Hollywood has had over the years several huge and hit superstars. However, only a few of them have been able to reach the status of Dwayne Johnson. Johnson is one of the most popular stars, both in Hollywood and in the pro-wrestling sector. Dwayne Johnson’s most recent film, Black Adam, came out last year in October and was claimed as a flop.

Fans criticize Dwayne Johnson on skipping Shazam and making Black Adam
Superhero and DCEU fans were in love with the film Shazam when it first came out. And, are currently loving the new trailer of sequel as well. The first film was a fresh approach to the dark and gritty DCEU. And, everyone, from fans to the critics, loved how they revolutionized the cinematic universe with one film.
However, fans also noticed how Dwayne Johnson‘s Black Adam fell flat on its face, and was rejected a sequel, while Henry Cavill was also rejected from playing Superman further. This prompted the fans to criticize Johnson for his decisions.
I think that with the Black Adam problem they shouldn't have listened to Dwayne Johnson and give him a solo film and instead just have put him in SHAZAM! it would have very much so helped both him and that film and tbh it would probably put him in a better place with DC pic.twitter.com/eKSsrLS3yp

It blows my mind that Dwayne Johnson refused to have anything to do with this movie. Black Adam is a Shazam character! The hierarchy of power in the DC Universe did not change! https://t.co/eTVJQNLiGU

Still absolutely wild to me that the Shazam family will never interact with Black Adam and that Johnson turned down a cameo in this film. Like, my brother in Christ, love you but, Black Adam, is a Shazam character. #ShazamFuryOfTheGods pic.twitter.com/hXyBluNjRf

Imagine how much The Rock would have been in his bag if he wasnt such a dipshit that he blocked and denied any involvement with Shazam in the Black Adam movie.
If this was a Shazam vs Black Adam movie, it would have been absolutely amazing https://t.co/z5ifudLeT4

If @TheRock would get off his high horse and be willing to lose a fight on screen, it can happen for Shazam 3
