The Rock – Green Lantern To Black Adam!

Dwayne The Rock Johnson is set to play the Shazam-nemesis Black Adam in DC Extended Universe. He seems very excited with the role and calls his character an anti-hero instead of a supervillain. But according to rumors, the wrestler-turned-actor had passed on the role of a popular DC superhero to grab this one.

Veteran correspondent Umberto Gonzalez reported earlier this year via his Twitter account that The Rock was approached originally to play John Stewart, aka Green Lantern, but he declined to play the part. Instead, he decided to go for the role of Black Adam.

We don’t know if this rumor is true or not but it might as well be! Because, even though at that moment we didn’t assume more than one Green Lantern in DCEU, the name of the 2020 flick was later changed to Green Lantern Corps – which obviously opens up the possibility of having both Hal Jordan and John Stewart in the movie. Plus, there was a time when The Rock, himself, teased playing John Stewart!
