Everyone remembers the blunder that was the reception to Black Adam in 2022. Dwayne Johnson was promoting the movie everywhere before its release. The former WWE champion even attended the Comic Con 2022 to hype up the movie’s release. But as we all know that the movie did not make the biggest impact on the box office side of things.

This led WB to turn down any future ideas that Johnson had promised. Instead, they appointed James Gunn and Peter Safran as the leading minds to steer forward the DC Universe. Most fans hated the idea of restarting the franchise while some saw it as the next best thing after Black Adam. But everyone forgot the effort that Johnson put into his movie.
