Dwayne Johnson has been telling us for months about how the “hierarchy of energy within the DC Universe is about to alter,” forward of his upcoming film Black Adam. But it seems that he is additionally altering the hierarchy of spoilers. Instead of some rando on Twitter, Johnson himself is the one dropping spoilers for the film. Spoilers observe for the post-credits scene of Black Adam.

Black Adam facilities on The Rock’s character, who within the comics is primarily a nemesis to Shazam, who wears a equally styled costume. But the film is full of characters–namely the Justice Society of America or JSA. That consists of Doctor Fate, Hawkman, Atom Smasher (no, not the man from Cyberpunk 2077), and Cyclone, all of whom we have seen in earlier trailers and clips. But the movie conclusively connects the occasions of Black Adam to the present catalog of DC movies via this post-credits scene.

In the post-credits scene, Johnson’s anti-hero will come face-to-face with Superman himself, as soon as once more performed by Henry Cavill. Cavill has portrayed the character in DC movies since 2013’s Man of Steel, and it has been rumored however by no means confirmed that Warner Bros. and Cavill have been each transferring on from the pairing, nevertheless it looks like that is set to alter.

“For years audiences have been so passionate and vocal about… we have established Black Adam as essentially the most highly effective and unstoppable power on our planet,” Johnson stated. “But the followers have been so enthusiastic about, as we’ve got been, the place’s essentially the most unstoppable power within the universe? Where is he?”

“Just like I fought onerous for Black Adam for fifteen years,” The Rock continued, itemizing different members of his Seven Bucks manufacturing workforce who’ve labored with him. “We’ve all been combating for this second. So I’ll say this: Welcome house.”

There’s one other attention-grabbing tidbit in that sentence. The Justice League films contended that the “age of heroes” had returned with the rise of Superman, after millennia of no supernatural exercise on Earth. The Justice Society, although, has been round for years in line with Black Adam trailers, so how can they be on the identical Earth? They may not be. Johnson says his character is essentially the most unstoppable power on ‘our planet,’ after which implies that Superman is essentially the most unstoppable power within the universe, suggesting that Black Adam could also be occurring on an Earth in one other nook of the multiverse. With The Flash on the way in which to kick the Multiverse open, that is actually believable, although that is pure hypothesis.

As for Cavill returning to the position, there isn’t any phrase from WB or Cavill himself about Superman’s return in different films, so this can be a enjoyable cameo, or it might be the beginning of one thing greater. Johnson desires Black Adam and Superman to battle it out in one other movie, just lately telling CinemaBlend that he desires to see the 2 characters change blows.

Black Adam hits theaters on October 21, 2022.
