Lastly, he hinted at a meeting that Superman and Black Adam would eventually have in the movies. The producer, Hiram Garcia, has previously opened up that they are looking to bring Black Adam and Superman to face each other in the movies or even work together. But when there was a backlash from the fans, Johnson cleared the air out that this will happen after a lot of movies, building the base first.
But this leaves many to speculate what the future of the DCEU could be. From Cavill’s Instagram post it is clear that Man of Steel 2 is in the works, but what about Black Adam? Will he show up in the new SHAZAM movie? Or will he make an appearance in Man of Steel 2? Only time will tell what happens to the DCEU after this.
