When a fan asked Dwayne Johnson on the Black Adam panel if Kevin Hart ever got jealous of his role in the upcoming movie, Johnson said, “That’s good… That was a great question.” Then he replied, “The truth is, yes, Kevin Hart gets jealous [at] everything. I’m pretty good with height. You’re already taller than Kevin Hart.”
He continued saying to the 6,000 fans, “My dream and Seven Bucks Productions was to always come here. To be here today, to watch Black Adam levitate and throw around lightning like he was passing out candy, I gotta tell you guys, this truly is a dream come true, so thank you so much for this and of love and support.”
