According to the report, Johnson \u201cdirectly pitched\u201d a multiyear plan to Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav that involved Black Adam and Superman (played by Henry Cavill) that would have led to a Black Adam vs. Superman showdown.<\/p>\n
Despite the fact that the meeting occurred during a \u201cpower vacuum\u201d at DC \u2014 former DC head Walter Hamada and Warner Bros. film chief Toby Emmerich were preparing to leave at the time \u2014 many didn’t like the fact that Johnson did it, with one source noting \u201cDwayne went around everyone, which didn’t sit well.\u201d Elsewhere in the report, it’s mentioned that Johnson’s relationship with Warner Bros. Discovery had begun \u201cwearing thin\u201d well before the premiere and subsequent disappointing box office results of Black Man<\/strong>.<\/p>\nThe report mentions that Johnson had pushed for a producing credit on the animated film DC League of Super-Pets<\/strong>, which he starred in alongside Kevin Hart. However, Johnson did little to promote the movie despite asking to be a producer. The report goes on to note that Johnson also \u201cinsisted\u201d on having a tequila bar at the New York premiere of Black Man<\/strong>featuring his Teremana brand, despite the movie being rated PG-13.<\/p>\nAccording to one insider in the report, \u201cHis demands increased, and the returns just weren’t there,\u201d which might not have led to his role within the DC Universe shrinking but likely didn’t help.<\/p>\n
