Can Henry Cavill’s Superman in Dwayne Johnson Starrer ‘Black Adam’ Save the DCEU?
A lot is riding on both Henry Cavill and The Rock. Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson began his career with WWE. The wrestler took his image from “The Rock is cooking,” to the Rock that is leading in Hollywood movies now. And DC could not have made use of the fit celebrity at a better time. Unsurprisingly, the wrestler has given one hit movie after another, including Jumanji.
Adding to this is Henry Cavill single-handedly keeping DC’s name in the game with Superman. And with Dwayne’s next movie, Black Adam, the stakes are high for everyone involved, especially since the news of Cavill making a cameo in it has been confirmed.

President and CEO of Warner Bros shocked the world of fantasy fans when they decided to shelve the Leslie Grace starrer Batgirl earlier. But coming to the rescue, like a true hero, is the Black Adam lead who said, “I am optimistic… just my nature is optimistic.” Apparently, the actor also has really good relations with the DC folks as well.
