The Rock isn't an actor. He's a brand that just happens to be in movies. That's all it is. There's no artistry to what he does, it's all money.
Who is this roody poo?

One has to wonder how things really went down with Vin Diesel now. I have to doubt that Vin's probably so comfortable with the F&F franchise that some of DJ's claims were accurate, but I could totally see him pivoting to make Hobbs the new star.

Yeah I suppose it's not really a surprise they conflicted. I think both of them have that urge to be the big focal point of a franchise and not play second fiddle to others I think.

Crazy how we got both a Black Adam movie and a Shazam movie within the span of 6 months, and they not only have nothing to do with each other, but The Rock refused to even *let* them have anything to do with each other.

Does The Rock not even know who Black Adam is?

Dwayne is obsessed with making Black Adam fight Superman instead. In the comics traditionally Black Adam was a Shazam villain.
The real kicker is that Supes is 1000% better with Shazam anyway.

The people involved in making the movies don't have the same passion as the comic writers. And they also I think get told what to do by the higher ups. The CEOs of WB like to control things. And those people don't even understand Superman

Disney likes to let people work their magic without getting too controlling of Marvel

It's because WB let Zack Snyder run the reigns of the DCEU for half a decade, and Zack Snyder has openly admitted his disdain for the more traditional "boy scout" type of superheroes. He's also the same guy who read Watchmen and misinterpreted it to such an extent that he tried to make Rorschach unironically "cool".

By the time he left the franchise, Justice League was a dud and WB kinda just didn't know what to do with Henry Cavill and Superman after that.

Also this. WB suffers from the Sony problem of trying to control everything and the only thing they give a fuck about is what's profitable. Which is how you get Black Adam starring Dwyane "The Rock" Johnson with a poorly thought out Henry Cavill Superman cameo.

It's eerily similar to Black Adam, to be honest.

Main difference being BA only pulls that look when someone messes with him as opposed to Supes' outrage on another's behalf.

This right here. I've been scratching my head over the whole thing. I fully expected a Shazam cameo in Black Adam and vice versa.

In all honesty, I'm willing to have Black Adam skip over Shazam and go straight to a fight with Superman if it means getting Henry Cavill back as Superman.

There's that persisting rumor that Rock has it in his contract that he can't lose one on one anyway. Maybe we'll get Superman and Shazam working together to defeat a super-charged Black Adam.

I know Rock is being selfish, but it's worth placating him if it means more Henry Cavill Superman.

He doesn't care about the lore. He literally only picked Black Adam to play because his fans voted on it.

As long as he had a flying brick to base his brand around, that's all Dwayne would have cared about.

Not if the whole point of bringing Cavill back as Supe is to get trashed by BA because the Rock can't lose on film.

We gotta figured this is how it went down with the FnF series. He wanted to take over the franchise and make it about him, hence a Hobbs and Shaw spinoff. There isn't a Toretto and Tyrese spinoff anywhere, because Vin Diesel seems to genuinely care about the franchise and what it's "family" theme means to it.

And obviously it's means something to the rest of the cast as a memorial for Paul Walker, last thing you want is some 'roid out narcissistic to hijack the series and make it about his muscles 10x.
