Johnson

It was only a matter of time really. Dwayne The Rock Johnson was always going to enter the superhero arena eventually.

Warning: This article contains spoilers for Black Adam The biggest talking point of Black Adam came well after the movie ended, and Dwayne Johnson has made sure everyone knows how hard he fought for it. Over a decade since the DC Extended Universe began, the franchise has gone through a series of ups and downs but nothing symbolized the uncertainty quite like Henry Cavill and Man of Steel. Despite kicking off the universe and starring across several of the films, it seems as though the…

Luckily, Black Adam star, Dwayne Johnson has come to settle the debate as to whether or not a superhero needs to kill and destroy so many lives in order to save the world. And helping Johnson with this ethical dilemma are two Funko Pops from the film. In a video released by CBR, Johnson moderates the…

The Black Adam promotional tour has reached London, and leading man Dwayne Johnson decided to take an alternate approach to embodying his character while posing for pictures in the U.K. capital. Although the DC anti-hero is known as the Man in Black, Johnson decided to rock some serious pink as he hung out with a collection of his co-stars on the city’s rooftops.

Dwayne Johnson’s entry into the DC Extended Universe will happen with the super-antihero film Black Adam, which releases worldwide this week. And the first reviews for the action extravaganza are out, which call the film ‘neither the best, nor the worst’.

Credit: Warner Bros. The latest rebirth of the DC Extended Universe is here with Black Adam, but it could be yet another false dawn as its Rotten Tomatoes score is unleashed on audiences. Hyped up at its premiere as being potentially the best superhero movie of the year, and being one of DC’s finest, it appears it was all a façade as the first critic reactions have poured in. Despite the immense star power and a fresh start, Black Adam looks set to continue one of the more worrying trends from Warner Bros. DC…

The DCEU’s ongoing struggle to cement any sort of canon or continuity has become a running joke, with Warner Bros. unable to keep directors, stars, or even release dates in any level of consistency.

The best thing about Black Adam is also the worst thing about it. DC’s latest mega superhero film has a surprisingly compact story that takes place over just a few short days. Everything unfolds almost like it’s in real time, keeping the action and story so propulsive that, at moments, you can barely catch your breath.
