Worldwide excitement grows stronger by the hour due to The Rock’s interviews, which never miss strengthening the fire with not-so-subtle Superman references anymore. The actor seems even more excited than the fans, which warms my heart. But let’s remember what this movie is actually about.

Not only will Black Adam make his cinematic debut, but the movie also introduces several members of the JSA for the first time. After reading the comics, and then watching their animated versions, old and new DC fans will now be able to actually see Dr. Fate, Cyclone, Atom Smasher and Hawkman in action on a big screen.

Growing up as a DC girl, just writing these words makes me smile and wriggle with childlike excitement. But many people had never even heard of these characters before their addition to the movie. So let’s go back in time and investigate them.

Who is Hawkman?

READ MORE: Black Adam Post-Credits Scene Reportedly Revealed

The character is actually one of the oldest DC Characters and goes way back to the 1940s! He appeared in the first ever Flash comic and became one of the founding members of the Justice Society of America. The character is considered to have one of the most confusing backstories of the DC universe, due to a series of reinventions over the years. But what stays pretty much the same is:

• Beautiful large, artificial wings
• The use of archaic weaponry, such as his iconic mace
• His golden helmet
• The anti-gravity belt, which is made of Nth metal
• Most of the time, he works closely with his romantic interest Hawkgirl

Since there are multiple versions of the character and so many confusing storylines, let’s make it easier and narrow it all down to the two most well-known versions: Carter Hall and Katar Hol.

In the days of ancient Egypt, Prince Khufu is engaged in a feud with his rival, the Egyptian priest Hath-Set. The priest eventually captures Khufu and his wife, Chay-Ara, and kills them with a cursed dagger.

Millennia later, in 1940, Khufu is reincarnated as the American archaeologist Carter Hall, his wife Chay-Ara as Shiera Saunders, and Hath-Set as scientist Anton Hastor.

After touching the dagger he was killed with, Carter regains the memories of his former life and realizes Hastor is the reincarnation of his ancient foe. When Hastor kidnaps Shiera, Hall uses his newly-found memories to craft a gravity-defying belt using Nth metal – the same metal the dagger was made of – and a winged costume, to become Hawkman.

Carter successfully rescues Shiera, and Anton is killed. Carter and Shiera – who becomes Hawkgirl – then begin a romantic relationship while fighting criminals together.

Katar Hol is an honoured police officer on his homeworld of Thanagar. Along with his wife, Shayera, they use the anti-gravity belts and their wings to fly and fight criminals. They were sent to Earth in 1961 to capture the shape-shifting criminal Byth.

Following this mission, they decided to remain on Earth to work with authorities in the United States and learn human police methods. The two adopted covers as a pair of museum curators: Carter and Shiera Hall. They acted publicly as the second Hawkman and the second Hawkgirl.

Which version will the DCEU choose?

What remains to be seen is which version of Hawkman the DCEU will present to the fans. Will it be an existing version? A mix of different versions? Or a completely new, reinvented Hawkman? Maybe the movie won’t even show a definitive version of the character. In Black Adam, he could very well be introduced as Carter Hall, a regular archaeologist fighting crime as a gladiator hawk, to have the character discover he’s a reincarnated prince in a future movie and adds drama.

I personally am mostly excited about one thing: Where Hawkman goes… Hawkgirl follows, meaning that the female superhero is bound to appear in the DCEU in a near future. To be able to see Hawkman and Hawkgirl fully dressed, flying and fighting alongside on a big screen would be an absolute dream come true.

Hawkman has been my absolute favourite DC superhero, so I’m more than excited to see Aldis Hodge rock the wings!

Black Adam is going to be released in cinemas in the United States on October 21st later this month.

The post Black Adam: Who Is Hawkman? appeared first on Small Screen.

So, in the interview, Johnson said that “the whole point” of bringing the DC Comics character to the big screen in his own standalone movie is so that one day he can make a Black Adam Vs Superman movie. Johnson has been asked time and time again by the fans whether his DC Comics character would ever get to fight Henry Cavill’s Superman in the DC Universe.

He’s been very good at answering those questions by stating that he would for it to happen, but he just didn’t know what was going on. Well, it looks like things have been sorted out between Cavill and Warner Bros Discovery, and Superman is coming back in the upcoming DC movie and will get to star alongside Johnson in a future DC movie.

During the interview with CinemaBlend, Johnson was  asked directly if he “intends to make a movie where Black Adam fights [Superman].” Here’s what Johnson had to say to that question: “Absolutely. That is the whole point of this, man.” Johnson then continued:

I have been saying for some time, there’s a new era in the DC Universe that’s about to begin. And what I meant by that was introducing a brand new character. It’s not a sequel, not an existing IP. It was… you know, Black Adam. Two years ago the world had no idea who he was. We did, but not the rest of the masses out there. What I really meant by, ‘This is a new era in the DC Universe,’ is listening to the fans. And doing our best to give the fans what they want.

Johnson then added: “I have been listening, and I’ve been wanting to address fans for years” in relation to the fans’ desire to have his DC character and Superman fight on the biggest screen possible. Johnson added:

I’ve been waiting for someone to step up and address the fans and say, ‘Hey, we hear you. So finally, after many months turned into many years, we ended up with what we ended up at. And the whole goal and intention now is to this new era, new time. Now let’s build out.

Now, back to the upcoming DC movie. The film stars Aldis Hodge, Noah Centineo, Sarah Shahi, Marwan Kenzari and Pierce Brosnan. The film opens in cinemas in the United States on October 21st later this month.

Honestly, I really hope that this ends up happening because I would love to see Johnson and Cavill star in the same DC movie together. I actually think it would do really, really well at the box office.

So, it’s been revealed that the number one negative spot, given recent events, is Amber Heard. Interestingly enough, Johnny Depp, who has always been actually quite high up on the list, has remained in the number eight spot on the most positive scores for men. The first time I ever heard people talk about ‘Q scores’ was in the 1996 Scream movie. In that movie in which a group of teens are trying to find out who murdered Drew Barrymore’s character, one of the characters, a nerdy cinephile called Randy (played by Jamie Kennedy), joked that being the killer “would certainly improve your high school Q.”

The Q Score is actually an old measure of likability that used to be very important in culture. However, over the years, it’s become less and less important. That said, it might become more important in the future. Everyone in the public still has a Q Score, except for politicians, religious leaders and royalty (Prince Andrew must be happy about that).

The whole idea of Q Scores was invented in the early 1960s by Jack Landis. He created this for a company called Marketing Evaluations. The Q Score was supposed to measure how many people were familiar with a show, celebrity, product, and also how they felt about them. They “evolved into the measurement of personality likability, the whole trail of how well-liked our movie stars, TV stars, chefs, musical performers are,” said Henry Schafer, the company’s executive vice president of 33 years. “Eventually every category of personality started to get measured.”

So, who’s doing well and who’s doing badly as far as their Q Scores are concerned? It’s been revealed that the likes of Morgan Freeman, Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington, Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds have very positive scores as far as male celebrities are concerned. Sandra Bullock is top among female celebrities, with Julia Roberts, Dolly Parton, Meryl Streep, Viola Davis and Michelle Obama also on the list.

Jerry Springer is top as far as the list of men with negative Q Scores is concerned. He’s followed up by Machine Gun Kelly, Anthony S. Fauci, Chris Brown and Elon Musk. There are three members of the Kardashians that are pretty close to the top of the negative scores for women. However, Amber Heard is number one on that list!

The post Amber Heard Ranks As Most Hated Woman In America appeared first on Small Screen.

This news comes to us via MovieWeb, and I’m actually happy to hear that we’re going to be getting another DC Comics movie all about Diana Prince. However, what I will say is that the second movie, Wonder Woman 1984, was pretty darn bad. The film was written and directed by Patty Jenkins, and it was just a mess of a film. It’s a shame because the first film, I believe, is one of the best movies in the DCEU.

It was everything I wanted it to be and more. The second movie was not that. I was expecting to really love it, and I just didn’t. I’m really hoping they are going to make a better movie this time around.

Gal Gadot first played the DC Comics character in 2017 in Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice. She then got to appear as the character in her own standalone movie and subsequent sequel. Gadot also played the character in Joss Whedon’s Justice League and Zack Snyder’s Justice League.

Now, even though 1984 wasn’t very well received, I don’t think there was ever really a doubt that the third movie wasn’t going to be made. However, we finally have confirmation that Warner Bros is moving forward with the movie. This was revealed by Patty Jenkins herself. She was speaking at the Matera Film Festival, and she revealed that she’s recently finished writing the movie’s script.

Patty Jenkins has finished the script

Here’s what Jenkins had to say about the upcoming DC Comics movie:

And so, where I said that I was only going to do one, then oh my god, I have to do two. And then, I find myself saying, ‘Oh my god, I’m antsy to do three.’ And so, even now, I say, ‘That’s it’ because I always plan a three-movie arc. There is a story that goes through these three different movies as a whole. But even now, I just wrote last week the final scene of Wonder Woman 3 and I thought, I might be interested to see what happens next. So you’ll never know.

They have asked us to think of ways to do more and it accidentally happens. But you’ll never know. I have a lot of other films that I’m excited to do as well. And I love Gal Gadot so that makes it better too.

So, as it stands, the movie doesn’t have a release date. Warner Bros doesn’t have the movie on its upcoming release schedule, which makes me think that the movie won’t be released until 2025. We’re going to have to wait and see.

The post Wonder Woman 3 Moving Forward At Warner Bros appeared first on Small Screen.

This person’s Twitter handle is @RTAyerCutSS, and they have been a very vocal voice on social media demanding that the Ayer Cut be released. It seems like the movie is pretty much finished and wouldn’t need much money spent on it to have the cut released. There were reports that the movie was going to be released on HBO Max.

We’ve actually been told not too long ago that releasing the film on the streaming platform in 2022 was actually something that was discussed and for a little while was part of the plans at Warners. However, it ended up being prevented after a number of executives within the company vetoed the idea.

Before the news that Ayer had shown the full movie to someone, it was reported that a mystery DC Comics movie was slated for release in 2023. At the time, I thought that this could be a theatrical run of Zack Snyder’s Justice League. However, I’m now thinking that this could actually be a theatrical run of David Ayer’s cut of his 2016 Suicide Squad film.

There are actually quite a few reasons why I think releasing the Ayer Cut would be an excellent idea. First off, it would be a version of the movie that audiences hadn’t seen before. Also, it’s been reported that the movie clocks in at 2 hours 23 minutes, which is a lot shorter than Zack Snyder’s Justice League.

The Snyder film is over four hours long, and I know that most cinemas would not want to screen a movie that’s so long because it would end up preventing them from having screenings of other movies during the day.

Finally, let’s get into what the user had to say about the Ayer Cut. Here are the details that @RTAyerCutSS revealed about the movie:

• The Ayer Cut is 2 hours 23 minutes long.
• The movie is very different from the theatrical version.
• It has a much deeper message than the theatrical cut.
• Jared Leto’s Joker steals the show.
• The Ayer Cut edit is basically finished.
• The movie’s final act needs a little bit of polishing as far as the editing’s concerned.
• Much more of Ben Affleck’s Batman in the movie.

It sounds, to me at least, that this is a film that a lot of people will want to see. There’s been a lot of support for the movie to be released on social media, and I really believe that it would be a good PR move for Warner Bros Discovery, especially after the whole Batgirl cancellation fiasco.

Moreover, when the Twitter user in question was asked whether the movie could end up seeing the light of day, they said “there is hope”. It really sounds to me as though we should expect some sort of Ayer Cut announcement from Warner Bros Discovery in the not-so-distant future. We have asked our own sources about this, but we’ve heard nothing about it so far.

What do you make of this idea? Would you like to see the Ayer Cut end up in cinemas in 2023? Do you think it’s time for the world to see David Ayer’s original vision on the big screen? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

The post David Ayer’s Suicide Squad Could Come To Cinemas In 2023 appeared first on Small Screen.

Unfortunately, the DCEU’s Harley Quinn has its limits

READ MORE: Lady Gaga Joker 2 Role Details Revealed

While a lot of people don’t understand why another actress than Margot Robbie would portray the harlequin, I think it’s worth remembering that Joker: Folie à Deux doesn’t take place in the same universe as Margot Robbie’s version. This means that there’s no need whatsoever to keep the same actress for continuity’s sake. Robbie’s Harley is evolving in the DCEU timeline, which is a big consequence for the character: her interpretation and representation as Quinn are meant to serve a bigger, more global picture.

This means that her version of the character is unfortunately bound to be restricted in some capacity when it comes to the adaptation of certain comic storylines and tones, for example. You can’t have an R-Rated Harley Quinn if the studio’s goal is to make PG movies to grow box office numbers. As a consequence, they had to write the character a certain way… while abandoning some crucial aspects.

What the DCEU has shown of Harley Quinn

READ MORE: Joker 2 Will Be Largely Set In Arkham Asylum

Robbie is widely accepted and loved as a colourful, fun, eccentric version of Harley in the DCEU. What I think is missing from her characterization, though, is the more profound exploration of her dark, haunted mind. This isn’t Robbie’s fault, of course. She’s been doing a terrific job. The previous regime, however, would be to blame, in my opinion. It’s now known that David Ayer’s Suicide Squad was supposed to initially showcase Harley and Joker’s completely twisted, sick relationship while diving into each other’s psyche.

However, the tone has gradually been changed after complaints of a much too dark tone for Zack Snyder’s Batman V Superman. The studio thought it could please the audience by adding more and more funky tones to Suicide Squad, which ended in a much different version of what Harley was supposed to be in the first place for this extended universe.

The DCEU’s Harley has suffered this change ever since. I’m not saying her representation is incorrect: I think it’s incomplete. It is too focused on female empowerment – I’m a woman, hear me out – without first diving into what actually led her to pursue this empowerment: the physical and mental abuse she first suffered. Gone are the representation of all her heavy trauma, her pains, her struggles and her abuse.

The DCEU purposefully skipped all that to directly give us a strong and confident Harley, tinted with a little bit of a troubled mind to make it spicy and exciting to the audience. She’s now a funny gal kicking ass, who we understand has past traumas… we’ve never actually seen. Well, we did see a few seconds of them here and there in the botched theatrical version of Suicide Squad. The DCEU hasn’t cared to dive into it ever again, to directly go to the badass sexualized part of Quinn.

I think this was the biggest disservice to the character as it takes away the part where she prevails from her pains and becomes the badass.

And here comes Lady Gaga, the new Harley Quinn

READ MORE: Christina Ricci Cast As Harley Quinn In New Harley & Joker Series

A lot of people fear that Gaga may replace Robbie, but this isn’t what it’s about, at all. On the one hand, you have Margot Robbie, playing an eccentric version of Harley Quinn for the DCEU. On the other, Lady Gaga. Award-winning actress and one of the greatest performers in the music industry, known for her struggles against mental health issues and her raw, sometimes brutal behaviours onstage. And she now comes to play the clown.

These two talented actresses aren’t in a competition to supplant the other: they’re in a partnership to complete each other.

Remember how dark, melancholic, grim and depressing the tone was in Todd Phillip’s Joker? How slowly the story unfolded, and how heavily troubled Arthur was? I don’t think Robbie’s wacky and energetic Harley fits this dark universe.

And although a lot of people fear the musical side of the sequel, once again let’s remember: with Joker in mind, I think that the sequel will be just as dark, if not even darker, especially because of those twisted musical moments. Now, we’ve heard that those sequences will take place in Harley’s mind and will act as a way for the character to distort her reality as she sees fit. The musical side may, therefore, very well help the disturbing aspect of the movie.

This is why Gaga is perfect. She could play a darker, more tortured, psychologically unstable version in Folie à Deux. Almost an animal-like version. Her talents as an actress aren’t to prove anymore, and I think she’s more than capable of letting the monster out – as she often does – and interpreting a completely out-of-control Harley. She could embody this twisted, dangerous Harley that’s missing from the DCEU.

Having both actresses play different – and just as relevant – versions of the clown would definitely benefit the character’s global legacy on the big screen. More aspects of her would be shown, allowing us to explore even more layers of this very complex character.

What Robbie can’t do in the DCEU, Gaga can do in Todd Phillips’s independent universe. That way, both performers would contribute to representing the character in a fully accurate way without letting anything aside due to ratings issues and box office goals.

Before we get into what the user revealed about the Ayer Cut, we have to mention the fact that the Release The Ayer Cut movement is a strong one on Twitter. However, it was never quite as strong as the Release The Snyder Cut movement, and I actually think that Ayer wasn’t in the same sort of position that Zack Snyder was. Snyder has a lot more backing and money behind him than Ayer does, and I feel as though it wasn’t quite as personal as it was for Snyder.

I’m also sure that David wanted to work with Warner Bros. Pictures again. Snyder, at least I think so, wasn’t as bothered because he knew that he could work for another studio and he’d be OK.

So, let’s get into what the user had to say about the Ayer Cut. Here’s the first tweet that they shared on the matter:

I had the honour of being shown ‘The Cut’ by @DavidAyerMovies
No bs. 2hrs 23m of incredible! A totally different story! Forget the theatrical. This movie has a deeper message – Admin 1

— ReleaseTheAyerCut (@RTAyerCutSS) October 6, 2022

The edit is complete in terms of timeline, sound etc . But, I would say theres a bit of polishing required on some scenes particularly the last act – effects wise. – Admin 1

‘There is hope’

— ReleaseTheAyerCut (@RTAyerCutSS) October 6, 2022

OK, to make it easier rather than having to read all the user’s tweets, I’m going to break down what they said here:

• The Ayer Cut is 2 hours 23 minutes long.
• The movie is very different from the theatrical version.
• It has a much deeper message than the theatrical cut.
• Jared Leto’s Joker steals the show.
• The Ayer Cut edit is basically finished.
• The movie’s final act needs a little bit of polishing as far as the editing’s concerned.
• Much more of Ben Affleck’s Batman in the movie.

So, it sounds as though the movie is pretty much finished and ready to be released in theatres or on HBO Max. However, I have to say that I am now convinced that the movie is going to be released theatrically in 2023. There have been reports that a mystery DC film is going to be released next year. I have a feeling that this “mystery DC film” is going to be David Ayer’s Suicide Squad, and I think they are going to call it that.

Before this Twitter user revealed that they had seen the Ayer Cut (and this news was then confirmed by David Ayer himself), I think that this is it! This is the moment that so many of us were waiting for. I’ve been desperate to see the Ayer Cut since I learned it existed. We were told that it could be released in 2022 on HBO Max. Now, that didn’t happen, but I’ve also learnt recently that the plan was to release the movie on HBO Max, but that decision was overturned by executives at Warner Bros. Pictures.

There have been a lot of website pages dedicated to the Ayer Cut and whether it’s going to be released or not. Well, I’m going to have to mention it here that we were told a while back that the movie was edited and there were plans to release the film on HBO Max. However, it seems as though the higher-ups at Warner Bros. Pictures prevented this from happening. We might go into what happened between Ayer and Warner Bros in a future article.

So, what happened? Well, a Twitter user called ReleaseTheAyerCut (@RTAyerCutSS) took to the social media platform to claim that they had been shown the Ayer Cut by David Ayer himself. Here’s what they wrote on Twitter:

I had the honour of being shown ‘The Cut’ by @DavidAyerMovies. No bs. 2hrs 23m of incredible! A totally different story! Forget the theatrical. This movie has a deeper message.

Now, I realise that some people might claim that this Twitter user was making it up. However, this particular user has been very vocal and active in the #ReleaseTheAyerCut movement. They might actually have been the account that started it and could be the catalyst in finally getting David Ayer’s cut of the movie released.

So, the thing that made everyone realise that this Twitter user was speaking the truth was that David Ayer himself revealed that it was true. He quote tweeted the tweet with a gif of Steve Carrell’s character in The Office and the caption ‘Facts’. Here’s the tweet in question:

This is actually pretty big news because it means that we could be one step closer to the Ayer Cut actually being released. I have a feeling that the movie could end up being released in 2023. There have been reports that a ‘mystery’ DC Comics film is to be released in 2023. I have a feeling that it could be a theatrical release of David Ayer’s Suicide Squad cut. I’m sure that the movie would do pretty well in cinemas as fans have been desperate to watch Ayer’s original cut of the film, which is said to be very different from the one we saw in 2016.

The Twitter user then revealed that Ayer actually let him watch the movie on his personal computer, which is just so cool! He then went on to say that Jared Leto’s Joker stole the show and that the movie was basically finished. He revealed: “The edit is complete in terms of timeline, sound etc . But, I would say there’s a bit of polishing required on some scenes particularly the last act – effects wise.” Ayer’s cut of the movie is 2 hours and 23 minutes long, which I think is kind of the perfect length. I genuinely hope that this movie ends up being released.

The post David Ayer Suicide Squad Cut Screening Confirmed appeared first on Small Screen.

There have been so many column inches and website pages devoted to the question of whether Cavill will ever get to return as Clark Kent in the DC films. I’ve seen people claim that he is coming back, and other people claim that he’s not going to come back because he’s not too interested in returning and wants too much money to play the role again. Well, it seems as though Cavill and Warner Bros Discovery have finally come to an agreement. I’ve never believed for one second that Cavill didn’t want to play Superman again. I genuinely felt that he wanted to play the role until he couldn’t physically do it anymore.

Every time I heard Cavill being interviewed about it, he sounded passionate about the character and said that he would love to don the cape and suit again! I just think that Warner Bros. Pictures has been so poorly managed and organised for so many years that they just never got their act together and couldn’t find the right project for Cavill’s Superman. The studio has been scrambling to try and keep its DC Films branch going for so many years now, and it looks like – finally – they have all agreed that the best way forward is to stick with the actors they’ve got.

We already knew that Ben Affleck’s Batman was going to return in The Flash movie and also in the upcoming Aquaman sequel. It also seems as though they are sticking with the likes of Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman and even Ezra Miller as The Flash. The only actor, now, that was part of the Justice League that doesn’t seem to be coming back is Ray Fisher who played Cyborg in the movie, and I think that he blew his chance to play the role by being so publically critical of Warner Bros and its executives.

Well, anyway, we are now getting a new report, courtesy of David Faraci, who’s the former editor-in-chief of the website Birth. Movies. Death., that Cavill will be playing Supes in a standalone Superman movie sequel. He revealed this during this news on the latest episode of his podcast, Marvelvision. He also gave a lot of credit to Dwayne Johnson for making it happen. Here’s what Faraci had to say on the matter:

I got some more information about this. It’s not, like, specific. It’s all behind-the-scenes stuff that I thought was kind of fascinating, which is that the reason why Henry Cavill has returned as Superman in Black Adam is because The Rock demanded it.

Like, he went hard, full-court press on Warner Bros. and made them go to Henry Cavill and they had to sign a new deal with Henry Cavill, including saying they were gonna develop a new Superman movie. And it was all because The Rock insisted.

He then added:

Not only is Henry Cavill gonna be in Black Adam, my understanding is they’re working on a Henry Cavill Superman movie.

Fans love this news!

Well, this news was then shared by the likes of FandomWire and The Direct, and it sent fans on social media wild because it’s pretty incredible news. Many people then took to social media to celebrate the news (or maybe I should say ‘report’) that Cavill will be coming back as Superman, not only in Black Adam, which we reported on yesterday, but also in his own Superman sequel!

Here’s just a snippet of some of the reactions to this report online:

So, it’s being reported that Superman will be involved in a post-credits scene in the upcoming Black Adam movie. The post-credits scene will reportedly see Dayne Johnson’s Black Adam be confronted by Amanda Waller and Superman. However, the reports also suggest that this scene will feature John Williams’ classic Superman theme and the Man Of Steel will be wearing a more classic suit. This would be the first time we’ve seen the British actor play the role since his brief appearance in Zack Snyder’s Justice League.

This was then backed up by a bunch of people on social media. This actually isn’t the first time that we’ve heard that Superman was going to be involved in a post-credits scene in Black Adam. It sounds like a fantastic post-credits scene to me, and I really, really hope that it ends up happening. I cannot wait to hear Superman say “We need to talk, Black Adam”, to Johnson’s take on the DC Comics character.

We do, however, have to address the elephant in the room here. We were informed that Superman wasn’t going to be in Black Adam. We received this information a while back, and if what the reports are suggesting is true, then it sounds as though this post-credits scene was filmed not too long ago. These sorts of scenes are often filmed at the very last minute and tend to be done in complete secrecy. It sounds as though this was the case with this Black Adam post-credits scene.

So, as far as the film’s concerned, Superman will not play an important part in it. Yes, he will be in the movie, but he won’t appear in the main feature. He’s basically going to be in a tagged-on scene at the very end of the film, and it sounds to me as though this was a last-minute addition to the movie’s theatrical release. Again, this is me taking these new reports at face value. It’s still very possible that this post-credits scene might not even be in the movie’s final cut. That said, I genuinely hope it will be because I want Superman to return to the DCEU.

Black Adam will be released in cinemas in the United States on October 19th, and in the United Kingdom on October 21st. Are you looking forward to seeing the movie?
