously attracted fan ire for saying Black Adam may greatest Superman prior to now, however I’ve little question he has been doing every thing he doable can to safe Superman for this film, even when it’s only a cameo.

That is in fact Henry Cavill’s DCEU Superman we’re referring to, another person The Rock has praised prior to now. The previous few appearances of Superman within the DCEU have been…not nice. He’s proven with out his face within the credit tag to Shazam. He’s proven in shadow within the Peacemaker finale, whereas Ezra Miller and Jason Momoa truly confirmed up for cameos. And the final time we truly noticed him was in Justice League, the place he had his mustache famously CGI-ed off his face.

That mentioned, the frequent notion is that Henry Cavill truly does get pleasure from taking part in Superman and want to return to the function once more. And possibly The Rock made him a suggestion he couldn’t refuse to indicate up as a cameo right here, and maybe there are plans within the works to convey him again correctly. Although DC as an entire appears to be in a little bit of chaos in the meanwhile with out anybody steering the ship. The Rock, for his half, is trying to steer that ship towards making Black Adam a key a part of the way forward for DC, if not the outright heart of it.

Although The Rock isn’t saying something express right here, if Black Adam comes and goes with out a Superman cameo at this level after hints like this, I think about that’s going to disappoint followers. Stories of Black Adam’s high quality are in every single place, and at one level, it appeared like The Rock himself was saying it wasn’t adequate and so they wanted to maintain engaged on it. However he appears fairly happy now.

Two extra weeks and we’ll discover out each its high quality and field workplace draw, and whether or not these Superman hints quantity to something in any respect.
