NEW YORK (AP) — In Hollywood’s superhero era, there has always been one particularly conspicuous absence. While a parade of big-name actors have taken their turns donning various spandex suits, Dwayne Johnson has, until now, sat out the trend. The Rock, you could say, didn’t really need a cape to prove his powers. The 6-foot-5 260-lb. actor was, in many respects, already a superhero in his own right: a skyscraper-climbing hulk, a shape-shifting demi-god, a bulked-up Tooth Fairy. The fates have finally aligned in “Black Adam,” Johnson’s first superhero film. “Black Adam” opens in theaters Friday.
Can the Rock steady the DC universe with ‘Black Adam’?
