Black Adam post-credits scenes, explained *spoilers*

After Teth-Adam defeats big bad Ishmael, the movie has a happy ending as the anti-hero smashes the king's throne and claims the name Black Adam. But he's been on Amanda Waller's radar since the start of the movie – she sent the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Justice Society of America after 🅠him, then Teth-Adam was kept in suspended animation at a Task Force X black site before breaking free. Clearly, he's on Waller's radar: and she comes to speak to 𝕴him. 

A drone displays Amanda to Teth-Adam via video link. She tells him he has her attention, then declares Khandaq his prison. Black Adam responds that no one on Earth can stop him, and she reminds him that she has people not from Earth at her disposal. 🐽The anti-hero challenges her to send them all and breaks Waller's drone. 

We see a familiar silhouette, and out of the mist comes none other than… Superman! That's right, Henry Cavill's Superman has returned to the DCEU. He tells Black Adam that it's "been a while since anyone's made the world this nervous," most likely referring to himself – remember, Superman is the reason the original 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Suicide Squad was formed, and Batman spent a while trying to kill him in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Superman then tells Blac𓆉k Adam, "We should talk." Johnson's character smirks, and thaꦬt's the end of the scene.  

As revealed by , securing Cavill's return for the movie was no small feat. P♏er the report, the idea to bring him into the film came during reshoots earlier in 2022. DC Films boss Walter Hamada is reported to have said no to the cameo, so Johnson went to Warner Bros. Pictures bosses Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy, who said yes. Negotiations then took place before Labor Day (September 4) and𒀰 the scene itself was filmed in mid-September. That's a very tight turnaround for an October release. 

Johnson has also addressed the long journey to bringing♔ Cavill back onscreen as Superman. "We fought for years to bring you back. They always said no," he wrote on . "But to [producers Dany and Hiram Garcia] & myself "no" was not an option. We can't build out our DCEU w/out the 🀅world's greatest superhero. And fans will always come first. Welcome home. I'll see you down the road."

The scene seems to be setting up an eventual Black Adam vs. Superman showdown, which 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Johnson has teased. "We will create Black Adam for him to be the most powerful and unstoppable force on this planet," the actor told . "The most powerful and unstoppable force in the entire universe has been on the side lines for too long." Whether that film ever materializes remains to be seen, but Warner Bros. is reportedly ಌkeen on getting Cavill back for a second Superman solo movie – and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Cavill has now confirmed his return and teased more to come in the future. 

"I wanted to make it official that I am back as Superman," Cavill said in a video posted to . "And the image you see on t💮his post and what you saw in Black Adam are just a very small taste of things to come. So there's a lot to be thankful for, and I'll get to that in time, but I wanted to thank you guys most of all. Thank you for your support and thank you for your patience. I promise it will be rewarded." 

Plus, J🐭ohnson has said that a Black Ad💯am vs. Superman showdown isn't coming straightaway. "That's definitely not the next step," he wrote on . "We have a lot more lo🐽ng te♑rm storytelling to do before that historic DCEU showdown and more new characters to establish." 

It's unclear at the moment, then, if we'll be seeing Black Adam again in a di꧑rect sequel, but more from the character certainly seems to be on the card🌌s. It might not be in a straightforward sequel that we next see Teth-Adam, either, but instead in a DC crossover of some kind – potentially including Superman too.
