Make way people, Dwayne The Rock Johnson is the upcoming superhero!
He recently tweeted the video footage from Black Adam by DC Fandome, after attempting to get his first strike into that particular genre.
It’s originally conceived to be the arrival to Shazam in the comics (comic lovers would know), but the character, Black Adam who’s also know as Man in Black soon became a popular standalone anti-hero!
Here’s the tweet if you haven’t watched it already:
THEY NEEDED A HERO.

Whoaa, that’s cool. We love it! Well, we’ve got to give it to Dwayne for standing strong through the long and rocky journey with this project. It took him about a decade, but we’re glad he made it.
On the other hand, Shazam made his live-action movie debut to much critical acclaim, and now fans are a little excited to see the two characters face-off in the next few years… (if the pandemic allows).
Dwayne made it clear that apart from battling Shazam, the movie will also set sights on the Justice League and Man in Black actually has the potential to become a fan-favourite anti-hero for the DCEU, just like Loki in the MCU. The movie will be directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, with Noah Centineo rumoured to be playing a supporting role. It's expected to be released in cinemas in 2021.
Here’s what Twitter has to say about it:
