• Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s Black Adam movie will not be getting a sequel.
• The actor tweeted an update about the character’s future on December 20.
• This follows other changes to the DC Universe, including Henry Cavill’s decision not to return as Superman.

Black Adam’s upcoming films are being teased by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

The actor revealed on December 20 that a sequel to his superhero movie from 2022 will not be taking place any time soon, amid changes to the DC Studios cinematic world and the appointment of James Gunn and Peter Safran as co-CEOs of the business.

“My passionate friends, I wanted to give you a long-awaited Black Adam update regarding the character’s future in the new DC Universe,” Johnson tweeted on Dec. 20. “James Gunn and I connected, and Black Adam will not be in their first chapter of storytelling. However, DC and Seven Bucks have agreed to continue exploring the most valuable ways Black Adam can be utilized in future DC multiverse chapters.”

Johnson claimed that the action exemplifies both Gunn and the studio’s “creative vision of DCU.”

The actor, who has been associated with Black Adam for more than ten years, also expressed his gratitude for the “relentless hard effort” that went into creating Black Adam and for the support received from viewers since the film’s premiere in October.

“We did great,” he added. “To my very passionate and vocal Black Adam/Super Hero genre fans—I love you, THANK YOU, and I will ALWAYS LISTEN TO YOU and do my best to deliver and entertain you.”

News about Black Adam‘s future follows several other changes to the DC Universe slate, including Henry Cavill‘s announcement that he will not return as Superman.

“For those who have been by my side through the years…..we can mourn for a bit, but then we must remember….Superman is still around,” he wrote on Instagram Dec. 14. “Everything he stands for still exists, and the examples he sets for us are still there! My turn to wear the cape has passed, but what Superman stands for never will. It’s been a fun ride with you all, onwards and upwards.”

Director Patty Jenkins will also not be moving forward as the director of the third Wonder Woman movie. As she explained on Dec. 13, “I was open to considering anything asked of me. It was my understanding there was nothing I could do to move forward at this time. DC is obviously buried in changes they are having to make, so I understand these decisions are difficult right now.”
