So as you guys can see we are cooking up something pretty badass and and certainly
a lot of fun that we are all excited about to deliver to you guys um and I can't wait to show
you more you know I always thought that it might be cool to hang out with Superman that would be
cool right I mean we're kind of similar in terms of our powers our strengths our speeds because
look at the end of the day you never know Black Adam and Superman could become friends
or they won't who knows maybe we'll see but before I go I want you guys to help me out with something
it's something that's pretty important I need you guys to help me get a message out to uh
to some of the other ones some of the other DC superheroes
let's let Flash Shazam Aquaman Wonder Woman Batman and Superman let's let them know something things
will never be the same because the hierarchy of power in the DC Universe is about to change
Welcome back everyone it's Charlie turns out the hierarchy of the DC Universe did not change or
at least change in the way that The Rock was expecting he just revealed on his social media
accounts that he was basically out as Black Adam Black Adam too will not be happening there have
also been a lot of interesting details about what went down behind the scenes because James
Gunn recasting rebooting the entire DC movies apparently the rock had been cooking something
way bigger there was a bunch of drama behind the scenes I'll explain what was going on and what his
plans had been there's no one on this planet that can stop me boom if you're new to the channel be
sure to subscribe to get all the videos James Gunn did say that he'd be revealing all of DC
Phase One like the new DC Universe of movies in January so we won't actually have to wait that
long before finding out what like the first batch of movies will be in his new timeline of DC movies
with the new actors he already announced that the new Young Superman movie is going to be a
big part of that so of course I'll do videos for everything that they continue to reveal but in the
past few weeks you probably saw the rock posting a bunch about the Black Adam movie in Black Adam
too so the first Black Adam movie underperformed financially in a big way a bunch of the Hollywood
trades the website started reporting that there wasn't going to be a Black Adam to now like
the chances for sequels basically had gone away because the movie underperformed and in response
The Rock leaked a balance sheet for the movie to deadline and made a bunch of public posts about
how the movie would actually be profitable it would earn up to 40 to 50 million dollars
when figuring in toy sales and Merch this was before James Gunn started to announce the end
of the Justice League characters in The Reb boot of the DC movies just a little while after The
Rock has started to make a bunch of noise about Black Adam too all the plans he'd made for the
future of the characters James Gunn comes out and starts canceling DC movies and announcing
that actors are out they announced Wonder Woman 3 is basically canceled and even though he tried to
be very nice about the way he talked about it Gal Gadot is effectively out as Wonder Woman they'll
probably recast Henry Cavill who'd been a very big part of The Rock's push to bring Superman his
version of the Man of Steel back in the future of the Black Adam movies announces they just recast
him as Superman the new Superman movie that James good announced he was writing was for
a young Superman like Superman year two they're doing the same thing with Superman that they did
with the young Robert Pattinson's Batman character so one of the big linchpins of The Rock's plans
was effectively out don't cry for Henry Cavill though he's moving on to a Warhammer franchise
he himself will be helping to craft to make as many Warhammer mini puns as possible crafting
is a big part of that Universe probably an even bigger part of the universe than actually winning
those games I already did a whole separate video for the trailer he released for that so I'll put
a link at the end of this and down the description below I'm very happy for him he'll announce more
for that soon after the year that Ezra Miller has been having we all expected him to be out
after The Flash movie no matter what which is why no one is questioning his fate like oh he's
definitely out my name is Ezra Miller and I am criminally excited to be a part of the Justice
League Ray Fisher had so many problems with the powers that be at Warner Brothers this
past year that he's been out for a while like he was supposed to be in The Flash movie early
on but it sounds like when they actually started making that movie they rewrote it because of all
the problems he was having with the powers that be at Warner Brothers they already announced that
Jason momoa's Aquaman 2 will be his last movie in the dceu as Aquaman and he's probably coming back
as a version of Lobo in James Gunn's rebooted DCU that was all the noise that he was making
a while ago too like he's so happy to be able to do what he wanted to do which is play a version
of Lobo and he will make an awesome version of Lobo like we'd all been fan casting him as Lobo
long before Zack Snyder cast him as Aquaman he here's where it gets a little bit funny because
it's still a developing situation like actors are still coming out and saying oh I'm totally
not going to be recast Zachary Levi being Chief among them like he seems optimistic that he's
going to continue with Shazam in the new DC movies under James Gunn I have no idea what's ultimately
going to happen to me I think I'm in a pretty good position I think we made a great movie I
think it's going to do well reasonably well I hope so but again regardless of that if they decide at
some point that hey this is the way we gotta go I mean them you know them is the breaks that's
how it goes and I hope that I hope that people enjoyed at whatever point I finished playing
the role of Shazam I hope people enjoyed my tenure in playing the role and that they come with me to
whatever else I get to go and do that's it okay so I don't want to it's it's hard for me to see all
these random comments and and and like basically lies and things that people were throwing around
online and not want to respond because I hate lies I hate deceits I hate Injustice so much
um and so I want to set record straight by the way so does James he's been doing this for a long time
that's why he's so active on Twitter because he really wants people to know what's up truly and
wanting to set records straight and so it's you know that that's why you'll see act action from
me or him or other people coming to defense it's not because we want to get tied up on some random
argument with an Internet troll it's because we're trying to help cut through all of the this random
you know deceitful banter that just keeps going around and around because a lot of people who
are very good kind people who really like Shazam or these other things are getting worried like oh
is this all falling apart is this all going away everyone just take a breath I know we've seen some
characters some actors that are taking an exit and I know that's difficult that's difficult for
even me you know what I mean I was hoping I got to work with a lot of it but it's just not the
way it's gonna go down right now and I I think you all need to whoever out there is still like
all drummed up and pissed off like just trust that James is so look if you haven't watched
what he did with guardians which was a total Niche property that he actually brought really awesome
life to and his reboot of Suicide Squad that was better than the first one he really made something
incredible there he understands comic books guys he understands World building he understands how
to do right by the Canon and also by the by the characters and also by the audience and Peter's
there to be an increase an incredible Diplomat and business person I've worked with him now for years
just breathe it's uh it's gonna be okay it's gonna be better than okay they're also still releasing
the three other DC movies that are coming out next year despite all the drama they want those
to perform as well as they can financially but the plan right now in the DC movies is that like
90 or more of the DC actors are going to be recast Zachary Levi's chances of continuing
are extremely small especially because all the kids from those movies that are a big part of
the Shazam movies are aging up so quickly like by the time they would make Shazam 3 they would
all be adults themselves so kind of defeat the purpose of doing the Shazam movies the outside
hope now is that because they're releasing all those movies next year is that when The Flash
movie comes out because they're doing a version of Flashpoint already they'll just rework the
ending a little bit that will explain that all these reboots that are happening this brand new
timeline that's going to start will be because of Flashpoint just blame the flash for everything
sure is a nice timeline there really suck if somebody just went and messed it up but the even
bigger behind the scenes news you probably also heard when The Rock now announced that he was out
as Black Adam were all the plans that he'd been trying to make on his own like he was hyping the
hierarchy of power in the DC Universe was about to change for a couple years now based on what
was revealed turns out what he meant is that he was personally trying to establish Black Adam as
the focal point of all the upcoming DC movies like Justice League 2 everything his Black Adam would
be the most important character he even turned down the chance to have Cameo scenes in Shazam
2 in The Flash movie when Warner Brothers offered them to him before October before James Gunn was
hired they revealed that the current heads of DC at the time were going to use The Flash movie to
set up a larger 10-year Plan Building towards a movie version of crisis on infinite Earth they
were going to use all the upcoming DC movies that were coming out next year to set that up
there were a bunch of special Cameo scenes they filmed for that like Henry Cavill filmed the Cameo
scene for The Flash movie where they set up the new crisis movie Ben Affleck's Batman also did
something similar in Aquaman to post credit scene that he filmed in all the plans that The Rock was
trying to make it DC for his Black Adam character were complete greatly separate from what the other
powers that be that Warner Brothers were trying to do with the characters so there's this big tug of
war behind the scenes at Warner Brothers before James Gunn came on and had the Black Adam movie
earned over a billion dollars at the box office he might have had a chance of pulling some of
those plans off like he might have had a chance of continuing James Gunn was hired shortly after
that though wanted to reboot DC movies in a big way recast almost everybody and start fresh with
the new timeline slightly different backstories for all the characters it just sounds like the
Black Adam movie underperforming financially in a big way the rock having very public fights
with Warner Brothers in behind the scenes issues probably with James Gunn too strong disagreements
is the political term they'd probably use for it like we had strong disagreements about the future
of Black Adam inside the DC Universe that probably just sealed the deal James Gunn was like I have no
plans for Black Adam in the phase one of the new DC movies so sort of like the rock was engaged
in this bare knuckle brawling match with Warner Brothers behind the scenes for the future of what
the DC movies would be then James Gunn comes in as the ringer and just wipes the Slate clean is
like no we're not doing any of that we're going to do what I want to do he's supposed to be DC's
new Kevin feige so naturally he doesn't want to have to compete with a bunch of like really big
movie star egos in the future that's why I'm kind of hoping that when they do recast a lot of these
characters they go with relatively unknown actors the characters are so big you don't have to cast
like a really huge actor in the role for any of these big Justice League characters there's
still a ton of questions like I said James Gunn said he would reveal what like the full DC Phase
One of movies is going to be in a couple weeks it sounds like they're trying to make Superman
the focal point of this new DC Universe not so much Batman which is what they tried to do before
like 10 Batman movies for every one Superman movie right now it sounds like some of not all but some
of the Suicide Squad characters under James Gunn will continue in most of The Peacemaker
characters everyone click here for that new Henry Cavill Warhammer trailer video to learn about the
future of his character and click here for that new Loki season 2 trailer video in Easter eggs
thank you so much for watching everyone stay safe and I'll see you guys is the next one!
