The fake news attracted so much attention due to his not-so-good performance in his last DC movie. This led many to believe that The Great One is distancing himself from the DCEU.
Fans react to the clarification made by Dwayne Johnson

One fan even felt weird that Johnson doesn’t follow the movie account he has hyped everyone for.
I’ll take his word for it. But it seems weird not to follow the account for the movie he hyped up so much. Also, absolutely no mention from him that it hit streaming… https://t.co/CgJQ0O4OCw

Whatever has happened, true fans never turn their backs on their idols. Here, people came to let The Rock know that they loved Black Adam and wish that things go smoothly for him in the future.
Really hoping you still have a future in the DC Universe, Dwayne!
Just watched Black Adam today on HBOMAX with my dad and HE LOVED IT!
Would be disappointing to end things this way. Rooting for you! 🙏❤️❤️❤️
