Dwayne Johnson’s reputation as ‘Franchise Viagra’ takes a serious hit after ‘Black Adam’ goes limp
In news that nobody was surprised by in the slightest, Dwayne Johnson and his Black Adam franchise don’t have a part to play in James Gunn and Peter Safran’s vision for the future of the DCU, which is an embarrassing comedown for the man who claimed to be changing the hierarchy of power.
Having spent 15 years sticking with the project through thick and thin, Black Adam was finally unleashed into theaters in October, only to receive a critical pounding and an underwhelming tally at the box office. Joining Henry Cavill on the scrapheap, Johnson may be putting on a dignified face, but you can guarantee the demise of his planned corner of the comic book universe is going to sting.
