When Dwayne Johnson took to social media to promise that he’d sat down with DC Entertainment to discuss some big changes to the DCEU, most fans understandably rolled their eyes at the mention of buzzwords like “fun” and “optimistic.” However, since then we’ve learned that he’s signed up to star in a Black Adam solo movie, and while the necessity of that is debatable, it’s hard not to have faith in the wrestler turned actor.
