A new report alleges that Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson tried to insert himself in the middle of Warner Bros.’ rebooted DC Universe, derailing both his own film, 'Black Adam,' and 'Shazam: Fury of the Gods.'

, Johnson fired off an infamous Instagram post about certain “chicken sh-t” co-stars, whom he called “[c]andy asses.” It was a

from there, but it quickly became clear that Johnson was referring to Vin Diesel. In the end, Johnson and Jason Statham exited the main franchise for a spinoff,“Dwayne tries to sell himself as bigger than the movie,” a purported high-ranking Hollywood executive told TheWrap. “He’s one of the few people who always thinks he’s the most important person in any situation or room. … Instead of making a movie, he wants to extend his brand and make a brand centered on himself.

A representative for Johnson did not respond to TheWrap’s request for comment; representatives for Warner Bros. and New Line cinema declined to comment.Vanity Fair last August, he recalled that initially, the plan had been for the characters to share an origin story in one film. “But when I read that, I just knew in my gut, ‘We can’t make this movie like this. We would be doing Black Adam an incredible disservice.’ It would’ve been fine for Shazam having two origin stories converge in one movie, but not good for Black Adam.”make that movie on its own in the tone that you want. And I think we should separate this as well.’”

Black Adam is the worst comic book movie since Dolph Lundgrens Punisher

Black Adam was a weak choice for a movie in the first place (and The Rock isn’t that huge of a draw). Sort of the sane with Shazam (though it’s marketing seemed lackluster).

Maybe…they should have listened to him.

TheRock is this true JamesGunn can you confirn?

I'm pretty sure dismal box office sank both those ships.

Seriously doubt it but you gotta scapegoat someone, I guess. Lemme let everyone in on something, DC SUCKS! They got Batman(which is huge) and a Superman every decade. That’s it.

The DC universe have been more or less a trainwreck after the Nolan Batman movies. If you are a director for a DC superhero movie, you are statistically more likely to get fired before shooting the full movie, than finishing the project. This started long before ' the Rock '.

No black adam here 🤣

Hmm. So they are saying it's the black man's fault

So he didn't have enough power to bring back Cavill but he has the power to 'derail' his own movie and Shazam too? Hmm. .

Well the ego has bugged me for awhile! Like the way he said he brought cavill it was his decision!

23 Ewe 🐑

Pretty sure you don't have to put 'alleged' in front of 'ego' here.

😬

so are you saying they were stuck between a...oh never mind.

“the hierarchy of power in the DC universe is about to change.”
