Dwayne Johnson is a busy person and is always up to something, be it in Hollywood or his business venture. Similarly, after his DCEU film Black Adam, The Rock has his upcoming football league, XFL making its re-debut next year in February.
Unfortunately, it seems not all the fans are excited with the XFL because of the recent scenario involving DC and Henry Cavill. Since James Gunn fired 39-year-old actor and DJ hasn’t said a word over the same.

However, the maximum comments he received weren’t something he might have expected. The fans flooded with replies asked why Johnson has commented nothing on Henry Cavill being fired from his role as Superman from DCEU.
DC fans bash Dwayne Johnson for not commenting on Henry Cavill and talking about XFL
It excited The Rock about Henry Cavill returning as Superman, starting with a cameo in Black Adam. However, before any plans started off, Jamesa Gunn shared about recasting Superman. Therefore, the British actor would never wear the cap again.
The WWE legend hinted Cavill’s return in almost every interview until it was confirmed by the studio. However, he hasn’t given his views over the recent scenario, which angered the fans. There, they shared their reactions under the tweet in which DJ shared ZOA energy joining XFL as an exclusive energy drink.
This user pointed out how DJ used Superman for a cameo knowing the future of Henry Cavill was uncertain in the studio.
He pushed for a Superman cameo -a character everyone knew it was impossible to ensure permanency for- and got it. WB has indulged his every whim just for his movie to bomb, for him to pretend it somehow didn’t, and for all these idiotic decisions to backfire. (2/2)

So I think what everyone is trying to say is you're the only hope we have of getting Henry back and we could definitely use you as the real life superhero you tend to be right now.

So Mr Hierarchy continues to tweet shit instead of addressing the elegant in the room.
You and your agent did Henry Cavill dirty to try to improve Black Adam numbers, yet failed to do so and ruined that man his most iconic character in the process.#FireJamesGunn #BoycottWB https://t.co/dW7hYXGbrH

The above reactions give a hint on how much fans want to listen to what the Teth Adam star has to say.
Did Black Adam earn a profit?
DCEU was massively optimistic with Black Adam. The primary reason was because Dwayne Johnson was in the title role. However, Black Adam earned a box-office collection of $389 million until today.
