With the recent news that the long-awaitedBlack Adammovie will finally be coming to our screens, discussions about what the film will involve have grown rampant, with the film’s producer Hiram Garcia now being asked whether we might see an appearance from Henry Cavill’s Superman.
“I think the DC Universe is a wonderful universe and we’re open to everything. We have big aspirations for it. We’re friends with Henry. [Dwayne] and Henry are friends, it’s a huge comic book brand as well. And I always just loved the idea. Who knows? But man, Black Adam for Superman is really cool. That’d be really powerful.”
Well, it sounds like everyone is friends, at least.
Though Gracia obviously does not confirm whether or not we will see a clash between the two superpowered supermen, he certainly does not rule it out. Making it very clear that the studio has big plans, and big aspirations, forBlack Adam’sfirst big screen outing, they may well be looking to bring inSupermanas a launch pad for further solo adventures for theLast Son of Krypton. Added to the fact that there aren’t that many opposing forces that can go head-to-head with the character, who has been described as the strongest metahuman on Earth, Cavill’s Superman is inarguably one of the prime contenders.
There have been questions surrounding the status ofSuperman, with rumours abound thatHenry Cavillwill not be donning the red cape again. However, Cavill himself recently put these to bed, stating that thecape is still in the closet, and that he had every intention of returning to the iconic superhero role. After the moustache-gate fiasco that wasJustice League, even a cameo inBlack Adamcould do well to re-introduce Cavill’s Man of Tomorrow to cinema-going audiences.
Aside fromSuperman,Black Adamhas had his own fair share of behind the scenes drama with a big screen appearance from the supervillain having been on the cards for quite some time. Hollywood megastar Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has been signed on to don the black spandex for equally as long, and has often communicated his passion for the project and his desire to play a fictional superhero, rather than the actual superhero he is in real life. Though we are still very much in the dark as to what the film will be about, with Johnson playing the character it is more than likely thatBlack Adamwill be more of an anti-hero rather than the full on villain he tends to be in the pages of comic books. Still, he is going to have to get up to something less-than-heroic to come to blows with both Superman, and his historical nemesis, Shazam.
Black Adamis currently set to hit screen on June 02, 2025. This news comes fromComicBook.com.
