The Rock Johnson is shamelessly jockeying for an MCU role. I'm not mad but it's hilarious.

[Zero]

Gunn is like Doomsday for DC.

He never had any intention of doing right by the Rock, Cavill, or Gadot no matter how much money they made or how popular they are with fans.

His agenda is to destroy the Snyderverse and put his buddies who can't act and wife in place and turn the Justice League into Guardians of the Galaxy pt 2.

As for Black Adam, they wanted him to be a bit character in a movie about a kid superhero, Shazam, so the rock was right to reject it. Which is what made the cac nerds so furious

They wanted a Black superstar to lower himself to being a 2nd tier villain in a joke franchise. Which is why they were laughing about Gunn destroying Cavill and the Rock by extension. Some actually said he was "put in his place."

Typical cac foolishness.

Because they had Cavill and The Rock and they fired them and want to replace them with chucklehead actors who have no screen presence.

As for Marvel, they're without the Russo brothers. And Feige knows they're not going to let any the black characters boss up.

So Kang, Captain America, and Rhodey are going to be flops because they'll be written to basically be side characters in the MCU.

So actually the Rock could bring the dominant screen presence they need for their hero and/or villain characters. But Feige wants weak puppets so it's a no go.

What is Black Adam without Shazam?

You tried it

Black Adam isn't profitable though. How popular was he? The fukk is the point of having an alleged star in your movie if he can't make you money.

His agenda is to destroy the Snyderverse and put his buddies who can't act and wife in place and turn the Justice League into Guardians of the Galaxy pt 2.

His job is to come in and put DC in a position to succeed. You're not being real if you can look at the DCEU so far and go, this shyt is going as planned

As for Black Adam, they wanted him to be a bit character in a movie about a kid superhero, Shazam, so the rock was right to reject it. Which is what made the cac nerds so furious They wanted a Black superstar to lower himself to being a 2nd tier villain in a joke franchise.

They asked a guy playing a character that's not a household name to that's the main antagonist of a superhero that's not a household name, to be in that superhero's movie.

Should Marvel have had Loki have his own movie before appearing in a Thor movie?

Shazam made $360M on a 80-100M budget. BA is only at $391M while costing multiples more.

Which is why they were laughing about Gunn destroying Cavill and the Rock by extension. Some actually said he was "put in his place."

Gunn didn't screw Cavill and Rock. Cavill and Rock screwed Cavill and Rock. Cavill let the Rock's ex-wife/business partner talk him into rejecting a cameo in BA. Rock declined to be connected to Shazam then put out a movie that critics and audiences went to.

Black Adam IS a Shazam villain tho. Wanting to be in his movie isn't some anti-Black conspiracy.

Man threw on his Oswald Bates cape for a half black/half samoan that cast Alexandrai Daddario as his daughter

you'd wanna jump ship to the MCU after realizing how the black adam movie was as well.

It’s as silly as having Venom without Spider-Man.

Nah, not even that.

Venom has become popular enough, that he can at least stand on his name somewhat. And that's owed to Spiderman being the most popular superhero for a long time.

Shazam isn't a big name, so his villains aren't names at all.

This is petty as shyt and a pretty big L but it still doesn't match when Baywatch flopped. Dude was actually playing Twitter fingers to people critiquing that bullshyt

Baywatch the series got by purely on títs and post-Knight Rider David Hasseloff as the lead. But aside from that the show is pure shyt — but nostalgic and fun.

But who the hell thought a movie version could even remotely be a good idea no matter who was in the cast?

 

[Diondon]

Black Adam & Namor the same nikka lol
He fukked by going to DC first

 

[CarltonJunior]

Aint really a good role for the rock in the MCU, unless they give him some obscure character like Gladiator.

can't picture him as one of the main x-men or FF4 characters. but hes not one to take a supporting role either, so he would essentially be in the same position as he was with black adam, headlining a d list character and the movie flopping.

The X-men open the floodgates I'd say.

He could also be someone like Kraven The Hunter, recurring villain with a focal role. (People would hate the casting but I think ut would work)

Exactly those cac nerds couldn't stand to see a rich black man enter their space as the HNIC.

He even got them Cavill back as Superman and it was still

was watching black adam last night, couldnt finish it, why does every scene have theatrical music? let the damn scenes breathe

 

[Jx2]

The man has had flops before but he seems to be taking this one especially personally

He was expecting this would catapult to Deadpool levels of success because he embraced this as his passion project, much like Reynolds did. Problem is, Deadpool is more of a bankable character by Hollywood's standards and Reynolds isn't a complete one note actor a la Dwayne

I always thought John Cena would have been a better fit for Shazam. He's got an more accurate physique and he's just as child like. Add in The Rock as Black Adam, and you got that WWE Rivalry running underneath the movie rivalry.

Oh, snap! That could've worked perfectly.

I cant believe they used For a few dollars more (my fav movie) in this shyt.

I dont care how many hits he has, the rock has 0 classics. you cant compare him to Arnie or Stalone

I’ll give him the rundown and gridiron gang i didn’t really care for walking tall but to each their own
