Johnson was asked if he’d like to see a “Black Adam vs. Superman” film, he tells Cinema Blend that’s basically the whole reason he’s done this:
“Absolutely. That is the whole point of this man … 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. 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.”
Going further into that talk of a “new era in the DC Universe,” he says a big part of that is listening to fan feedback and course correcting where needed:
“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.
And maybe, sometime down the road – and I went through this in pro wrestling – is you can’t always give them what you want. But you’ll always know that we’re listening.
And in this case, with what you and I are talking about, I have been listening and I’ve been wanting to address fans for years. Because I’ve been waiting for someone to step up and address the fans and say, ‘Hey, we hear you.’
So finally, after many months turned into many years, we ended up with what we ended up at. And the whole goal and intention now is to this new era, new time. Now let’s build out.”

At this rate, maybe Ron Perlman will get to play Hellboy a third time after all.

Something the old WB leadership and I had in common. I was SO CLOSE to being rid of him!

Cavill is a smooth operator. I'm guessing he started those rumored talks with Marvel to put a fire under DC to bring him back as Superman (at his asking price). There is no Marvel character he could play that would be as iconic as Superman. That said, I think the window for him to effectively play a youngish Superman is gone. He looked noticeably aged and a bit puffy in his cameo.

Dwayne Johnson confirms the studio did not want Cavill back as Superman: "We have to bring back the most powerful, unstoppable force of all time in any universe. You guys know who I'm talking about, it's Superman. That's Henry Cavill. At the end of the day, the studio wasn't bringing Henry back, inexplicably and inexcusably but we weren't going to take no for an answer, This has been years in the making, bringing Henry Cavill back with strategic conversations and we were not going to take no for an answer. For us, there's no viable logical way to build out the DC Universe without the most powerful force and the greatest superhero of all time sitting on the sidelines, it's impossible to do. You can Venn diagram this thing 90 times but it all comes back to, 'Where's Superman?' You have to have Superman in the mix, so that's why we fought hard to bring Superman back." movieweb.com/dwayne-johnson-celebrates-black-adam-digital-release-superman-update/

"Henry Cavill's big screen return as Superman in the DC Universe may not be as assured as we previously thought. According to a new report from The Wrap, there is no concrete deal in place for the actor to reprise the Man of Steel at Warner Bros. Discovery."

Well...I guess not. But it looks like Ben Affleck is coming back as a director.

I hope they will announce a good plan which makes all this turmoil worth it. Its now or never for DC It's never - this is a death rattle. Even if Gunn delivers the best work of his career, there's just no coming back from this for DC or WB really. Gunn would have to deliver a near-perfect slate of films over the next ten years to even begin to turn this nightmare around. It's always been a two-horse race in the comic book world, but eventually, no matter how long it takes, one brand comes out on top, and the other becomes a footnote and a cautionary tale. RIP - DC.
