DC fans want ‘Black Adam’ to succeed for reasons that have nothing to do with the movie

Black Adam finally arrives on Friday, marking the end of an incredibly long period in development that began when Dwayne Johnson first expressed an interest in playing the character way back in November 2007. 15 years (and many scripts) later the film is here, but many dedicated DC fans are hoping for it to be a hit not because they care about the character, but because of what it might mean for behind-the-scenes decisions.

Unlike the majority of superhero blockbusters, Black Adam stars a bona fide A-lister with a lot of influence across the industry. Johnson has been quite open about how he’s used his star power to put pressure on Warner Bros. to make the movie he wanted, particularly in having an appearance from Henry Cavill’s Superman.
