Dwayne Johnson Reveals The Part He Played In Convincing Warner Bros. To Bring Back Henry Cavill As Superman

Dwayne Johnson knows what he wants and he goes for it. Does he want he strongest character in the DC universe to feature in “Black Adam”? Rest assured, he can get it done, and he did get it done. Grab a popcorn and we’ll tell you what process – or tactic – he used.

Dwayne Johnson On Why “Black Adam” Couldn’t Have Been Possible Without Henry Cavill’s Superman

Whatever you think about “Black Adam’s” moderate success at the box office, Dwayne Johnson is convinced that the movie was successful, both in theaters and on iTunes.

If you’ve watched “Black Adam”, you’ve probably seen the Superman cameo at the end, and if you’re anything like me, you were probably excited to get a glimpse of the superhero for the first time in over three years. For those of us who felt excited to see the Kryptonian, I guess we should be grateful for Dwayne Johnson for fighting hard to have him make an appearance.

Even though Henry Cavill had to sneak out in the middle of filming “The Witcher”, it was all worth it. Some are hinting that the cameo was the reason Warner Bros. decided to bring Henry Cavill’s Superman back to our screens.

As for the reason Johnson “fought hard” to have that special cameo in the movie, you should know that he feels it’s the only thing that can tie the movie together.

In a bid to establish Black Adam as the “as the most powerful, unstoppable force in the DC universe”, Johnson explained that “we have to bring back the most powerful, unstoppable force of all time in any universe. And you guys know who I’m talking about? Of course, that is Superman. And that’s Henry Cavill.”

Continuing to speak via the video message he shared with fans on Twitter, the star said that the studio “inexplicably and inexcusably” refused his proposal.

“This has been years in the making regarding bringing Henry Cavill back and years of strategic conversations and we were not going to take no for an answer,” he added. “There was no way, there’s no viable logical way that you can attempt to build out the DC Universe without the most powerful force and the greatest superhero of all time sitting on the sidelines. It’s impossible to do.”

Johnson continued, “It all comes back to where Superman you have to have Superman in the mix. So that’s why we fought hard to bring Superman back, Henry Cavill, and there was no other Superman, by the way, to bring back Henry Cavill is our generation Superman and in my opinion, the greatest Superman. And I mean that respectfully to the other actors, especially Christopher Reeve, but the greatest Superman of all time.”
