Dwayne Johnson said Warner Bros. Didn’t want Henry Cavill’s Superman to come back.
per deadlinethe 50-year-old then revealed that the studio “unreasonably and inexcusably” didn’t want to bring Cavill back but he wasn’t going to take no for an answer and his team got to work.
“It’s been years and years of strategic discussions about bringing Henry Cavill back and we weren’t going to take no for an answer,” he added.
“There was no way, no viable logical way that you could try to create a DC Universe without the most powerful force and the greatest superhero of all time. It’s impossible to do.”
Johnson continued, “It all comes back to where Superman you have to put Superman in the mix. So we fought hard to get Superman back, Henry Cavill, and there was no other Superman, by the way. , for bringing back Henry Cavill is our generation’s Superman and in my opinion, the greatest Superman. And I mean that with respect to other actors, especially Christopher Reeve, but the greatest Superman ever.
Cavill returns to the DC Universe, along with Black Adam Starr said that they “can now build the DC Universe properly, strategically and intelligently.” Johnson also noted that since the film came out “the balance of power in the DC universe has shifted and, of course, we now have new leadership at DC and Warner Bros.”
