Johnson recently reconciled with Vin Diesel to return to the Fast and the Furious franchise both for Fast X's post-credits and a new spinoff, and is also working with Disney for a live-action Moana remake and Netflix on two Red Notice sequels. While Black Adam may have proven a short tenure for Johnson in the DCEU, he still has plenty on his plate for the near future. Considering Gunn looks to be rebooting nearly everything, except for Wonder Woman 3 according to Gal Gadot, there may not be room for Johnson's ideas. As such, the star/producer's confirmation that his time is seemingly at an end in the franchise could point towards these talks not proceeding in a meaningful direction for either party. Interestingly, Johnson had previously indicated that, in spite of Black Adam 2's cancelation, he was in talks with Gunn and Safran for another way to stay a part of the DCU, be it labeling the sequel under the Elseworlds banner the former has confirmed will exist, or as a new character.

There were so many changes in leadership. And at that time, as we were creating Black Adam, developing it, shooting Black Adam, we got knocked down a little bit because of COVID and the shutdowns, got back up.
