Dwayne Johnson-starred long-awaited superhero movie, DC Comics’ Black Adam, had its first trailer released on social media platforms. The multi-time World Champion John Cena took note of it and reacted. Cena worked in the role of ‘Peacemaker’ in the DC Universe. While there has been a lot of praise for the trailer online thus far, one person doesn’t seem overly impressed with Black Adam.The 16-time WWE Champion took to social media on the official Peacemaker account to comment on the trailer, making a very bold statement in the process:
“@DCComics i can take him,” John Cena tweeted.

Black Adam release was pushed back
The movie was initially scheduled to release this summer but was pushed back to October in order to polish the visual effects that could essentially make or break the film at the box office.
The Rock has dived into the world of superheroes after portraying the DC character, which he first announced he would be doing back in 2014. Since that point, there have been several setbacks when it comes to getting this project off the ground, but it is set to be released on October 21, and will see The Rock joined by; Noah Centineo, Aldis Hodge, Sarah Shahi, Quintessa Swindell, and Pierce Brosnan.
The movie also sees The Rock working alongside Jaume Collet-Serra who also directed Disney’s “Jungle Cruise,” which saw the WWE legend take on a lead role. He has previously shared on-set photographs from the filming process, giving fans a tease of what to expect, but later today they will have far more details when the trailer drops.
The Rock will become the latest wrestler to head into the world of superheroes, joining Batista and John Cena who have already worked in that genre. Batista has portrayed Drax in multiple MCU movies, being a core member of “The Guardians Of The Galaxy” franchise, while he has also appeared in multiple “Avengers” movies.
