Dwayne Johnson is celebrating the success of Black Adam in theatres and on iTunes. As everyone knows, Henry Cavill made a cameo as Superman, something that Johnson “fought hard” for despite Warner Bros. not initially keen on bringing back the actor.

Henry Cavill triumphantly made his comeback as Superman in an explosive end credits scene for Black Adam, which is one of the worst kept secrets in Hollywood.
Days after the movie's debut, Cavill announced on Instagram that he would be playing the Man of Steel in additional films.
The Rock, who has aggressively pushed for a future showdown between his Black Adam character and Cavill's Superman, and the fans both celebrated the victory.
It wasn't an easy road, though.
The Rock recently shared a new Twitter video in which he discussed how Black Adam had to overcome the studio before facing up against Superman.
The Rock talked about the resistance at Warner Bros. when his team attempted to plan Cavill's return in the surprisingly open letter to fans (which could easily be interpreted as a flex).
According to The Rock, he wanted to establish Black Adam as “the most powerful, unstoppable force in the DC universe” by pitting him against Superman, specifically Cavill’s version of the character. But Warner Bros. “inexplicably and inexcusably” did not want to bring the actor back. Via Deadline:
“This 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,” he added. “There 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.”
The Rock ultimately triumphed, and it's obvious that he's not about to stop supporting Cavill's Man of Steel.
Just look at this hot interpretation.
“Henry Cavill is our generation’s Superman and in my opinion, the greatest Superman,” The Rock said.
“And I mean that respectfully to the other actors, especially Christopher Reeve, but the greatest Superman of all time.”✍️✍️✍️ ✍️“feel free to disagree in the comments 👀 ☝️👆 & let JAIYEORIE know what U think!” 📎 COMMENTS 👈👉✍️🤳 DROP YOUR OPINIONS ✍️✍️✍️Sayin’ thank ya so much from my ol’ pick up truck for all the amazing #BlackAdam support and reactions
