It has long been known that Dwayne Johnson, better known to some as The Rock, would be playing the DC Comics character Black Adam in an upcoming film. On Saturday night, the film was officially revealed at the DC FanDome event as The Rock joined the special panel to discuss the upcoming movie.
The Rock, much like John Cena earlier today, is now officially part of the DC Entertainment Universe. He joins the ranks of actors like Margot Robbie, Henry Cavill, and Jason Momoa as one of their megastars dawning one of their comic characters. Time will tell if The Rock is able to deliver in his first superhero film (especially as a villain), but something tells us he will have no problem at all.
It was no secret that Johnson would be taking on the role, as he has been posting about it for months on his own Instagram ahead of the special DC FanDome event on Saturday. For fans, it was nice to finally see him dawn the Black Adam suit once and for all.

The Rock only continues his reign as the highest-paid actor in the world and his addition to DC Entertainment will only keep that trend going. Wrestling fans are probably hoping that someday this man could slow down to have one more program in WWE for the perfect final match. For now, they will have to keep watching him on the big screen as “Black Adam” is sure to be another blockbuster in his collection.
”Black Adam” releases in theaters on December 22, 2021.
