The DC Extended Universe has never been without its issues since its inception in 2013. Tonal shifts, no real direction, huge flops, and plenty of troubles off-screen meant the DCEU was something of a problem child.

Recently, moves have been made to steady the ship, and take what is now known as the DCU into a brighter future. Mega changes are coming, but some of the biggest have been the cancellation of franchises, and confirmation that certain characters will no longer be appearing under the new banner.

For example, Wonder Woman 3 has been scrapped - not too surprising after the reception to WW84 - as has what was arguably the franchise's most exciting prospect.

Dwayne Johnson has a knack for boosting failing franchises, and he gave his everything to Black Adam. Fans loved it - in particular the long-awaited return of Henry Cavill in the movie's post-credits scene - and the thought of seeing the two go toe-to-toe down the line was amazing. However, it's since been confirmed that neither Henry Cavill's Man of Steel nor Black Adam have a place in the DCU's immediate future.
