Black Adam may have only been in cinemas for a matter of days, but the news of a certain mid-credit scene has been the talk of the town for quite some time already.
Said moment may reshape all DC hierarchies, setting up an epic confrontation between Black Adam and Superman, with Henry Cavill reprising the role in an unexpected cameo.
Following the film's release, Black Adam producer Hiram Garcia has weighed in on how "frustrating" having that scene leaked was in a chat with Slash Film.

"Oh my God, it is so frustrating. You work so hard, but look, we understand that this ending and this dream, this family dream that we had to bring to life, we knew that it was going to have an effect on the fans that were just like, 'Oh my God!'" Garcia said.
What to Read Next
"We heard them begging for it for so long. We've been wanting it for so long. It's disappointing that it leaks. You hope that the fans that are so passionate about it really do their best to block it out so that they can go and get the movie and enjoy it."
Garcia also explained that, no matter what measures are in place to prevent leaks and spoilers, they spread "like wildfire".

"We've been working with Warner Bros. to try and get some of those things under control, but really, it spreads like wildfire. It's something you always know you have to deal with when you start testing the movie," he said.
The latest outing in the DC universe, Black Adam stars Dwayne Johnson in the titular antihero role, with Sex/Life's Sarah Shahi, Pierce Brosnan, Quintessa Swindell, Aldis Hodge, Marwan Kenzari and To All The Boys' Noah Centineo also starring.
Black Adam is out now in cinemas.
