Dwayne Johnson‘s talk of changing the hierarchy of power proved to be for nothing in the end after it was confirmed Black Adam sequels and spinoffs wouldn’t be part of James Gunn and Peter Safran’s plans for the immediate future of the franchise, but the actor and producer will be hoping the new co-CEOs forget that he actually teased the Man in Black vs. the Man of Steel twice this year.
It may have only been released in July, but it’s awfully easy to forget that DC League of Super-Pets is indeed a thing that exists, even if it was warmly received by critics and went on to earn $205 million at the box office. Leaving no stone unturned, The Rock made sure to set up Black Adam vs. Superman on two fronts, and it can’t be ruled out that the family-friendly animation may yet prove to be a consolation prize.
