DC black adam is one of the last hopes of Warner Bros. who plans to salvage whatever they can considering how things haven’t worked out for WB. The major movie studio has been involved in providing the film with every marketing tactic at its disposal, and Dwayne Johnson is also doing his part.
However, it seems Johnson’s efforts have been overlooked by some of the fans. The 50-year-old actor was the victim of a barrage of disgusted boos from the audience during a Q&A recently, which only tells us how out of touch some fans are, especially after all the work Johnson did for black adam until its release.

Black Adam Star Dwayne Johnson Booed at Comic Con
Dwayne Johnson is one of Hollywood’s most beloved actors. The actor started out in the 90s playing his own father in That 70s showpossibly getting a role in The return of the mummy and more success with Fast Five, which was his first major box office success.
It would almost seem bizarre to think that one could ever boo the actor who pretty much has a clean slate in terms of celebrity controversy. But it seems like the lot at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con aren’t too fond of Johnson judging by recent events.

The San Andreas The star recently made an appearance during an SDCC Q&A where he was asked whether or not Teth Adam would be able to beat Superman, to which he replied-
“That’s a great question…don’t threaten me with a good time, because I’m going to answer that question.” Well, I’ll say, as you know, because we’re all wrapped up in that mythology, and it’s an age-old question of who would win a fight between Black Adam and Superman. Pound for pound, they’re pretty close. I guess it all probably depends on who is playing Superman; I’ll just say that. I will leave it there.
Here is the response that followed from the audience-
Black Adam versus Superman?

It seems there were plenty of Henry Cavill fanatics in the crowd who didn’t take The Rock’s presumption of another actor playing Clark Kent too well, let alone beating Superman.

Dwayne Johnson Defended by Furious Fans Against SDCC Crowd
Dwayne Johnson certainly doesn’t deserve all the hate he’s had for those ambiguous comments about the uncertainty of who Superman’s newest actor will be. Fans were quick enough to forget that Johnson is one of the few WB actors who worked day and night to make sure their movies were a hit.
The 50-year-old actor visited test screenings to sound out fan comments on the film, and ironically he was also said to have been a mediator for the alleged deal that was struck between Warner Bros and Henry Cavill regarding his role as Superman.

The reaction to the negative comments given by the crowd at the SDCC naturally made the Dwayne Johnson / black adam quite angry camp, and they express their disappointment on Twitter-
DC Fans DO NOT Deserve The Rock At All
He’s bringing the JSA to the big screens, he’s brought cavil, he’s been listening to the yellow filter commentary and footage from Justice League 2017
And what does he get?
What has another actor in a comedy film done compared to him? Nothing pic.twitter.com/G8go0EX14p– War Turtle (@HYHussein7) October 6, 2022
A switch wouldn’t be bad-
Fuck you he should go to the mcu because at least the fans there care about their actors

Are you telling me it’s just this crowd? –
Not DC fans, these are SNYDER cultists

Exactly, he’s just doing his job-
It is supposed to highlight his character. I love supes but everyone knows one of his weaknesses is magic Shazam and Adam have given him some good battles over the years. Who remembers Mr. mxyzptlk? He terrorizes supes my guy hates magic. pic.twitter.com/2uDzkA74Fh

Not a pleasant crowd-
More people are more biased towards Superman. So maybe the marketing strategy on his part should be toned down from a neutral perspective. And yes, most DC fans struggle to have a positive argument….

This user makes a fair point-
I mean, one of Superman’s weaknesses is the magic that Black Adam possesses. So yes, technically Black Adam could beat Superman

The public reaction to Johnson’s comments is frankly disrespectful. The DC fan base really needs to get their act together before even asking for a worthwhile DC movie.
black adam will be released in theaters on October 21, 2022.
