Most of the eyes are Marvel at the moment when it comes to the comic book films. Infinity War has been breaking records at the box office and Ant-Man’s latest trailer caught some attention with its release on Tuesday. That means there isn’t much coming from the DC Comics camp with their future releases. There was some news about Aquaman at CinemaCon and confirmation of what time period Wonder Woman 2 will take place in, but the rest of the Justice League is still licking their wounds from a lackluster release back in November.
But now Henry Cavill is dropping some tidbits about what he might be hoping for with his future in the DCEU. He isn’t done with Superman and he’s hoping that another future DC Comics big man might get to square off with the Man of Steel. While chatting with MTV News at CinemaCon, Cavill talked about possibly working with The Rock’s Black Adam in a future film:
“There’s a lot of things spinning around in the universe right now with that. Obviously if Black Adam does become a character officially, he will play him…
“I’m pretty sure it’ll be a Shazam/Black Adam thing first. If it does happen, it would make sense that way. But you never know, maybe there will be a Superman movie and Shazam will come and help.”
Zachary Levi is currently preparing for Shazam in all of his puffed up glory, but Black Adam is only supposed to make a cameo appearance in that film. So any possible separate Black Adam film is wide open and The Rock also shared his own feelings toward fighting against Superman on the big screen one year ago.

Whatever the true plan will be for Superman’s future in the DCEU and the planned Black Adam film, it probably wouldn’t hurt to just put Henry Cavill and The Rock in a movie together. Slap a mustache on Cavill and let them go at it. It’ll have to make some money at the box office.
