However, Gunn reverted to DJ’s tweet by saying he is looking forward to working with him. Even though The Rock will not be Black Adam anytime soon, his production company, Seven Bucks Productions, will work with DC.
Gunn wrote, “Love @TheRock & I’m always excited to see what he & Seven Bucks do next. Can’t wait to collaborate soon. 🙏”

With the debacle going around in DC, fans are not ready to believe Gunn’s reply to Johnson’s comments. But it seems they are good friends behind the curtains.
Fans don’t believe James Gunn really wants to “collaborate” with Dwayne Johnson in the future
Fans instantly had their reaction when Gunn replied to DJ’s tweet. They think that the Co-CEO of DCEU was being insincere on Twitter by saying, “Can’t wait to collaborate soon. ”

In the comments section, the DCEU fans shared their anger by taking a shot at the Guardians of Galaxy Franchise director. Surprisingly, they blamed Gunn for “backstabbing” Cavill and Johnson by canceling their movies in future DC projects.
No collaboration with The Rock in the future?

The above reactions by the fans clearly show how much fans were rooting for Black Adam sequel amidst all the controversy. Clearly, we can assume The Rock was partly successful in changing the hierarchy in the DC Extended Universe.
