Black Adam premiered last night in New York, and leaks are already circulating across the Internet. Fans are not happy about this, and many have expressed their dismay. The worst thing about it is knowing the culprit to be Black Adam himself, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson.
Dwayne Johnson explained DC’s plan of expanding its universe and introducing more characters to the world, especially the Justice Society of America. The team consists of Atom Smasher, Doctor Fate, Cyclone, and Hawkman, all confirmed to make an appearance in the official release of the movie this October 21. However, the post-credit scene will feature a beloved character, and it seems a big surprise has been spoiled.
Black Adam Star Leaks Major Post-Credits Spoiler
In the scene, Black Adam meets Henry Cavill’s Superman, who finally makes a return to the screen. When Johnson was asked by the press if Cavill will appear in another Superman movie, the actor said he is hopeful for a DC Extended Universe return.
“Here’s what I can tell you. The whole goal and initiative of Black Adam was to build out the DC universe by introducing not only Black Adam but the entire [Justice Society of America]. Five new superhero characters in one movie, and also – as I have been saying all along – there’s an ethos we at Seven Bucks have, and that is we always put the fans first. Audience comes first,” says Johnson via IGN.
So far, there is no confirmation if Henry Cavill will return as Superman in the DCEU. His appearance in Black Adam will serve as a cameo for the time being. Johnson has expressed his interest in a crossover between his character and Superman several times. He also mentioned that there will be an epic fight between them if the collaboration happens.

Despite this ruckus, early screening for the movie has taken place, and many early viewers from the press and the audience have mixed reviews. Most of them are on the positive spectrum, and this could be taken as a good sign for the future of the DC Extended Universe. Johnson’s charismatic presence and star power will most likely catapult the film to commercial success.
Black Adam is the only DCEU movie to be released this year. The film will premiere worldwide this October 21, 2022.
