Reports: Dwayne Johnson Turned Down Cameo Role in Upcoming DC Movie Who’s Lead Actor Threatened to Punch Him in the Face

We all are quite aware of one of the highest-grossing Hollywood movies now, the Black Adam. The film is a spinoff of the 2019 movie, Shazam. This product of the DC universe was once again loved by all.

After Shazam, a sequel of it is set to be released in 2023. However, the Black Adam actor, Dwayne Johnson, supposedly turned down a cameo role in the Shazam! Fury of the Gods.

This piece of information came like a bolt from the blue for all the fans of the DC universe and the followers of the former wrestler.

Johnson has his own reasons that he feels are the best for the character of Black Adam. However, fans might have enjoyed more to witness the superhero’s cameo in the upcoming movie.

The DC universe has planned to serve its audience with quality content, which includes the release of Shazam 2. This takes us all the way to the most discussed argument. Will Black Adam appear in Shazam! Fury of the Gods?

Unfortunately, the answer to this most argued question is No. This is because the lead actor of Black Adam thinks it will be a ‘disservice’ to the character.

The Wrap’s Umberto Gonzalez shares the information about the cameo offer made to The Rock for Shazam 2. However, Johnson has been reportedly turning down the opportunity. This made fans realize they might never see the fight that everyone was imagining. 

He also gave reasons for his decision to not make a cameo in Shazam, Fury of the Gods. He said to Variety, “It would’ve been fine for Shazam having two origin stories converge in one movie, but not good for Black Adam.”

He said, (via Direct) “I would love to punch The Rock in the face…it would be a dream.”His statements clearly reflected his wish to cross paths with Black Adam, in the Shazam’s sequel.
