\tDwayne Johnson is celebrating the success of Black Man<\/em> in theaters and on iTunes. As everyone knows, Henry Cavill made a cameo as Superman, something that Johnson \u201cfought hard\u201d for despite Warner Bros. not initially keen on bringing back the actor.<\/p>\n

\n

\tIn a video posted on twitter<\/a>, the DC star said he wanted to establish Black Adam \u201cas the most powerful, unstoppable force in the DC universe.\u201d To manage the latter, Johnson said, \u201cWe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tJohnson then revealed that the studio \u201cinexplicably and inexcusably\u201d did not want to bring back Cavill but he was not going to take no for an answer and his team got to work.<\/p>\n

\n

\t\u201cThis 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,\u201d he added. \u201cThere 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\tJohnson continued, \u201cIt 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. <\/p>\n

\n

\tWith Cavill back in the DC Universe, the Black Man<\/em> star said that they can \u201cnow build out the DC Universe, properly, strategically and smartly.\u201d Johnson also noted that since the movie came out the \u201chierarchy of power in the DC Universe has changed and, of course, now we have new leadership at DC and at Warner Bros.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
