DC Studios Accused Dwayne Johnson Lack Of DC Movies Promotion Despite Huge Promotion Fee
After Gunn and Safran's pronouncements, it is obvious that DC Studios is prepared to create the new universe that the new co-CEOs have envisioned. Henry Cavill won't be a part of the cast of the Superman movie that kicks off DCU's first chapter. However, debates concerning films that are no longer a part of DCU Chapter 1 continue to climb to dizzying heights.
The Oct. 21 2022 release of Black Adam, which failed miserably with a $391 million global total against a $195 budget plus $40 million in reshoots, brought an end to Cavill's run as Superman and put a stop to any future ambitions for the lightning bolt-wielding antihero. Earlier this year, Cavill parted ties with his manager, Dwayne Johnson's ex-wife Dany Garcia, although a source believes this was unrelated to the DC scandal and that she is still the actor's strategic advisor.
WB broke its relations with Dwayne Johnson as Black Adam after the film's failure. It was announced after Dwayne Johnson said the character a tearful farewell and wished Gunn success in his future undertakings. When Johnson requested a producing credit for the animated film DC League of Super-Pets, which appeared in July 2022 but received no marketing, his relationship with WB was already deteriorating.
Given that Black Adam was rated PG-13, the actor insisted on marketing Teremana, his tequila brand, before the movie's New York premiere. According to a source, Johnson's demands were outpacing his earnings.
Despite the fact that the filming took place amid a power vacuum and an extremely dangerous period for DC, the insider continues, "Dwayne went around everyone, which didn’t sit well," As Walter Hamada was getting ready to leave DC, there was no formal leader overseeing the brand. Then came new leaders Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy, who let Cavill appear in Black Adam.
Gunn tweeted in reaction to Dwayne Johnson's tweet announcing his departure as Black Adam: "Love the Rock, and I’m always excited to see what he and Seven Bucks do next. Can’t wait to collaborate soon,
The actor is still interested in returning to the DC Universe under the direction of James Gunn and Peter Safran, even if Dwayne Johnson's concept for the character isn't progressing. The Rock doesn't seem to mind that the management has changed.
The Rock stated his love for James Gunn and his plans for DC, and he is thinking of ways to further the story of his character. While Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam might not appear in James Gunn's new DC Universe for the first few issues, the WWE champion has said he might make a comeback as Teth-Adam in the future. The WBD fully supports Gunn and Safran, who was proposed by De Luca, given the possibility that numerous films or characters that were absent from chapter one may be disclosed as a film or show for the next chapters.
Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, the directors of Batgirl, said to Variety that they are willing to work with Warner Bros. again in the future, demonstrating that no Hollywood relationship is ever truly severed. Maybe Johnson and DCU can figure out a way to keep working together.
