Dwayne Johnson Reveals His Daughters' Reaction to 'Black Adam' (Exclusive)

Black Adam is set to open in theaters Friday, but to get the desired PG-13 rating, a lot of the footage ended up on the cutting room floor. Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson stars as the title character in the latest entry in the DC Comics universe, portraying a 5000-year-old Egyptian, who was imprisoned for millennia for corrupt acts after receiving super powers from the gods. But when he is released from his imprisonment, he begins catching criminals and then executing them. In an interview with Collider, producers Beau Flynn and Hiram Garcia explained the tight-rope they walked to stay true to the character, but to make a film that would allow the majority of their fans to buy a ticket on opening day.

Zack Sharf SPOILER ALERT: This story references a major reveal that is included in the end-credits scene for “Black Adam.” Much of the weeks leading up to the release of “Black Adam” has been dominated by Dwayne Johnson touting his eponymous comic book character’s future fight against Superman. Johnson has all but confirmed that his “Black Adam” movie will reintroduce Henry Cavill as Superman after he took on the role in films such as “Man of Steal,” “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice” and “Justice League.” But “Black Adam” producer Hiram Garcia recently told CinemaBlend (via Collider) that a Superman vs. Black Adam fight won’t just be defined by just a “one-off” movie.

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter “Black Adam,” a comic book adventure starring Dwayne Johnson, will loom large over the weekend box office. The film, from Warner Bros. and DC Comics, is expected to generate $60 million or more from 4,350 North American theaters between Friday and Sunday. That’ll easily be enough to dethrone “Halloween Ends,” which took the No. 1 spot last weekend with $41 million. “Black Adam” is squaring off against “Ticket to Paradise,” a romantic comedy featuring Julia Roberts and George Clooney, which is aiming to generate $15 million from 3,500 cinemas in its box office debut.

Dwayne Johnson was brought to tears during an appearance on The One Show alongside Rob Delaney.In an emotional interview, Delaney recalled a time after the death of his two-year-old son Henry when Johnson reached out to offer support.Henry passed away in January 2018, having undergone two years of treatment for a brain tumour.Appearing alongside Johnson on the chat show, Delaney said: “We hadn’t [worked together] at this point, but yeah he sent me a lovely tweet after Henry died, which he didn’t have to do, you know?“And that was very sweet and made me feel great, and then a couple of years later we did Hobbs And Shaw.”Johnson was visibly emotional after hearing Delaney’s anecdote. The Black Adam star then explained how Delaney’s grief had impacted him as a father of three girls.“That story, hearing that rocked us in our household,” said Johnson.Delaney described Johnson’s messages of support as “sweet” and a “good template” for how to approach someone grieving.In the first of two public tweets, Johnson simply wrote “Henry” and linked to Delaney’s Facebook post about his son’s passing.The second tweet read: “Stay strong my friend.

The long-awaited DC Universe “Black Adam” superhero film premiered recently in New York, the embargo has been lifted, and everyone is free, per Warner Bros., to discuss the film in whatever terms they like. If you’re online, especially on Twitter tonight, you’re likely going to be hearing a lot about the film’s post-credit scene that will have been spoiled in a matter of minutes and will likely have fans, or at least the DC Universe disciples, in a big lather.

J. Kim Murphy The hierarchy of power in the DC Universe may be about to change with “Black Adam,” but the new film is landing low on the hierarchy of critical reputation for Warner Bros.’ last decade of superhero entries. With reviews hitting for the Dwayne Johnson vehicle this afternoon, “Black Adam” currently stands at a mediocre 30% approval rating from top critics on the the review-aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes. Should the number stand, it would mark the lowest such figure for a DC film since 2017’s “Justice League,” which netted a 23% approval rating from top critics and was so reviled among fans that a reworked version was eventually ordered by Warner Bros., arriving in the form of “Zack Snyder’s Justice League” in 2021.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic SPOILER ALERT: The following review contains mild spoilers for “Black Adam.” It’s kind of a cheat, casting someone as massive as Dwayne Johnson to play a DC superhero — or antihero, in the case of “Black Adam,” an action-packed, adolescent-skewing standalone that presents the swole Samoan star as a nearly invincible global threat. Black Adam is basically an A-bomb in human form, whose emergence from a 5,000-year lockdown calls for emergency intervention by the Justice Society of America, or “JSA,” which dispatches four glorified bench-warmers to contain the situation: Hawkman (Aldis Hodge, gruff), Atom Smasher (Noah Centineo, doofy), Cyclone (Quintessa Swindell, colorful) and Doctor Fate (Pierce Brosnan, the standout, even if his character reads like a second-rate Doctor Strange).

Aquaman,” at least, had giant rideable seahorses and Nicole Kidman as a mermaid. “Black Adam” boasts Pierce Brosnan giving a worse performance than when he sang “Knowing Me, Knowing You” in “Mamma Mia!”Two decades after Johnson mind-numbingly barreled through the sand as “The Scorpion King,” he plays basically the same complicated warrior type only with less hair and zero personality. A prologue informs us that 5,000 years ago in fictional Kahndaq — could be Egypt, could be the Middle East — a young slave sacrificed himself to free his people and was therefore granted super powers by the ancient wizard from “Shazam!” He becomes Teth-Adam, Kahndaq’s champion.Back in the present day, the poor city is under military occupation by an evil company called Intergang (the bad guys have “no worries!” Australian accents) and is being plundered for its main natural resource, Eternium.

Jesus Christ, am I ever tired of superhero movies. Maybe you’re not, in which case, you should close the tab and move on; anything that follows doesn’t matter because superhero movies are critic-proof, hence their limitless boosting (in funding, in marketing, in overall dominance) by a risk-averse industry.
