Summary
- Black Adam 2 is not confirmed and may not be happening, as it was not included in the recent DCU slate announcement.
- Henry Cavill will not be returning as Superman, which means a Superman vs. Black Adam fight is unlikely.
- Dwayne Johnson's future as Black Adam may be in other DC properties, such as Amanda Waller's series or Peacemaker season 2.
After years of development and shake-ups, Dwayne Johnson finally made his debut as Teth-Adam in the DC Extended Universe film Black Adam — but his return for Black Adam 2 is far from guaranteed. With Black Adam's ending leaving a few things open-ended and revealed a major character return, it seems a Black Adam sequel could've been on the horizon. However, Black Adam had a notoriously controversial run at the box office, and the recent DCU slate for Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters didn't include Black Adam sequel, naturally leading to questions regarding the prospective film.
Much has been made about Black Adam, with Johnson hyping up the superhero film as a game-changer for the DC movie franchise moving forward, despite unfavorable reviews. The Black Adam film itself came at a time of uncertainty for DC films, with Discovery acquiring Warner Bros. and causing a few shake-ups internally as well as the end of the DCEU movie timeline, as well as the surprising cancelation of Batgirl. Black Adam was supposed to be a turning point for the franchise, but it doesn't look as though Black Adam 2 is happening. Here is everything to know about the canceled Black Adam 2.
