As it is known that the DCEU suffered a lot of pushbacks after the change of management at Warner Brothers, it became important for them to produce something that can resurrect the entire DC movie franchise. Thus the production house took one last shot and produced Black Adam, making it the biggest film for the franchise this year.
Therefore, fans after seeing the hype and the love for his character by Dwayne Johnson, it became a hot take on the fact that Black Adam can be the savior of the entire DC universe, not figuratively but literally.
