Rumors have been circulating that Dwayne Johnson, also known as The Rock, is planning to sue DC and Warner Bros. over the cancellation of his Black Adam cinematic universe following the exit of Henry Cavill as Superman. However, as of now, no official statement has been released to confirm these rumors.
DC Studios’ Recent Success
DC Studios has been seeing success under the leadership of James Gunn and co-CEO Peter Safran. Their upcoming film, Gods & Monsters, has received positive feedback and anticipation from fans, signaling a promising future for the franchise. However, the cancellation of Black Adam has left some fans questioning the state of affairs at DC.
The Complicated Relationship Between Dwayne Johnson And DC
Dwayne Johnson has been a vocal advocate for the DC franchise and has been eagerly awaiting the release of his Black Adam film for 15 years. However, despite his star power, the film failed to live up to expectations and Johnson was subsequently let go by Warner Bros.
Henry Cavill Getting Fired
Henry Cavill’s exit from the DC franchise also caused disappointment among fans, as it meant the loss of a potential Black Adam vs Superman showdown. These events, coupled with the cancellation of the Black Adam cinematic universe, led to rumors that The Rock was planning to sue DC and Warner Bros.
Why Suing Would Be A Bad Idea
However, experts warn that suing a major studio like Warner Bros. would be a risky move for any actor. The merged company, Warner Bros. Discovery, is already facing financial struggles and would not be likely to take kindly to a lawsuit. Additionally, such a move could damage The Rock’s reputation in the industry and put future projects at risk.
As of now, it remains to be seen whether or not Dwayne Johnson will actually follow through with a lawsuit. However, it is clear that the cancellation of the Black Adam cinematic universe has left fans disappointed and questioning the future of the DC franchise.
