In a further tweet, Johnson said playing Black Adam “was a departure” for him from previous characters he had portrayed adding in a tweet, “Our director, Jaume Collet-Serra helped me tremendously and a big advocate. Look forward to building out the DCEU from here.”
The Rock called Black Adam the beginning of “the new era of the DC Universe” and his vision is to have his character battle Superman in a sequel. Johnson was the biggest proponent of having Henry Cavill return to the DC Universe saying, “‘No’ was never an option.”
Johnson teased his fans on Twitter that the Black Adam team is now “working on ‘what’s next.’”
“Exciting times. Stay tuned,” he added.
