Nobody expects the publication of Black Adam more than its leading man, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Of course, it’s not surprising that he was the film’s biggest fanboy, considering it was a passion project of his for about a decade before the cameras started rolling. Johnson has been promoting the film for some time, even teasing a possible fight with Superman. And even though the DC Extended Universe movie has been delayed again, it’s still going full steam ahead with the teasers. Now it seems mainly that the jungle cruise The actor can’t, won’t stop talking about how powerful his DC character is.
Given how (more) massive Dwayne Johnson has become in preparation for the superhero movie, it’s only right that the actor should brag about the anti-hero’s strength and power. All fans have seen his progress on his social media. This time was no different, with The Rock posting a behind-the-scenes photo to Instagram. The ever-loving fanboy and hype man for the latest DC entry, he dubbed the character a “protector” who shifts the “superhero paradigm.” To see why the jumanji The actor stayed Black Adam Conductor of the Hype Train, watch his full contribution below.
There’s nothing quite like receiving a hero manifest from one of WWE’s greatest showmen. He clearly wants followers to know that the revered DC character is about to create a major power shift within the DCEU. According to him, the ancient being will challenge the supremacy of the top 3 in the universe (Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman) as he poses a real threat. I’d say given the antihero’s comic background, he’s bound to create some problems in the growing cinematic universe. His menacing gaze in the photo is menacing in itself, and the actor’s massive size and bulging muscles only add to the intimidation factor.
By this point, fans are used to the actor-turned-wrestler flaunting his massive physique in behind-the-scenes photos. Dwayne Johnson was all hamstrings and biceps (which look like tree trunks) as he shared epic reshoot photos. All of this comes from his personal Iron Paradise, of course. Needless to say, he’s made the deal with physicality, and I fear for the Justice Society, who will brawl with Black Adam at some point during the film.
The Rock’s latest film is shaping up to be a massive production, as even the backdrop shows how the massive scope of the big-budget flick could transform DC’s “hierarchy.” This hydraulic crane appears to be an extension of the star’s muscular frame. The public has been waiting for a while, but luckily it won’t be too long before moviegoers can see the finished product. Until then, we’ll see if the actor talks more trash.
Of course, being the multihyphenate that he is, Dwayne Johnson has several films in the works, including his Christmas action film Red and an untitled video game adaptation. Black Adam hits theaters on October 21, and there are also other upcoming DC movies hitting theaters this year, including the Rock-led film DC League of Super Pets.
