Dwayne Johnson reportedly refused to make cameos as Black Adam in ‘The Flash’ and ‘Shazam! The fury of the gods

A few days ago, rumors said that some Superman and Wonder Woman cameos were removed from ‘The Flash’, that film in the chaos of constant changes in the DC Universe whose premiere remains strong despite the constant controversies surrounding Ezra Miller. . None of the takedowns are surprising now that we know about the cancellation of “Wonder Woman 3” and how James Gunn and Peter Safran gave up on Henry Cavill as Clark Kent. However, sometimes things happen the other way around and it’s the actor who says no to cameos: it would have been so for Dwayne Johnson, who according to new rumors would have refused to make a small appearance as Teth Adam in ‘The Flash’.

“One Last Pearl on ‘Black Adam'”Umberto Gonzalez, journalist of The Wrap, posted on Twitter, “According to my source, when ‘The Flash’ was filmed Seven Bucks president Hiram Garcia was asked if Dwayne [Johnson] could make a cameo as Black Adam in the film, however Garcia “politely declined”Seven Bucks is the production company that the actor founded together with the entrepreneur Dany Garcia and which deals to a greater or lesser extent with most of his projects. Dwayne Johnson hasn’t commented on the matter, so the reasons behind the negative aren’t entirely clear, it could be due to how little interest he’d find in playing such a small role, although it would be curious considering the actor himself has struggled to have Henry Cavill appear in ‘Black Adam’, which for the moment will be the last intervention of the two in the DC Universe.

The Rock recently shared that the DC Studios board won’t be promoting “Black Adam” in the foreseeable future, but that the character could have a place in the multiverse, perhaps through cameos. Had he known what the future held, Johnson would not have said no to small appearances in more studio films, though nothing could assure him that his work would not suffer the same fate as his colleagues.

cameo no thanks

Dwayne Johnson would have he also declined to appear as Teth Adam in “Shazam!” The fury of the gods when they proposed it, according to Collider. This fact would be even more surprising, being Black Adam Shazam’s main rival and therefore a great opportunity to delve into the character.
