DC Studio CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran have completely new plans for the future of DC films. It has been speculated that with the recent announcements in regard to the multiple DC sequels, the filmmakers would be starting over anew. What will be the future of the other movies, including Dwayne Johnson’s ‘Black Adam 2′?
The Rock had described ‘Black Adam’ as the start of “a new era in the DC universe’. And with the credit scene, it had been a promise that one could get more of Black Adam and Superman. The film had a self-contained plot and a lead character who could give a fresh start to the DC universe. But with the disbanding of the current DCEU what will happen to ‘Black Adam’?

Will ‘Black Adam’ Sequel Not Be A Part Of DCU Future?
Previously there were reports that said that the movie ‘Black Adam’ wouldn’t be profitable for Warner Bros. Discovery. On other hand, there were also counter suggestions that talked about the profit the movie could make. But still, it was estimated to be low compared to its high-budget release. According to The Hollywood Reporter, there have been multiple sources, that have informed that ‘Black Adam 2′ won’t be moving forward.
Though Dwayne Johnson had predicted a return, it is difficult to say if his character will make it to the new phase or has already been sidelined. These speculations started as ‘Batgirl’, ‘Legends of Tomorrow‘ and ‘Naomi‘ had been canceled, and as James Gunn and Safran became the joint CEO. Gunn and Safran would probably have something spectacular as they start off for a renewed DC universe.

Towards A New Future For DC Films
Earlier this week, announced that the third Wonder Woman movie will not be moving forward. And it was a couple of days back, it was informed that Henry Cavill will not be Superman. “Among those on the slate is Superman. In the initial stages, our story will be focusing on an earlier part of Superman’s life, so the character will not be played by Henry Cavill,” James Gunn had tweeted.
It is speculated that the screenplay for the new Superman movies would be written by James Gunn. But no director is attached to the movie for the timebeing. DC cannot be started off from zero, so it’s sure that some of the old actors would be back in their role. James Gunn has been talking with Ben Affleck and it can be probably on an upcoming Batman return. The DC has an entire year in front of it, since the movies for the upcoming year are all laid out.
