WWE is one of the most popular pro wrestling promotions and is known internationally. Any wrestler on WWE can get International recognition and become a known face. Former WWE Superstar Dwayne Johnson also used this platform and became one of the most popular WWE Superstars ever.
Soon, after an impressively successful WWE career, Johnson would make a switch and join Hollywood to pursue his career as an actor. Soon, he would become one of the most well-known Hollywood superstars and would be soaring high up in the sky.
However, recently, Johnson has been under a lot of deep water. Last year in 2022, Johnson’s much-awaited film, Black Adam was released. But the film fell flat on its face and could not impress the fans or the critics. It also failed to achieve the much-expected numbers at the box-office.

The film is one of the lowest-rated DCEU films on Rotten Tomatoes. However, one moment which struck the fan’s hearts in the film was the much-awaited cameo of Henry Cavill as Superman. When the post-credit scene of the film rolled out, Henry Cavill as The Man of Steel appeared on the screen, and the film ended on a cliffhanger.
However, soon around a month later, it was announced that DC Studios would not be continuing with Henry Cavill. And even Johnson’s plans for a Black Adam sequel were also put on the shelf. It was a known fact that Johnson had worked extremely hard to get Cavill on-board with the project, and these together came hard on The Brahma Bull.

Fans of the 50-year-old actor understood his situation, and came to his support.
Dwayne Johnson’s fans unite to support him during his tough times and allegations related to Henry Cavill
As James Gunn entered the DCEU scene, several past projects got shelved up, Black Adam’s sequel got cancelled, and even Henry Cavill was let go. Gunn brought with him a sense of freshness, and wanted to start everything from scratch, and uplift the entire DCEU.
However, as Cavill got sacked, several people started blaming Johnson for it. But fans of The Rock united and came together to extend their support, and have their presence known.
In my opinion, @TheRock wasn’t shown enough love and appreciation for helping our boy, Henry, come back. Black Adam will continue to be one of my favorite movies. I can rewatch that post-credit scene over and over. So much potential wasted…⚡️ pic.twitter.com/o8qDZ2F30Z

For once she’s right. Remember when people were saying they weren’t gonna watch Black Adam if Henry Cavill wasn’t in it so Dwayne Johnson delayed the movie to October climbed over mountains to get the Henry cameo only for those people to not come to the theatres. pic.twitter.com/AdJNBcbWVj

Watched @blackadammovie and I thought it was fun as f**k. Why does @JamesGunn & @wbpictures have to go and screw us!? @TheRock did a hell of a job and #HenryCavill is Superman! Other than #BlackAdam I'm not giving a single dime going forward till #JamesGunn does the right thing.

@TheRock listened to us and helped us return #HenryCavill as #Superman; now @JamesGunn and @wbpictures took away what we wanted most; @DC you are going the wrong way!! #HenryCavillSuperman #FireJamesGunn

Bro y’all dumb asf @TheRock actually cared about the fans and knew we wanted Superman Henry Cavill Back and got him back FOR US. Nobody to blame but James Gunn on this one

Both are released when James Gunn is president, and the person who fired Henry Cavill and Dwayne Johnson is James Gunn himself. Dwayne Johnson brought in Henry so he could get the three of them in one movie, but damn James Gunn ruined everything+++

Unfortunately, the one thing @blackadammovie will be remembered for is its promise to bring back Henry Cavill as Superman, which is not happening. The film was a dud even with @TheRock… who everyone genuinely loves. #BlackAdam #DCU https://t.co/RYb7YgtMeU

People were trying to claim The Rock was the problem but nah I think there's a reason why he wanted to have Black Adam fight Superman instead of working with the antivaxxer lmao

@TheRock, we are your fans. We’d love to see your Black Adam Universe as well as BA do battle with Henry Cavill’s Superman.#SellSnyderVerseToNetflix #SellZSJLtoNetflixhttps://t.co/yV0DCCeymD

Johnson and his production house, Seven Bucks Studios, worked hard to bring Cavill on board, and turn the film into reality. Thus, it was hard seeing Johnson get all the blame for the failure of the film and the project.
