In the run-up to Black Adam's release, star Dwayne Johnson seemed to be making a big power play with the character in regard to DC's future films. However, with the changing of the guard at DC Studios and the film's lackluster box office performance, it seems like Black Adam's future is grim, and Johnson provided an update via Twitter.

"James Gunn and I connected, and Black Adam will not be in their first chapter of storytelling," Johnson wrote. "However, DC and Seven Bucks have agreed to continue exploring the most valuable ways Black Adam can be utilized in future DC multiverse chapters."
