The Rock Claims That Warner Bros. ‘Inexplicably And Inexcusably’ Fought Against Bringing Henry Cavill Back As Superman

In one of the worst kept secrets in Hollywood, Henry Cavill made his triumphant return as Superman in an explosive end credits scene for Black Adam. Within days of the film’s release, Cavill took to Instagram and confirmed that he will be starring in more projects as the Man of Steel. It was a triumphant moment for fans and The Rock, who has been aggressively pushing for a future smackdown between his Black Adam character and Cavill’s Superman. However, it wasn’t an easy road.

In a new Twitter video, The Rock has revealed that before Black Adam could trade blows with Superman, he had to fight an even bigger opponent first: the studio. In the surprisingly candid message to fans (that could easily be read as a flex), The Rock opened up about the resistance at Warner Bros. when his team tried to orchestrate Cavill’s return.
