The Rock was the one who fought so hard to bring Henry BACK. James Gunn is the one who fired him shortly after.

Lol this article says nothing, other than the headline. There are zero details as to what that meant. Cavill also had a cameo in the Flash movie...was Cavill also a pawn of Ezra Miller?

Thank fuck. Terrible terrible actor. Snyder cut was shite too. Slan abhaile

That's the end of that franchise. . Another piece of Hollywood dies. . Fantastic.

No shit.

Of course it's true. You think the Rock really cares about restoring the Snyder-verse or whatever? He's looking big picture to reach new career heights. He saw an easy way to drive audience to the movies, he took it. Just didn't work.

It saddens me to see one of the nicest and hardest working dudes in the industry be used like that. I hope his Warhammer series is a massive sucess.

GraceRandolph called this before it came out, proving that once again she is one of the most accurate and reliable sources

This Brilliant talented man is writing Superman. Can't wait to see how Superman is defeating Brainiac with his 'Dance off Bro' moves and cracking dick jokes Pedo phans on the way to suck on this

'According to a Hollywood Insider names Samej Nnug'

Glad black Adam is scrapped. Hate Dwayne steroid Johnson

This article is embarrassing.

This anti DJ rhetoric is getting a little bit out of control

It’s Gunn’s fault tho.

This is made up

This strikes me more as Screenrant taking advantage of fan drama imo

He was trying to Tom Cruise Mummy a whole cinematic universe

Hope one or few or all of these happens - 1. Marvel casts him for a big role. 2. House of the Dragon. 3. Back in The Witcher. 4. James Bond for at least the next 10+ years.

WB got the last appearance in his contract and then said, 'yeah you're done.' DIRTY.

Lol… there is no information in this article.

So the Rock wanted to take over DC universe? He’s doing what he did to the Fast and the Furious franchise Dwayne Johnson needs a break. Maybe work on XFL or do some wrestling. His L’s are mounting quick.

Herny tried to control a piece of dc. Lol. That’s the thing I would never could come up with. I except you guys can make report like that.

The new president of Warner Media wanted & got Henry back. Now comes Gunn with changes, shouldn't the president have intervened to not let Henry go? In either case it is a risky decision to hire Gunn to run DCU

Black Adam was one of the best dc films tho why stop em when you can just take control and elevate it nobody wants to wait years to restart again at all😂😂

This shit has more drama than most superhero movies.

I thought this was obvious?

They trying to make The Rock a real Black Adam when Ezra Miller is Reverse Flash in real life!

We haven’t seen tea with this level of strength since don’t worry darling

FireJamesGunn FireJamesGunn

I TOLD YALL!!!! 🤣 black adam was literally about THE ROCK being seen fighting superman, not adam. guess he has to stick w being the jungle tan tee guy. and hobbs lol

Andy how about naming the people who are throwing out allegations.

We don’t care lol we knew what the rock was up to why is this jist news now. RestoreTheSnyderVerse and do whatever you want, if not oh well.

TheRock really?

This is getting fucking interesting dude wtf

WAIT A MINUTE! That's what he meant by 'the hierarchy of power in the DC universe is about to change”?! He literally thought he was going to overthrow DC and run the company?!

So why the rock is dangerous,but not James Gunn?the motherfxx is Promoting Marvel today now

Thank you for doing everything you could to make DC relevant again TheRock, we love you so much! 💛💛💛 BoycottWB FireJamesGunn

Oh no. Dawn Johnson was trying to actually give the fans something they wanted. How horrible

💀

Hollywood is such a joke

GraceRandolph said it first. I’m telling ya y’all sleeping on this lady she always gives out news weeks in advance she’s on top of it

Wow! That’s down & dirty!

Idgaf. Henry is superman RestoreTheSnyderVerse HenryCavillSuperman

Znyderverse fanboy tears are funny.

The Rock was legit trying to obtain the hierarchy of power over the DC universe 💀💀💀

BringBackHenryCavill HenryCavillIsMySuperman

James Gunn’s PR team is working overtime now. He coulda used that for those tweets when he was at marvel.

What does that even mean bro? 😂

Should have made him Black Adam

Oddly enough my friend and I were discussing this. Oh dear.

Kevin Fiege stalking Henry Cavill's manager:

TheRock cares about fans and cares about his friend HenryCavill

I dont have a stance against the rock but his whole black adam thing seem kinda forced and redundant when cap marvel and the shazam family already exists

Naw y’all trying to Blame the Rock for this. Truth is, they want to start over with younger cast.

I wouldn’t doubt it. Word is dude to a power hungry pushy asshole

Everyone going off but if the Snyder films performed and the general audience-not the lunatics whose life revolves around restoring a failed cinematic universe-liked them they’d keep making them. That’s business. Clearing house is smart at this point. Cut out the cancer.

most dc fans be weird. y’all blame james gunn but not the fan base for not even going to the movies and SUPPORT the film😭 the movie barely broke even and that goes to show what y’all think about the DCEU

Then roids getting to Dwayne’s head.

everyone's gonna wanna blame the rock of course but not the CEO who actually met with cavill and fired him. Y'all acting like we didn't see The Rock actually be excited about a new era for DC & all ruined by some skinny nerd with glasses who thinks his vision is what's best smh:/

Dumbest excuse I ever heard Beyond Dwayne's obvious ploy to cash in on Cavill's star power to sell a movie he new was rubbish, the DC execs didn't know Henry's worth and the love the fans have for him to separate him from The Rock's machinations?

Read that in a couple of articles. Also it had bad reviews from early screenings and Cavill was brought in to try and boost the movie. Going by what I’ve read and people I’ve spoken too it didn’t help. Also Dwayne Johnson hasn’t said anything about Cavill losing Superman.

'more insight'

Sound about right... I feel like people miss this and just blame whoever they see on their timeliness

It would be hilarious is the rock is cast as Superman

Black Adam is god awful .. they really thought they could just push it out with Rock's name alone.... WRONG WRONG... but was it surprise that it was a hot mess .. Dwayne hasn't put out anything decent in yrs.. but keep buying he's spirits and energy drink ppl ... smh

Gunn's vision: Smallville 2.0, Fans: Full Mantled Supes protecting Earth from World Crisis Threats.

And the BBC?

None of you understand Superman. There is a reason why Superman agreed to help the world, but on his own terms. Not yours.

Yeah this definitely reads like a bullshit narrative a media company would push

What a click bait title

Wtf

Stop it. It's James Gunn's fault. Period.

Obviously! you guys saw what happened with the fast and furious franchise he was trying to do the same thing get some control over it. Dude has always been power hungry.

Mounzor chaud si c'est vrai, The Rock qui a voulu peser dans le game. Bye Bye Black Adam.

Call me shocked

I can’t imagine there is anyone with any interest in DC that did not want to see another Cavill Superman film. Always thought Gunn was a genius - but he has fucked this up totally.

The rock turned out to be a turd huh?

Now they're using TheRock as a pawn to take the flak off themselves for the terrible decision making and disrespect. You lot are unprofessional scumbags WBHomeEnt DCComics JamesGunn karma is waiting for you around the corner

Good Riddance for Cavill. Now that he’s free from the shackles of DC and Netflix, he can play the role he was TRULY born to play…

That's the key , Dwayne what's to be the James Gunn in DC, making his movie and saying, ' look i did a great movie and people love it ', The movie was great , entertain, maybe didn't have a outstanding performance but, i like it. it was better than WW, Aquaman.

Best Superman stop overthinking things. No one wants to see a younger 'Clark Kent' aka Smallville

I can’t believe they sacked Henry Cavill, huge mistake, huge .

Cavill’s jawline is stronger than the Rock could ever hope to be

Such bullshit, the “insider source” is 💯 % in James Gunn’s pocket no doubt about it!

Everyone's now sticking up for Johnson? I find that funny since majority of you 'fans' didn't even pay to see his movie. You're fake fans who only stick with them when YOU agree with them. You're not fans at all, ypu just jump on bandwagons

The Rock is becoming more unlikeable by the second.

Bro what?

James Gunn didn’t want him as Superman anymore, yall bending over backwards to create some conspiracy lmaooo

Kevgbreakout nice little read here , comments are pretty solid too , seen you posting about this topic the other night so figured I would tag yah

James gunny

Oh yea blame the rock for all of dcs incompetence screen rant = wet garbage

Love how WB and Gunn can't handle the backlash of firing Henry Cavill so they are trying to push the blame on Dwayne, someone who actually wanted Henry Cavill back

Is this entertainment or politics

Nice try but it's all the pedos fault FireJamesGunn BoycottWB

James Gunn picking a fight with Henry and Dwayne?! Interesting.

SpartacusTheLe1 I think I'm one of the few who enjoyed the 4 hr Zack Snyder cut of Justice league. Was so much better than the 2017 version of Justice League

If Screen Rant says it then you know its fake news

Another new actor playing an iconic character. Superman was the only one I still cared about bc it actually has the synonymous actor still attached. Welp guess I’m now 100% out. But that’s ok. I’m def not their target demographic anyway. Never read a comic in my life.

ayatt7 look at this 5ara

Least Henry Cavill has more time to game

oh the draaaaama

I’m not watching ANYTHING involving Gunn.

BREAKING! A new report basically says to please don't blame James Gunn for making plans without Henry Cavill. It's the Rock's fault for trying to save the DCEU most of you foolishly invested in for years; while we had already paid someone to make other plans to the contrary! PS..

This article revealed no new information or anything everyone didn’t already know ?

What a total shambles!

A pawn? Well that's a way of putting it, who cares? What Dwayne was going to build looked far more interesting than what James Gunn is doing.

AngryJoeShow

I'll never waste my money on the DC again. They can't keep the actors we love and keep doing movies over. How many batman's are there? And Superman's. Henry is the best one, and you ditch him also? Good Bye DC

I read this piece written by some random twitter users. You did that too didn't you? And used em as news?

Bullshit

What a surprise

Bro, as far as I’m concerned DJ was trying to give the fans what we wanted, which was Cavill Superman, which shows even more clearly after all the backlash James has been receiving after announcing that cavill is out… dc just keeps back peddling more and more

How long before people see the rock is a shitty person under that fake ass social mask he puts up.

Load. Of. Shit.

How is Superman below Black Adam? This is coming from the biggest Superman hater lol like wtf

I could definitely see that. I’m sure the rock didn’t have some over arching plan for DC, and more just wanted a showdown between Superman and other characters. As sad as it is that Cavil is gone, Gunn is actually trying to build a real cohesive universe

Um, this isn’t insightful as it was blatantly obvious.

Bs fake news. Stop with such rumors.

Feeling like an attempt to make Dwayne Johnson the scapegoat IMO.

It literally says in his statement they want to focus on the younger years which means they need a younger super man

I need a documentary about the rise and fall of the DCEU. Call it “Crisis.” Put that shit on streaming in like 6 years. I’d watch that.

Henry Cavill is awesome! They're missing out

MAN 🖕🏼JamesGunn wbpictures WBHomeEnt

Nigga this shit ain’t true

Nahh they’re trying to do damage control and throw this on the Rock. Like or hate the guy he fought hard to get Cavill back in the suit. This was all on Gunn (the hack) and him wanted to have control of DC.

pc3laker

100%. I have been saying this over and over again. The Rock needed Cavill to try and boost ticket sales for Black Adam & insert himself in the future universe of DC. Without Cavill he had no future. Plus, his movie sucked shit.

DC should just scrap everything and start over.... this is embarrassing

Dwayne Johnson is the worst

A lot of y’all aren’t looking at the big picture. DC is in shit right now because of people like Dwayne. People who want a piece of the pie but not carry the whole thing. We need a KF for the DC. And rebooting it might be the only way to go

But fans hated Man of Steel, BVS, Aquaman, and so on. Now folks want Henry back. I'm starting to thing we are the cause of this crazy mess. WB are listening to fans be trying to start fresh because let's be honest. No one liked Zack Snyder universe that he made 🤷🏾🤷🏾🤷🏾

I said this weeks ago

Marvel got a role set

My problem with the james replacing henry is as follows. if he replaces superman and his movie is also concidered mid, are we just going to go through another ten years cycle with a superman that comes and goes depending on the leadership.

I just dont think he would want to take over dc, he probably just wants dc to be as good as it can be if he is going to act in the universe and thought henry coming back would be a win. Personally dont think he has any bad intentions.

I really like that DC now blaming Dwayne Johnson for bringing back Henry Cavill in DC Universe. Great Job James Gunn

They are gonna main event wrestlemania

Deflecting blame to the rock in an attitude to take heat off Gunn.

Since Black Adam was actually a fun DC movie that wasn't based on Batman, Give TheRock the Keys to DC. Hell, he wanted to Bring Back Henry Cavill as Supes.

Im confused by the headline and article. How is Cavill a pawn when, based on the article, Johnson wanted him in his movie and follow-ups in the DCEU? What part is him trying to control a piece of DC? Cavill is a great Superman.

Black Adam was a disgrace of a movie, not just a super hero movie but just overall a 1/10

Idk why everybody is trying to blame James Gunn.The guy was hired to reorganize and do things right.If Cavill didn’t fit on the project of Gun it’s not his fault, it’s WB who told Cavill was coming back.the Rock didn’t help here and tried to get control while he’s just an actor.

Like the lowlife p€d○Phile pervo gunn is some gangster making decisions to remove ppl that he doesn't like .... he'll get his comeuppance

MOS and Black Adam share the same tone but Shazam does not so it’s obvious why Rock doesn’t choose to associate his film with Shazam trashy franchise. It’s like putting Superman in the Spy Kids franchise. Wouldn’t happen so why should this..?

Sure, blame the Rock and not to do to hired or fired Cavill

Until actual this story is fully collaborated it's just more rumors

A new report? When the only thing TheRock did was do what the fans wanted. Something he’s being saying all his life to listen to fans, you seat there & type this crap saying Dwayne used Henry as a pawn? You are sick.

I’m done with the DC universe, along with the Witcher as well. Not even worth the Pirate.

OBVIOUSLY. The Rock (great and hardworking dude) was Deluded man of the year. Thinking his hierarchy of power in WB would bring a balance to the force 🤣🤣 absolutely deluded.

The reboot is not even here, and SR is already sucking off Gunn - impressive.

Dc finished

Dwayne is a comedy, when trying to use other people for a failed plan (he is an actor against a company) and even more Warner Bros. Pictures! Man what kind of HERB has he been using? 😂😆

I Will never underestand DC, the World was created. For this kind of things Marvel ahead of DC with their movies

This is the last straw for me. After years of support through inconsistent continuity, dull plots, and a lackluster cinematography I can no longer support the DCEU. I have invested years through all the bad just to have it rebooted without the actors who made the DCEU it is today

For now, Dwayne Johnson's radio silence is striking.

D_Roudra

Smells like WB propaganda to smear both Dwayne's and Henry's reputations. I don't trust WB anymore on anything relating to this.

FireJamesGunn

I’ve been a stark supporter of DCEU for the longest time. But between the bore fest they was Black Adam to all this, I’m out.

TonnieMusau it keeps getting interesting 😬

This sounds like the 'Hollywood Insider' is a Twitter or Reddit comment.

This sounds like the 'Hollywood Insider' is a Twitter or Reddit comment.

I'm sorry but did someone really think a villain from Shazam would become this super leader of the DC universe. I get being part of it, but I never thought black Adam would be as popular as superman or even aquaman

It’s really time to start boycotting the rock that dudes ego is absolutely out of control and he’s a terrible actor who plays the same exact thing in every single role he just plays himself the rock in everything. Dude ruins fun franchises.

The rock really thought he was gonna be the rdj of the mcu, huh?

Ffs

They only went along with it cus The Rock was gone bring the bag in but back tracked and tryna blame him for wanting Henry as Superman

The best part of all this is seeing all the sub humans that are way too invested in some movies like it’s a religion or a cult.

The Rock doesn’t have as much power as y’all are giving him. He’s not the CEO or even the director of the DCEU. He’s just someone who had a role in this universe. The people higher up likely knew they were axing the whole series when they merged.

James Gun already said he won't be Superman for now but he can be a part of future projects.

RobFloThree

Yeah... no shit...

I cannot WAIT for the documentary on the DCU 2013-2023 that absolutely must happen at some point.

Yeah. Nah.

dajonime

Yes, he was so wrong for trying to give the fans what they want. Where they went wrong was only having Cavill pop up in a post credits scene after touting him for the whole press tour.

The cameo in Black Adam was a gimmick to get audiences in. There was nothing more to it than that. WB and DC have made a complete mockery of what should be a shoe in in super films. The constant chopping and changing shows they have no idea what direction to take.

why are people on a warpath against gunn. anyone in his position would need to reboot the franchise. it’s been completely unsuccessful

I heard the Rock being described as a crypto scam and it couldn’t have been more perfectly fit for this situation.

Nah don’t pin this on The Rock blame Zaslav, Gunn and Safran for toying Cavill and Johnson around making them think there’s a chance for true change

he brought back the ONE single person everyone wanted? rock was already doing better lmaooo

One day you will watch a movie with both marvelcomics and dccomics heroes first battling each other and then uniting to fave the true, common enemy.😉

Gotta love this idea that the people who actually made the decision to ditch him were in no way complicit and it was the fault of someone who was actually excited to work with him.. totally believable (thanks for the scoop 🙄

Websites like this are going so sift through the detritus now to mine for headline gold 🙄

Sounds exactly like those studio paid articles that crop up to divert blame towards an individual. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Trying to make The Rock a villain for wanting his movie to do well is so weird

Oh dear.

Yup, they (DC) played his tight ass like a fiddle to try and get more money for BA

Who the fuck wrote that article? Gunn himself probably leaked those info...and yeah even if Dwayne wanted to control DC it was for the fans...he knows the fans want Cavill and he gave us just THAT!!

LouAlpizar no hay personas dignas.

You provide nothing to back up that Cavill was a 'pawn'. You make that statement, then repeat what we already knew (that Johnson pushed for Supes at the end of BA) and then move on. HOW did DJ want to 'control a piece of DC', HOW would Cavill facilitate that? Useless article.

I mean sure, but the way this story reads doesn’t sound like the warners were not excited to bring him back if you take his cameos and immediate plans to start development on mos 2, so i’m gonna need more deets, please and thank you

That spin falls apart under any scrutiny. The new report is simply damage control and frankly it’s insulting.

Sounds about right

FireJamesGunn

But he did change the hierarchy of the dc universe!!! He got everyone removed from it😂

Omg i can’t even.

If Black Adam is any indication of what The Rock was bringing to DC, then I'm glad DC is doing a Gunn Refresh. I really liked Suicide Squad and Guardians, time for new leadership.

From pawn to Primarch! ForTheEmperor warhammer40k

We scapegoat the rock now lol

Well the Rock said Henry is Superman, so I fail to see how that makes him look bad. Sounds like deflection.

Yeah, yeah go on. Blame Dwayne Johnson and not the man who actually fired him see my homepage plz

It was quite clear what Johnson was doing and it’s hilarious too see ppl say differently .. he tried the same thing with the fast franchise

Whatever comes of this whole debacle, I just hope Cavill finds some well deserved happiness and fulfilment from Warhammer 🙏 ✌️

DC using the rock as a scapegoat is such a DC thing. Even with rebooting the universe, they never can escape a shit show.

The rock is a clown

anyone with a brain could see that. the rock serves the rock. he got what he deserved. his black adam was okay, but not even close to what the character deserved

'New report' was a whole lotta nothing new.

DCComics is all over the place. They did silly things in past, and future plans are uncertain. HenryCavill was and is the Best Superman yet. They are removing him. This plan is not going to work for surez

AngryJoeShow

Man.....Stop playing with that Man's emotions Warner Bros.....😫

Cite your sources cause this Rock slander getting of control

This fits with some stuff I've heard, but I don't know about the 'pawn shit'. But literally the entire Black Adam saga was basically a marketing attempt to try and convince WB to move forward with Cavil and other original DCEU things but it's failure nipped that in the bud.

I honestly know the rock isn't everyone's cup of tea, however the article screams of the studios pr side trying to blame everything on everyone else except themselves

This just sounds like a conspiracy theory

Source: I made it up

That’s what happens when you bring a Rock to a Gunn fight.

tbf at least dwayne was tryna do something positive w the universe, gunn’s way will give us a better end result tho

Dwayne Johnson is such a tool . He’s so over rated and will appear on ANYTHING to feed his massive EGO .

Yes because the Rock owns DC and could take it over with his mind brain. How thick are you?

Henry Cavill Superman return dc univer

Again, like I said, before, DC is trying to hard to get the same success as marvel even of James Gunn. I don’t know if that’s gonna be enough.

Ao Gunn already knew this?

Okay what are we believing?

therock Is this real or 🧢

“The Rock says: …nevermind”

I don't see the issue with Henry Cavill being used, Henry knew it but sadly it didn't work. Rebooting the universe is the right thing to do now. This is the way.

D.C. should stick to animation. Their animated movies are legit. Other than that. Just Stop

James Gunn,go on~

Am I in the majority or not in thinking Henry Cavill is the best choice to play Superman in this day and age?

Not surprised

They wanted to reboot it and using black Adam to do it

They're really trying to pin the fact that Henry Cavill was binned by DC on The Rock? Even though The Rock was the one who fought for Cavill to return to the Superman role as the most dominant superhero in DC? Absolute shambles. Disney needs to purchase DC

Like what he did with the Fast & The Furious? 😏

Honestly, these movies are just not interesting enough for me to be interested in this drama.

FAke

It doesn't matter. DWAYNE WAS ON THE PATH TO GIVE US WHAT WE WANTED. wbpictures ARE YOU LISTENING TO THE FANS YET?

Surely, Johnson basically saying Superman was in it whilst on the red carpet at the premiere gives you some idea he thought this would've made an impact at the box office. So many people have been waiting to see HC as Superman again.

FireJamesGunn BringBackZackSnyder

We knew

What a diabolical plan. First make friends with Henry Tease Convince him to tease a superman/ black Adam crossover from all the way back to 2016 Get his job back as superman All as a evil way to benefit himself. He sure did play the long game

Don't try to push blame on TheRock It's all on James Gunn. He is the creative mind. Black Adam was shot before he arrived so Dwayne is just another victm there.

DC is in such a spectacle of errors and failures... I just hope they don't mess with the new Joker and Batman movie.

Can we all stop before we have to cancel the rock….please

I watched the movie just to see Henry .

This aint news anybody with eyes knew it

Yall doesn't understand...

I mean, he did kinda jump the gun and started promoting Superman for his movie before it even came out. It didn’t even break even so I can’t imagine how little money it would have made without the “Superman returns” leak

What a terrible article

First of all a Hollywood insider….yeah not trusting a Hollywood insider to be exactly truthful either.

DJ was trying to save a 💩 franchise, and bringing Cavill was the right decision. Gunn also is making a right decision by hitting the reset button. Slate needs to be cleaned to actually start a cohesive universe and not the garbage Snyder/Suits created. DJ/HC will be back!

Honestly, I don't care about the blame game at this point; I just want some stability with these movies.

I love how everyone is fighting while James Gunn hasn't said a thing about what's his next move. Everyone was saying how the DCEU SUCKED! Let's face it the best way to fix a Universe is to start it from the beginning.

Yo man the real reason for this mess is the DC “fans” ain’t going out to watch DC movies so they just ain’t selling nobody but the fans should get blamed support what you support but don’t go crying about people losing they jobs when you ain’t supporting them

Call out this fool JamesGunn not Dwayne Johnson.

Bruh

What’s with all this Dwayne Johnson drama? Anyway I’m just gonna wait till dc gets their shit fixed

That article said absolutely nothing new. Click bait 🖕

U only know what u mean a “pawn”

DC is terrible end of story

After the Fast and Furious spin off, then this news, if true, Dj seems to be trying to takeover established franchises/universes

GokuBawa

So now they wanna blame the rock Really Does that change anything that happened with Cavill

The Rock brought him back with no plan. I trust James Gunn.

90% of you all are so annoying 😂

This shit getting spicy

All of these websites ALWAYS have DISNEYS/MARVELS back...ALWAYS TRASHING DC UNLESS IT'S WOKE!👎🏽

The Rock turned heel even in Hollywood

Why they can't make Superman movies with henry they are making batman movie with Pattinson in seperate univers why they can't with henry

JamesGunn true or false...?

NoCavillNoDCU NoThanks FireJamesGunn BoycottWB HenryCavillIsSuperman RestoreTheSnyderVerse

I've gave it some thought and I would suggest wait and see what the eventual Clark Kent Superman announcement is before jumping the 'Gunn' on the Gunnverse. I too was bashing but now I personally would rather calm down and wait for more info to come out.

The rock is a hemorrhoid on Hollywood’s asshole

CuppaYT hi cuppa

Stop lying. Stop

What’s up with DC they can’t get any movies right! Why can’t we get one actor to finish a character like Batman , Superman, look at Caps he’s been captain America till end game also Iron Man.

We don’t care just give us the fans what we want to see. We’ve been waiting for the return of Superman with HenryCavillNews not some of young version. You played us and played with Cavill too

Now you guys are gonna blame the Rock? hahahaha. Just admit that Jams Gunn is so full of himself that he destroyed DC because he can

It's the rock's fault for prematurely bringing Henry back to save his failing movie. He took advantages of the studios heads being a mess and butting heads. Stop blaming James gunn

Well that's no secret

Source: Trust me bro

Unfortunately I actually see that this is exactly what happened to Henry. He should’ve just let the cape go on his own accord but I get it. When you love something it’s hard to let it go

Well someone approved the cameo

Idk I can SEE him or anyone trying his to do that, but really why?

Which dc fan didn't want cavil back anyway?

MrHreviews Seems Dwyane wanted to play god

Wha...

That doesn't make James Gunn any less responsible.

So you guys are now back stabbing The Rock for James Gunn?

Cavill is a grown man who has been in Hollywood awhile now. He should have known better then to publicly declare his return without a signed deal in place.

Watching Snyder stans not being able to accept reality on this is hilarious. They still think a petition will bring back their unsuccessful universe. It’s done, get over it lol.

Comic Book Review

It’s only right… he’s the only guy for the part, Like Chad Boseman wit black panther.

BringBackZackSnyder FireJamesGunn

So let’s blame the Rock for this shit show? Yeah whatever

Of course they were going to blame The Rock even though all he did was give us all what we wanted to begin with.

DC such a rotten hole...jeez

Stop ✋ nice conspiracy but it's obvious Gunn has an ego issue

Oh so Dwayne was the one that fired him and not the one that brought him back? Behave!

Everyone knows that they used him. The rock even knew what he was doing. They only had superman at the end so people would have to watch the whole wack movie. I can imagine when the numbers came in the rock made phone calls to the higher ups and got cavill gone.

Henry deserved more HenryCavill mysuperman icon

I mean you don’t have to read the insider to know that.

It doesn’t change anything bringing Cavill back was the most excitement DC films has had in years fans were through the roof. It’s like coaching a good coach adapts their system to the talent they have to be successful! Cavill Gadot Affleck Mamoa all fit their roles iconically.

Ahhh, so is Dwayne's fault now. OK, it seems he is at fault for everything in the DCU lately. Damn you Dwayne Johnson for wanting Cavill to be the Superman and maybe continue ZS's story!

Is this a joke?!

OMG, Cavill is an Executive Producer of his next project and people still want him to comeback as somebody else worker? really? He exploded in popularity thanks to The Witcher but his Superman wasn't successful enough.

Letting The Rock do and have a say was one of the dumbest decision WB ever made apart from letting Zack Snyder do his horrible Snyderverse movies. How can they let someone who doesn't know or care about the comic book character do a movie abt him. Because of his Ego?.

I mean the Rock repeatedly talked like he owned DC. He pushed them to shove Black Adam in everything even vaguely DC related, and tried to make him the centerpiece of the DCEU going forward. The fact that he used Henry as a means of trying to seize more control is not shocking

Only Zack Snyder can save DC. 🤞✌️

This is interesting 🤔

When I first heard about the movie I was excited, but after listen to Dwayne's plan for a 'Black Adam universe' I started to get worried. And then when he said that Black Adam was the most powerful force in the DC universe I knew it was an ego thing.

Lol now they are trying to blame The Rock. It's all WBD & James Gunn fault. FireJamesGunn

Wish I could downvote this shit 'article'...

DC gave up whatever chance they had at any relevance.

What a click bait 👏

The Rock is a genuine good dude , why would he he use someone like that, his already set for life, I’swear twitter is a toxic place.

This Is JamesGunn Putting Blame On TheRock He Want Him Out...Soon We Will Have A Puff Peace On James Cunt Payed By The Studio.

DC is dead now, can’t blame the rock for caring.

Article written by Sean Gunn.

Ok ok, hold up. Cut this blaming The Rock for this mess bullshit out. He really try to get Cavill back in the role & the powers that be at that time said yes, told Cavill they was talking to writers to make another superman movie so. Blame those people not The Rock.

TheRock vindiesel

This is propaganda, They weren’t going to hand over DC to the rock. Love his enthusiasm but no.

Clear cut smear attempt at the Rock. Whoever’s pulling the strings for articles like this want to pin him as the fall guy. Nobody’s buying that. We all know who’s to blame for firing Henry.

That sounds a bit dramatized. I think DJ was doing us a favor. He fought for the story of Black Adam and Henry Cavill returning. Where it went wrong: the execution. He had his Seven Bucks production friends make the movie. The writers (and director) were not comic book savvy

Admin of this page don't have the balls to call out the real culprit. The pedophile James Gunn is the worst thing that happened to DC universe. He literally took the best characters from DCEU and trashed them. Superman, Wonder Woman are the one that actually brought money for DC

Jeez this sounds (if true) ugly

His cameo is the only the good thing I hear about the movie. Cavill needs to fire his agent. He was def looking out more for the Rock then him.

LLDNofficiel 😂😂😂

Lmfao it's not like James Gunn is at fault

How can you believe that when they're trying to cover their ass Henry Cavill just didn't put herself in the movie it had to go through Warner Brothers discovery use your head they don't want to lose any more money than they are ready have look at their stocks trying to blame game

Henry Cavill had a 'positive' meeting with James Gunn and he was dropped off from Superman. I mean you guys d**k ride for free or you are getting money to d**k ride Gunn

he was trying to make the the hierarchy of power in the DC universe wouldn't change smh

Those poor film studio executives! Completely helpless against movie stars and film directors. When will they ever be allowed to make decisions for themselves...

Stupid article, why the fu*k would Rock wants Black Adam to flop? He literally brought Cavill back so more fans would watch his movie for his cameo.

Lmao

Not a pawn, The Rock was making past wrongs right. Try again spin machine.

The rock is even a real life villain lol

Isn't Cavill's agent Johnson's wife? Is that why the rock gets the pick of the rolls and cavil is left with sht choices.

Pointing fingers? It's DJ's fault that they have to reboot? Also obviously they were going to turn down anything Jenkins give because they're rebooting the whole thing but it must be Jenkin's fault. Who'd he blamed for the TSS flop again? Oh yeah the Snyder Verse fans.

I don't believe none of this shit anymore

The Rock the one to bring back Henry Cavill’s Superman

'A holywood insider' load of trash

Lol 😂 this is hilarious. Do we care?

why always blame the actors when this is clearly a 100% studio decision, was the same thing with Henry, when people swear that he was the one not waiting to come back

Well duh. He basically announced he was running DC and WB pulled the UNO reverse and draw 4 card. So glad they did.

Translation: We making up shit to try and deflect heat off Gunn

James Gunn should apologize to my mother. She has no idea about superheroes but was so excited Henry was back she sent me the Rock’s post.

Perfect example as to why Marvel is superior to DC. They had a plan, executed that plan, kept a whole storyline going for 10+ years. DC can’t even get their main stars to do cameos or even sequels. What a joke. Not even wrapping up story plots. Bye bye DCU.

In real how are they (WB) going to recoup the money from the slate next year? Their stock is already dismal. The only movie I will spend money on is aquaman. Now that flashpoint and Shazam mean nothing to the universe.

Well, WB shouldn`t have f*ck him over in the first place, so he didn`t have to become a 'pawn' in someone`s hands.

Why are you blaming Dwane he actually saw a future in a messed up DC universe. The only mistake he ever made was being optimistic

We all knew this dumass

First You were blaming Zack Snyder and now you are Blaming The Rock. 🖕👏👏👏🖕

Without even reading this, it seemed obvious that Henry and his team were used as pawns in this 'game' to get bigger draw for Black Adam. There was just 'something' that knawed at me listening to Rock go on and on about 'HIS plan' that also happened to include HC

That's not true. That man is all bout the ppl , he was just listening to them.. stop that

It Cavill's last role of the dice to try to be superman again via the Rock.

Sure thing wbd and JamesGunn blame everyone but yourself you bunch of hypocrites

MCommentry

All that happened before Gunn took over.

This is BS, for a while Dwayne wanted to play BA, he got his chance, so like any actor trying best to protect his character. now you say he wanted to control DC..this is BS, so am suppose to be angry at DJ for trying to bring our superman back? Hell NO!! absolutily the opposite

The rock and Henry Cavil should come to marvel now

Not a possible for dc what ever fans wished its rejection

The Rock tried to take over the franchise just like he did with Fast and Furious. Only this time it didn’t work. Too bad, so sad. I honestly usually enjoy his movies. But Black Adam was horrible.

Back to hit pieces huh JamesGunn

Lmao they’re trying to blame DJ bruh he’s just an actor he has no creative control 😂

Dwayne Johnson recognized the fans wanted Cavill back and WBD apparently are a bunch of dunces.

NSFWorld_ it’s all coming out now.

That’s why Henry Cavill plays a scene for The Flash … 🤷‍♂️

So.. There could be inside drama that loud mouth outsiders speculate on incorrectly? Certainly not the first time in these matters..

SamuEl_KentMan

Oh shit

ElleGenerico

FireJamesGunn he does not belong in DC

wbd now you will pay harder… BoycottWB

Am I psychic or a genius? Because I said this at the time. That ex-wife of Dwayne's had Henry supporting her at body building tournaments and promoting her clothing line on his birthday, when WB was announcing their intention to move on with Michael B. Jordan.

You think I care? They should bring back Henry Cavill and continue the Darkseid storyline.

no need to be superman got warhammer

FireJamesGunn!

The Rock be like

Y’all fucked him over Discovery FireJamesGunn

Y'all making TheRock look like the villain when at least he was helping his friend. JamesGunn threw the best Superman to the trash costing an actor's dream job. I don't know Dwayne's plan for DC, bit I guarantee it's better than pedo's. FireJamesGunn RestoreTheSnyderVerse

I can't wait for JamesGunn to 'Umm Actually' the shit out of this 🤣

Going to warhammer..

In my assessment, I think WB/DC has lost too much money of recent with the DCEU films and Black Adam was the nail in the coffin. I feel like they were all getting Cavill on board for Superman and making sequels. What they didn't explain was that Black Adam had to be a big seller

Some people wouldn't have watched black Adam if it wasn't for the pcs

That's more believable

This is a delicate one to debunk. Care to JamesGunn First thing I thought when Cavill’s outing was confirmed was how much Johnson used fans desire to see cavill as supes to fuel interest in a shit movie.

GraceRandolph you were right once more don't you get tired?

Yeah, yeah go on. Blame Dwayne Johnson and not the man who actually fired him 🙄

TheTyroneMagnus

This article says nothing about him being a pawn. Why wouldn’t TheRock want Cavill in the movie? It’s a coup to get him. If Cavill turns it down then he turns it down. Why wouldn’t Johnson want Black Adam to succeed. Nothing about this deserves this sinister headline.

Henry Cavill made the biggest mistake by leaving The Witcher

Wtf? SaveWarriorNun

FireJamesGunn BoycottWBD Fire Gunn the pedophile!! wbd

DCU: Behind The Curtain™ is my favorite reality TV show
