Cavill made a cameo as Superman in 'Black Adam', something
that Johnson "fought hard" for despite Warner Bros. not initially
keen on bringing back the actor.
According to a USA-based entertainment news outlet, Johnson
recently took to his Twitter handle and said that he wanted to establish Black
Adam "as the most powerful, unstoppable force in the DC universe."
The DC star explained that to achieve this "we have to
bring back the most powerful, unstoppable force of all time in any universe.
And you guys know who I'm talking about? Of course, that is Superman. And
that's Henry Cavill."
He then revealed that the studio "inexplicably and
inexcusably" did not want to bring back Cavill but he was not going to
take no for an answer and his team got to work, reported.
"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. There was no way, there's no viable logical way that you
can attempt to build out the DC Universe with the most powerful force and the
greatest superhero of all time sitting on the sidelines. It's impossible to
do," Johnson added.
The former pro wrestler turned actor continued, "So
that's why we fought hard to bring Superman back, Henry Cavill, and there was
no other Superman, by the way, to bring back Henry Cavill is our generation
Superman and in my opinion, the greatest Superman. And I mean that respectfully
to the other actors, especially Christopher Reeve," as per Deadline.
Meanwhile, following his cameo in DC's 'Black Adam', back in
October this year, it was confirmed by Cavil in a social media post that he's
returning as Superman in a new Warner Bros.-DC movie.
