James Gunn and Peter Safran didn’t waste any time in stamping their mark on the DCU, and even if plenty of of us are pissed about the duo’s first several main orders of business, we’d wager that none of them are as sad as Dwayne Johnson.
After all, the one-time Black Adam has now taken to rewriting the historical past books to say that he wasn’t planning an bold enlargement of the franchise revolving totally across the Man in Black, despite the fact that he and his group stated the exact opposite many times over whereas hitting the promotional trail with a vengeance.
SnyderVerse veteran Henry Cavill can additionally be out of the door, whereas Ben Affleck is surely destined to hitch him within the quick future, however some of the overlooked veterans of the DCU’s early years who we’d have loved to see more of is definitely J.K. Simmons’ Jim Gordon.
The Academy Award-winning star was pitch-perfect casting, however he was given barely any screentime in Justice League, and a few further moments within the Snyder Cut, earlier than his comeback in Batgirl was killed completely. Needless to say, it’s slightly ironic to see The Rock celebrating the collaboration between two deposed DC favorites, however a minimal of Red One will is nearly guaranteed a franchise.
With Prime Video footing the invoice for the festive motion comedy blockbuster, box workplace dollars don’t factor into the equation at all, so while we won’t see Black Adam and Jim Gordon coming face-to-face in an unlikely crossover for the ages, Johnson and Simmons should be having loads of Yuletide frolics to tide them over.
