    Dwayne Johnson shares on possibility of Black Adam sequel

    Dwayne Johnson shared an update regarding the possibility of a sequel of his superhero film Black Adam and whether fans would see further explorations of the character in the DC universe.

    In the post he shared on Twitter, the actor revealed that he had immediately connected with the new DC-studios co-chief, James Gunn, and both of them had agreed that any new version of Black Adam won’t be a solo film but perhaps may fit into the multiverse DC is trying to establish. Dwayne revealed that DC and Seven Bucks currently had no plans for creating a sequel but will definitely consider it in the future

    “James Gunn and I connected, and Black Adam will not be the first chapter of storytelling. However, DC and Seven Bucks have agreed to continue exploring the most valuable ways Black Adam can be utilized in future DC multiverse chapters.”

    Dwayne ended the note by thanking fans for all the love and support they had showered on Black Adam and said he was very proud of the film he had made and will look back at it with tremendous gratitude.

    “After fifteen years of relentless hard work and to finally make Black Adam, I’m very proud of the film we’ve delivered for fans worldwide. I will always look back on the fan reaction to Black Adam with tremendous gratitude, humility and love.”

  • The Rock rips down own front gate during power outage

    “Not my finest hour,” says Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson as he posts a picture of a broken gate on Instagram.

    The 48-year-old then reveals that he literally tore down his own front gate after a power outage caused by a storm rendered it inoperable.

    “Not my finest hour, but a man’s gotta go to work,” said Johnson in his caption. “We experienced a power outage due to severe storms, causing my front gate not to open. I tried to override the hydraulic system to open the gates, which usually works when the power goes out — but this time it wouldn’t.”

    “Made some calls to see how fast I can get the gate tech on-site, but I didn’t have 45min to wait,” Johnson continued. “By this time, I know I have hundreds of production crew members waiting for me to come to work so we can start our day.”

    “So I did what I had to do,” he remarked. “I pushed, pulled and ripped the gate completely off myself. Ripped it completely out of the brick wall, severed the steel hydraulics and threw it on the grass. My security team was able to meet the gate technician and welders about an hour later — and they were apparently, ‘in disbelief and equally scared’.”

    Johnson concluded his caption with a plug for his upcoming role as the titular DC superhero in Black Adam.

    “And I think I’m one hundred percent ready to be Black Adam,” wrote the actor.

    His post has over four million likes with his followers expressing their disbelief at his actions.

    Johnson has the honour of being Hollywood’s highest-paid actor two years in a row now, pulling in over $87 million from June 2019 to June 2020.

    This makes us wonder what he would do during frequent power outages in Pakistan.
