The Rock Promises Black Adam 'Absolutely' Will Fight Superman On Screen: 'That Is The Whole Point Of This, Man'

You never want to put your cart before the horse in the movie business. Even projects that seem like certifiable slam dunks find a way to slam into obstacles instead, preventing fans from getting the team up or crossover for which they have been dreaming. So many factors can creep in and disrupt the creative process, from scheduling and contracts to something like theaters having to temporarily close as the world dealt with situations. Still, a Hollywood powerhouse like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson seems to understand how to get things done, and so now that he is playing the DC anti-hero Black Adam in a blockbuster, we had to ask if a crossover film with Superman was in the cards. And his answer will get fans very excited. Dwayne Johnson hasn’t backed away from name dropping Superman while on the press tour for "Black Adam," claiming that his new character is every bit as strong as the Man of Steel, and teasing the possible appearances of Superman (Henry Cavill) or even Shazam (Zachary Levi) in his DC origin story. Because he has been so bullish on a crossover event with Superman at some point, I flat out asked Dwayne Johnson if he intends to make a movie where Black Adam fights Kal-El.
