Even though several months have passed by, Dwayne Johnson is still the topic of discussion when it comes to his DC stint. As the recent Shazam: Fury of Gods released the past weekend, it hasn’t done well compared to the first one. Surprisingly, the hardcore DCEU fans have blamed ‘The Brahma Bull’ and his film ‘Black Adam’ for the same. However, a recent post by Shazam actor Zachary Levi has stunned everyone.
The fans are blaming The Rock for the disappointing opening for Shazam 2. And it seems Levi’s recent post has added fuel to the rage of the DC fans over Johnson.

Did Zachary Levi expose Dwayne Johnson?
With the DC fans being upset and blaming DJ for Shazam’s success, Levi shared a cryptic Instagram story. He shared a post of The Wrap with the caption, “Truth shall set you free.”
The Wrap recently covered a report stating how The Rock “kneecapped” Shazam 2. The report said, “Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, whose behind-the-scenes maneuvering to boost another DC property — “Black Adam,” in which he starred — may well end up tanking both franchises.”
They further also shed a light on Peter Safran and James Gunn planning a new DC universe ahead. The report added, “in trying to shape “Black Adam” as the new center of the DC Universe — a strategy that failed to bolster “Black Adam” and undercut the once-promising “Shazam” franchise — Johnson may have kneecapped both, painting a portrait of a celebrity who put his own brand before the work.”

Initially, DC had planned the debut of Black Adam and Shazam in one movie i.e. first Shazam film in 2019. However, as per a tweet from DJ he talked with the studios about Black Adam having a solo film in the storyline with new characters.

Now it seems the move didn’t go well for Black Adam or Shazam. Also, the fans now might never get to see a Shazam vs Black Adam fight on the big screen until DJ and Levi reprise their characters or DC recast them.
Fans take a shot at The Rock
The hardcore DC fans are now upset after Levi’s Instagram story. They are too blaming the WWE legend for Shazam 2’s disappointment. Below are some of the reactions on Twitter from the fans.
Shots were fired at The Rock!
The Rock thinking himself too big to play what Black Adam actually is, a Shazam villain, and trying to politic his way into facing Superman instead is an astounding act of bringing pro wrestling to Hollywood. https://t.co/zXSZpRp1Xr

Rock has a pretty big ego for someone who can't act to save his life. https://t.co/YMlB923VWd

I said this years ago when he became black Adam it was a waste of a movie slot
N I knew the rock will have too much a ego to lose in a movie which is so dumb https://t.co/L6yVUcKJXw
