There is nothing wrong that Dwayne Johnson could do for Black Adam, or so the internet thought. It took only one interview to make Johnson the butchering slaughter of the internet’s hate. But on the other side of things, The Rock is being heralded as the savior that DC fans all around needed. So you might be wondering what caused Johnson to become such a divided figure in the DC fanbase.
Going around the world and giving interviews at every possible moment, Johnson is taking a victory lap around the world before Black Adam drops, this Friday. During this run, the Brahma Bull has been making a lot of remarks about the process of making the movie. But one thing is that he is hinting at a possible return which fans have been going crazy about.

Johnson said it took them 6 years three times in a less than a minute interview. He really wants us to focus on it.
Damn bro say it a couple more times maybe I’ll get it tattooed 😭🙏🏽

6 years is not bad for a tattoo, but in what context? Someone making their return after 6 years of their last movie with DC.
You talking about spoilers fr?

People don’t like it at all when people talk spoilers, but this is new for the internet when the actor intentionally talks about it in the interviews before the movie’s release.

While it is for many things, Johnson talking about a post-credit scene on his world tour for the movie is funnier than anything on the internet right now.
Man i swear the DCEU's bar is so low that the only reason ppl would ever watch this movie is see a post credit scene of Henry Cavill Superman saying five words. 😂😂😂

The haters of the movie are loving to watch Johnson make poor decisions in interviews. But only time will tell how much of an impact this promotion has on Black Adam’s box office collection.
The Rock should be the new head of DC Entertainment… I think he could give Kevin Feige a run for his money 🤷🏻♀️

While Kevin Feige has been killing it with Marvel lately, with She-Hulk and Werewolf in the Night, Johnson contending for superhero movie leading man could be a possible future for DC moving forward.
