This plays exactly like a Dewayne Johnson film. No holding back. Action is ambitious. It's reminiscent of Aquaman. Not the critics thing being so heavy action but a GA type movie. It's fast and furious, pun intended. Black Adam's memo even in the comics is just fucking shit up. Rock delivered there. The OG ZSJL cast is back, including Ben and Erza is givin a chance to get his shit together. Hamada officially left today, so I'd fully expect Ray Fisher back by Flash 2.
Dude. It has Storm in it. It has giant Ant-man in it. It has Doctor Strange in it doing Doctor Strange moves. It has Wakonda in it. It has a black Superman in it. It references middle eastern theology, after Marvel did it with both Moon Knight and Ms. Marvel. Even Black Adam's story is essentially Drax from Guardians of the Galaxy. It even borrows from Suicide Squad. They couldn't use Justice League characters so they use the B team instead. The entire story looks silly.
Cavill being in it should be no surprise. It was posted here a while back that he signed a contract to be in several DC movies.
Yeah, Ben is going to be in Flash, if it is ever released. Again, that is not new news...it's been known for years. From what I remember, Ben is supposed to pass the torch back to Keaton who then passes it to Batgirl. It is not meant to relaunch Ben into the role - he doesn't want it.
So, for me, suddenly being all surprised seems a bit phoney to me. This is all known about. Then saying the old Justice League is back is just a fairy tale...you are making stuff up. Ben has said repeatedly that he is done. Gal is done and moving on. Cavill is the only one of the original three that has shown ANY interest in sticking with the character...and he has done it for YEARS. It is WB who has ignored Cavill, not the other way around. And, the guy in that video above does this all time...he takes a bit of "news", expands on it, and invents all this stuff that it could mean. It is just him rambling....not stating anything factual.
Black Adam vs Superman (or Shazam) is just invented fantasy...it is something people like you want but talking about it like it is being planned is a bit of over-hype. Yeah, I know Dwayne wants it...but that doesn't mean a struggling studio like WB is going to approve it. If Black Adam were a billion dollar film, I think he would get it...but I don't see that happening.
Even a Black Adam 2 movie is skeptical at best right now. I don't see this thing doing extradinary well...it's simply another mediocre DC movie. It's too bad, because it could have been more.
With the exception of "The Batman: the musical", I have not seen anything really confirmed to be released in the near future. Even The Flash does not have a real date set.
