Dwayne “THE ROCK” Johnson is officially Black Adam

Oh! You think it’s been quiet around here? It has! Oh! You thought I wouldn’t find the time in this first week of classes to talk about THE ROCK?! EGG ON YOUR FACE, PLEBS.

Comics Alliance:

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson — actor, wrestler, guy with quote marks in his name — has tweeted what appears to be confirmation that he will play the role of Black Adam — presumably in a Shazam movie from Warner Bros. — by telling his followers, “My honor to become.. #BlackAdam”.

Rumors about Johnson joining the DC Cinematic Universe have circulated for a while, with initial speculation that he might appear in Batman V Superman — perhaps as Lex Luthor. In August, Johnson confirmed that he was in talks to take on a DC role, and tweeted a picture of Shazam, Black Adam, and Superman. He didn’t specify which role he was up for, but many fans noted his resemblance to the villain Black Adam.
