Dwayne Johnson Opens Up On Black Adam Failure, Explains DCEU & WB Turmoil

Despite being touted as changing the hierarchy of the DC Extended Universe, Dwayne Johnson is opening up about what went wrong with Black Adam. Johnson made his long-awaited debut as the DC antihero with the 2022 movie chronicling his origins as the father of a Kahndaq slave boy granted the powers of Shazam, only to use them for vengeance and be imprisoned for thousands of years, eventually unleashed on the modern day. After spending nearly a decade in development, Black Adam hit theaters to poor reviews from critics and falling shy of its break-even point at the box office.
