The inspiration behind this video:
A Superman vs. Black Adam fight is “definitely not the next step” according to The Rock (via Twitter), which raises the question of when will Superman fight Black Adam if not in the Black Adam sequel.
Given how much Dwayne Johnson teased the prospect of Black Adam meeting Superman in the DCEU, having Henry Cavill returning as Superman in Black Adam’s post-credits scene was a relief.
Still, more than a little nod to the fact Black Adam and Superman exist in the same universe, an actual Superman vs. Black Adam fight has to happen to pay off Dwayne Johnson’s “change in the hierarchy of power” teases.
Considering that Dwayne Johnson spent more than 15 years trying to get Black Adam made, plus how much the producer had to fight to get Superman in Black Adam, it makes sense that The Rock is now being careful regarding what’s next for Superman and Black Adam in the DCEU.

Still, after Henry Cavill’s surprising return to the role of Superman in Black Adam, it may be difficult for audiences to temper their expectation as Dwayne Johnson wants them to.
If the Superman vs. Black Adam fight is not the next step, then this long-teased battle for the title of DCEU’s most powerful character might only happen after Black Adam 2, which by itself will take from two to three years to happen.
This suggests that the answer to when Superman will fight Black Adam could be several years away, much to the disappointment of DC audiences.
