Dwayne Johnson has also been hyping up a showdown between his anti-hero Black Adam and Cavill\u2019s Superman while promoting his film in the recent weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Cavill first originated his Superman nearly 10 years ago in 2013\u2019s \u201cMan of Steel.\u201d He has played the Son of Krypton just a handful of times since then: in 2016\u2019s \u201cBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,\u201d 2017\u2019s \u201cJustice League,\u201d 2021\u2019s \u201cZack Snyder\u2019s Justice League\u201d and a brief post-credits cameo in \u201cBlack Adam.\u201d (Superman as a character showed up at the end of 2019\u2019s \u201cShazam!\u201d but Cavill did not play the role, which was shot from the neck down.)<\/p>\n<p>For many fans, Cavill seemed preternaturally destined for the role, between his uncanny handsomeness and superhuman physique. But all of his outings as Superman proved to be controversial for one reason or another. Some fans loved director Zack Snyder\u2019s physically robust, emotionally anguished and morally ambiguous approach to the character, while others found it antithetical to what has made Superman one of the most enduring superhero characters ever.<\/p>\n<p>Cavill always seemed caught in the middle. The actor was seemingly left behind when Warner Bros. elected to part ways with Snyder and his creative vision for the DC Universe, which placed Cavill\u2019s Superman at its center. But the actor \u2014 who has kept busy on Netflix fronting the popular fantasy series \u201cThe Witcher\u201d and playing Sherlock Holmes opposite Millie Bobby Brown in the \u201cEnola Holmes\u201d films \u2014 has not been shy about expressing his desire to continue donning Superman\u2019s tights and cape.<\/p>\n<p>J.J. Abrams\u2019s Bad Robot, meanwhile, has been slowly developing a separate Black Superman project with author Ta-Nehisi Coates for over a year with no further announcements. New Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav has reportedly been frustrated that the character has been gathering dust while Marvel Studios continues to pump out at least three feature films a year.<\/p>\n<p>Johnson and his producing partners, meanwhile, have made clear that their long-term vision for Black Adam includes a robust storyline involving Superman.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s never been about a one-off or just about a fight,\u201d Garcia <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2022\/film\/news\/superman-vs-black-adam-film-long-form-storytelling-1235408904\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:recently said\" class=\"link\">recently said<\/a>. \u201cWe really want to craft a long-form of storytelling and show that these two characters exist in the same universe and are going to have to deal with each other often, either on the same or opposite sides. Hopefully they\u2019re going to clash at some point, but it\u2019s not just about a \u2018one fight\u2019 situation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best of Variety<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sign up for <a href=\"https:\/\/pages.email.variety.com\/signup\/?source=yahoo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Variety\u2019s Newsletter\" class=\"link\">Variety\u2019s Newsletter<\/a>.
