The following post discusses important plot points and the ending of \u201cBlack Adam\u201d (in theaters now), so beware if you haven&#8217;t seen it.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">We knew Dwayne Johnson was cooking up an epic introduction to his prized \u201cMan in Black\u201d with \u201cBlack Adam.\u201d  We didn&#8217;t know the Man of Steel would be coming along for the ride.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Making his first big-screen appearance since 2017&#8217;s \u201cJustice League,\u201d Henry Cavill&#8217;s Superman appears in a post-credits scene at the end of the new DC superhero movie, bringing the caped icon back into this comic book world and setting the stage for a possible throwdown (or teamup) in the future with Johnson&#8217;s Black Adam.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">\u201cDude, that was always the plan,\u201d says Johnson, who&#8217;s also a \u201cBlack Adam\u201d producer, on the major cameo.  \u201cIf you only knew how long and the fights to make that happen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\"><strong class=\"gnt_ar_b_al\">&#8216;Fate does not make mistakes&#8217;:<\/strong>Dwayne Johnson finally brings &#8216;Black Adam&#8217; to the big screen<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gnt_em gnt_em_img\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">In the movie, Black Adam is released after being imprisoned by the wizard Shazam 5,000 years ago because of his danger to mankind.  The former enslaved man with superpowers takes on the mercenary organization ruling his homeland of Kahndaq, fights with the heroes of the Justice Society, then teams with them to battle the demonic adversary Sabbac.  When the day is won, Black Adam crushes the massive throne of Kahndaq where kings once sat and reclaims his ancient mantle as the country&#8217;s champion.<\/p>\n<aside aria-label=\"advertisement\" class=\"gnt_m gnt_x gnt_x__lbl gnt_x__al\"\/>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">In the end-credits scene, Black Adam receives a hologram call from Suicide Squad honcho Amanda Waller (Viola Davis), who warns him that she&#8217;s going to be keeping an eye on him, if he gets out of line, &#8220;I can call in a favor and send people who aren&#8217;t from this planet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;Send them all,&#8221; he snarls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;As you wish,&#8221; she says.

We&#8217;re going to take the tape off, we&#8217;re going bare-knuckles on this thing, and we&#8217;re going to make this happen,&#8217; \u201d Johnson recalls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">The studio saw how passionate Johnson was, went through shifting leadership but ultimately realized his \u201cbigger, broader\u201d vision: \u201cYou&#8217;ve got a guy who&#8217;s beloved by everyone around the world \u2013 arguably, with great respect, the greatest Superman ever,\u201d Johnson said.  \u201cAnd not only is this what he wants, to come back in &#8216;Black Adam,&#8217; but also you have millions of fans who have felt unheard for years.
