There is nothing that Dwayne Johnson could have done about Black Adam. The man tried his hardest with marketing and production, as well as giving his all in the movie as the main character. But the world was just not ready for the movie and it wasn’t the glorious success that it was supposed to be. Add to that the way that news reporters and media took to the movie was horrendous. But after everything that Johnson did for the movie, he deserves a good paycheck. But this news piece of news reveals that DC was more inclined to pay more for a Henry Cavill mistake in Justice League than paying Johnson.
DC reportedly paid more money to clear the Justice League mistake than Dwayne Johnson for his passion project
Fandomwire recently reported that DC had to pay $24 million to remove Henry Cavill’s moustache in the Justice League. Comparing that to Johnson’s pay for Black Adam, which was $22.5 million, is unfathomable, to say the least. While Black Adam may have not met the standards set for it, it far surpassed Justice League in box office and critical appreciation. So, DC certainly got the shorter end of the stick with the superheroes assemble movie.

The whole ordeal about the moustache was this:
Zack Snyder had to leave the shooting for Justice League for personal reasons. But when Josh Wheddon had come to replace him, Cavill had moved on to Mission Impossible – Fallout. This movie required him to sport a moustache. This is why he denied shaving it off and thus DC CGI-ed the thing out of the movie.
