WWE legend and Hollywood star The Rock recently took to his Instagram account and posted a video clip. He was seen sitting near the grave of his maternal grandparents as his mother, played Ukulele. Here is what he wrote in the caption:
“We sure miss ‘em 🕊️
Always so good to spend time at my grandfather and grandmother’s grave (my mom’s mom and dad).
We just sit, sing a little, talk story and laugh.
Cry a little.
Cycle of life.
My grandma would NEVER look at the actual food on a menu – she’d always look at the price$ first to determine whether the restaurant was “too heavy” or not 😂😂
U feel their presence in such a strong way.
Ancestors.
Mana.

The Rock (Dwayne Johnson) was previously positioned as the center of the post-Zack Snyder DC Extended Universe, with his film Black Adam being pushed as a soft reboot of the franchise and supported by a massive publicity campaign. A report recently blamed The Rock for Shazam! Fury of the Gods’ box office failings, revealed that the Black Adam star was to blame for the Justice Society being cut from the sequel.
Dirt Sheet Radio noted that a new report from the Wrap reveals how Dwayne Johnson sabotaged the once promising Shazam franchise by putting his own brand before the good of the DCEU.
Johnson reportedly vetoed a scene in Black Adam which would’ve seen Zachary Levi’s Shazam show up in a cameo. Shazam would’ve been recruited into the Justice Society of America by Alan Hodge’s Hawkman.
Johnson also reportedly vetoed a Black Adam cameo in the Shazam sequel. Johnson wanted to revolve the DCEU around a potential showdown between his Black Adam and Henry Cavill’s Superman. He seemingly had no plans to involve himself with Black Adam’s true canonical rival Shazam.
