The Black Adam actor Dwayne Johnson finally commented on Henry Cavill exit from the DC Universe as Superman.
Johnson, 50, spoke on Cavill's exit as Superman from the franchise,
after the actor reprised the role of Clark Kent aka Superman in Black Adam
for the first time since 2017's Justice League.
The actor also
made an appearance in Zack Snyder's Justice League that released in
2021.
After confirming his return as Superman within less than three
months of Black Adam hitting the theaters, Cavill later announced his exit
from the franchise.
On the Oscars red carpet, while commenting on
Cavill's Superman exit, the Black Adam star connected the situation of the
Night Hunter star to a football team that is managed by new boss who decides
to replace the coach and the quarterback.
"All that I could do,
and that we could do, when we were making Black Adam was put our best foot
forward, surround ourselves with the best people and then also deliver the
best movie we could" he said.
He went further, 'our audience score was in the 90s, critics
took a couple a shots—that's just the business of it though. But I think
it's almost like when you have a pro-football team and your quarterback wins
championships, the head coach wins championships and then you have a new
owner. And a new owner comes in and says, 'not my coach, not my quarterback.
I'm gonna go with somebody new."
