Dwayne Johnson Talks Why Black Adam

Dwayne Johnson talks why he loves the role of Black Adam in a new Q&A on his YouTube page. 

A fan asks The Rock, “So what you made you want/consider the role of Black Adam?”

“Look I love the role of Black Adam,” Johnson responds. “I love that he starts off as a slave. That he felt like he was wronged. I just love that back story, an d I think Black Adam has been, for me, the most intriguing super hero.”

Dwayne Johnson will star as Black Adam in the 2019 Shazam! movie, which is currently in development.
