“Sounds More Like Ego Than Anything Else”: Fans Go on a Rant Against Dwayne Johnson After The Rock Admits a Major Fact About DC’s Black Adam

Dwayne Johnson recently stirred the pot by talking about his forthcoming film, Black Adam. Despite usually being a fan favorite, DJ sometimes receives criticism for his comments as well. He received backlash for calling the DC Universe ‘The Black Adam Universe’ in a post.

His most recent tweet, in which he confessed to making a significant revelation about his upcoming movie, has now drawn the ire of fans. Speaking about his movie, The People’s Champ revealed that the original plan was to merge Shazam and Black Adam into one film, but he strived to have his own stand-alone movies for fans to enjoy.

Well, this is not the first time he’s disclosing this. Earlier, before the trailer launch, he revealed that the two origin stories of Shazam! and Black Adam were supposed to be combined into one movie, but he later recognized that this wouldn’t work.

The Rock stated, “The original plan, maybe five or six years ago I think, was to tell the two origin stories of Shazam! and Black Adam in the same movie. That’s what we had worked on… the script was delivered. When we all read the script, I immediately felt like, ‘We have to separate these two movies.”

In a recent post, Johnson backed up his claim by noting that he has pushed hard to give both characters—along with the Justice Society of America—stand-alone movies for the fans to enjoy. Also, it will preserve Black Adam’s villainous tone when extending the DC Universe.

Recent criticism from fans on Dwayne Johnson’s tweet

Following this post, numerous fans responded negatively to Dwayne Johnson’s belief in social media. They blasted Black Adam, the former WWE Champion, for attempting to control the DCEU. One fan stated that the idea will not go well.

Additionally, one user criticized DJ and claimed The Rock wants to dominate DCEU.

Meanwhile, many fans believe they need to be combined into a single film.

Fans disapprove saying that he wants two different films to dominate DC, as he famously declared it as the Black Adam Universe.

However, it will be intriguing to watch whether or not the decision will be in the movie’s favor and whether it will succeed like Shazam!.
