Dwayne Johnson says a “Black Adam” sequel won’t be part of the next phase of DC movies from Warner Bros. Discovery under its new leadership.
Released this fall, “Black Adam” underperformed at the box office and was a disappointment for Warner Bros. due to its sizable budget.
The decision to axe the sequel comes under the new leadership of James Gunn and Peter Safran at Warner Bros. Discovery DC Comics film and TV unit.
Last month, Gunn, who directed “The Suicide Squad,” and Safran, who produced “Aquaman,” was brought in to bring new life to the DC Studios.
