However, there is a belief that the movie will slow down once Black Panther: Wakanda Forever hits cinema halls this month. There have also been reports that the DC movie was banned from China due to Pierce Brosnan's supportive comments toward Dalai Lama.

Dwayne Johnson fought for Black Adam's release

For wrestling fans and longtime followers of The Rock, his passion for his work isn't new. One of the projects he continuously pursued was the recent DC film, which took more than a decade before it was released.

In an interview, Dwayne Johnson expressed his feelings after seeing himself in Black Adam's costume and mentioned that he fought for the film for 15 years.

"I had a moment before I walked out of my trailer, I just took a look in the mirror, it was a very humbling moment. Because, I fought so hard for this movie, to get this movie made and keep it on track. 15 long years and here we are." [0:42 - 0:54]

With the passion of not just Dwayne Johnson but the rest of the cast, it's no wonder why the film is perceived well by fans. It will be interesting to see how the movie will perform in the next few days.
