Blog King, Mass Appeal
HOLLYWOOD — Coronavirus be damned, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is keeping himself busy as a beaver these days. The 48-year-old entertainer is the host of “Titan Games,” he recently purchased the XFL for $15 million, and now we’ve learned he’s landed a cool “Justice League” gig. Yessir, Dwayne will portray Middle Eastern superhero Black Adam in the upcoming self-titled DC Comics flick. During his virtual appearance at Saturday’s digital DC FanDome extravaganza, the former WWE star explained to fans the valorous dramatis personae he’ll bring to life on the big screen.
THANK YOU #DCFanDome for that absolutely electrifying love and hype for our #BLACKADAM panel.
We’re deeply committed and passionate to the bone to deliver a story you’ll love and build out our DC Universe. #ASlaveNoMore #Rage #TheManInBlack #BlackAdam⚡️@sevenbucksprod pic.twitter.com/fetjegws6K— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) August 23, 2020
“Superheroes have to exhibit a little bit of restraint when it comes to taking care of the bad guys, if you will,” Dwayne elucidated. “This idea that you can take all of Black Adam’s powers and he does not practice restraint, that makes for a really powerful combination, one explosive (and) very dangerous. And very likable, to me at least.”
The wrestling icon also appreciates the fact Black Adam was a slave. “He’s felt the burdens and pressures of a larger entity holding him down until he can’t take it anymore,” Dwayne said. “When you come from that place, it’s just a very different energy and it informs how he operates and delivers justice.”
If you’re a DC Comics fan, there’s plenty to look forward to.
“Wonder Woman 1984” will hit movie theaters October 2nd.
“The Suicide Squad” will premiere August 2021.
“The Batman” will premiere October 2021.
And “Black Adam” will premiere December 2021.
Now that’s a Warner Bros. lineup for your ass.
Watch the teasers.
Share your thoughts.
I’m getting God of War vibes from this. Egyptian style 😮😃😄😁
Yes Black Adam is the king bow down B* 😏
I don’t care if this is an animated teaser with Dwayne Johnson as Black Adam, The Batman, Justice League Snyder Cut and James Gun’s Suicide Squad it is a good time to be a DC fan
he looks nothing like Black Adam
Wow…. Rock has joined DC…. now john cena will join marvel… We will see a rivarly in hollywood too…… Lol
Black KRATOS❓❓😂
This is gone be a big hit of all time
Dwayne Johnson is in every freakin’ movie.
Black Adam: “After 5000 years, no one will ever stop me again”
Me: Welcome to 2020, I guess you haven’t met Corona yet…
Social distancing in theater?
I hate dc
someone give him a GOD OF WAR movie
Black Adam : No one will stop me ! COVID-19: Right !
Black Adam: let’s make it 5001 years
carona:😅🤣🤣
Would be a good movie if its R rated
I don’t care about DC super heroes. I am only excited for this movie because of Dwayne Johnson.
Oh God, THE HYPE IS REAL…..
the Rock 🔥💥
Call Him Dwyane , Call Him Adam But For Me He Will Always Be “THE ROCK” 🔥🔥🔥
The Rock, as the Rock.
Dwayne the Rock Johnson:
The most electrifying man in the DC Universe
The Rock should be Lex Luthor.
looks like black lightning, the suit
Meh. I don’t see this as being very good. Dwayne isn’t as good of an actor as people think he is. Plus, he’s almost 50 years old. You seriously couldn’t find anyone a bit younger to play the part?
Wwe: The Rock
Reality: Dwayne Johnson
Dc: Black Adam
The rocks biggest mistake joining dc
There’s no way the Rock will be able to cut it in this role.
Thank u DC for releasing so much good content to help us get thru this let down of 2020 ❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰👑👑👑
After 5,000 years he picks the best year to return in 2020 pandemic! 😂😂😂
THEY BETTER GIVE HIM HAIR🤔 AND POINTY EARS 👂, AND AN ACCENT. OR IT’LL LOOK BAD. HIS SUIT LOOKS REALLY COMPLICATED TOO🤔 HOPEFULLY THEY’LL FIX THESE ISSUES 👍
I think Dwayne is a perfect choice for Black Adam lol
I’m not gonna lie, after seeing this teaser I’m starting to think that maybe Dwayne Johnson wasn’t the right choice for this role, I love Dwayne Johnson but his personality just doesn’t seem like the right fit for a character like Black Adam, I don’t want Black Adam to be a guy who cracks jokes while fighting, is oozing with charisma and makes everything feel lighthearted and fun, Black Adam shouldn’t be a “fun” character, he should be a dark, intimidating character who means serious business, so my big fear is that the character is gonna feel too much like Dwayne Johnson and not enough like Black Adam
This Movie will B BADASS
The rock can’t act
Dwayne Johnson is super excited about his role which makes me super excited to see the movie 😊 I think he poured and gave it his all. ❤ Hope him and his family recover from COVID 🙏
