“How Selfish”: Dwayne Johnson Left $450 Million Worth Hollywood Star Hanging on Black Adam Hopes Since 2019

Dwayne Johnson will star in the much anticipated Black Adam movie, later this month. The hype surrounding the former WWE champion’s first appearance as a live action superhero, is off the charts. The cast will also feature the James Bond actor, Pierce Brosnan, as ‘Doctor Fate’. However, another top Hollywood star had expressed his desire to star in the Black Adam.

After Dwayne Johnson announced that he will play the DC anti-hero, his popular co-star and best friend, Kevin Hart, said he wanted to be a part of the standalone movie.

Hart wanted in on the action and to play a role in the DC universe’s next installment. But despite DJ saying they will find a part for Hart, nothing seems to have happened, leaving his Jumanji co-star in a limbo.

Kevin Hart wanted Dwayne Johnson to cast him in Black Adam

Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart have made quite a few appearances together on the big screen. The duo have shared the screen in movies like Jumanji (both parts) and Central Intelligence, while Hart also made a cameo appearance in Hobbs & Shaw. They are also good friends are often involved in trolling each other whenever they get the chance.

As such, Hart anticipated that his friend may have a role for him in Black Adam as well. In 2019, the two actors sat down with ET Canada and talked about their movie Jumanji: The Next Level. During the interview, Hart said that he wanted a role in The Rock’s Black Adam as well.

He said, “We’ve already discussed it. We talked about it earlier, so we’re finding that out. No matter what, he’s not going to do it and not put me in it. How selfish would that be?” 

‘The Great One’ also seemed in agreement and said, “We’ve got to find the part for Kevin in Black Adam within the DC Universe.”

However, it seems nothing has materialized about Hart making a surprise appearance in his friend’s anti-hero flick. It looks like Johnson may have left him hanging on his Black Adam promise. If Hart does end up doing a cameo, it will be one of the best-kept secrets in recent Hollywood history.

Black Adam will release on 21 October and according to a report, it will be The Rock’s highest domestic opening with an expected earning of $70 million to $75 million.
