The Rock Explains Why Black Adam Is a Hero to Him

What does The Rock mean when he says that Black Adam is a hero to him? That's an important question to ask as, historically, the DC character Dwayne Johnson will be portraying has been known as a villain. Is this another one of those weird DC movie switcheroos that will have fans groaning? Luckily, no. Johnson took the time to go to Instagram and explain the character's origins and share his personal philosophy on the character in the video below.

Makes sense, as Black Adam has been described as an antihero in the past. There's definitely some grey in his mythos when you put him up against guys like Brainiac or Joker or Sinestro. It'll be nice if Johnson portrays a hero that we can all sympathize with, if even a little bit. DC still has plans for a Shazam! movie to release sometime in 2019.
