And the moment we were making Black Adam, developing it, filming Black Adam, we were kind of confused about COVID and the closures, we pulled ourselves together. There were a lot of changes in the leadership. And, as you know, every time you have a company, especially a company of this size and grandeur, a publicly traded company, and you have all these leadership changes, you have people who constantly interfere in the creative side and make decisions, with with which you may not agree. , agree. For me, it will always be the big unknown. I’ve had a lot of character in my career, a big exit, even if with China they could make maybe $100 or $200 million more.

So I think Black Adam was one of those films that got caught in the web of new leadership. But in the end it’s like a new owner buys a league team and says he doesn’t care how many championships you win, he’ll build his own new team.”
