As we reported a few weeks ago, Dwayne Johnson, better known to WWE fans as The Rock, was deciding which character he would play in the new “Shazam” comic-based film.
On Wednesday, Rock confirmed via Twitter that he will be playing the role of “Black Adam,” who is considered more of an anti-hero type of character than an actual villain.
Johnson tweeted the following:
"Kneel at his feet or get crushed by his boot." My honor to become.. #BlackAdam #TheAntiHero #DCComics pic.twitter.com/Qk55eNf3R7
