Black Adam 2 unlikely to happen despite Dwayne Johnson seemingly confirming sequel

Black Adam 2 is seemingly dead on its feet after new DC plans emerged. In a major report from The Hollywood Reporter, Dwayne Johnson’s superhero franchise is one of the victims of new DC Studios heads James Gunn and Peter Safran’s plans going forwards. THR notes that a sequel is "unlikely" because, despite "the hype surrounding the movie of launching a new corner of DC, a lot of it led by star Dwayne Johnson," the movie has not performed as well as hoped at the box office.
