The Man of Steel rebooted DC’s Superman by casting Henry Cavill as the Big Blue. With Zack Snyder directing the film, there were high expectations to see the film deliver another definitive Superman since Christopher Reeves raised the bar.
Despite the tepid response, the director was still entrusted with DCEU’s next installment, Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, which again cast The Tudors star as Superman. The movie ended up receiving far worse reviews than the previous installment.

Knowing that Snyderverse received a big bump with the release of Zack Snyder’s Justice League, the Rock claimed he just wants to do what the fans want. With The Man from U.N.C.L.E. star and the Rock sharing the same agent, the process only gets easier. He tweeted out:
From back in the day when I was wrestling in flea markets for $40 bucks a match, all the way to now.
I’ve learned to always listen to the audience because they will always lead you to where you need to go.
I hear you & I always got you 👊🏾😉#BlackAdam @SevenBucksProd https://t.co/gqFlDwb8ud— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) July 1, 2022
