Dwayne Johnson has made his superhero debut in DC’s epic Black Adam, which has set a new box office record, becoming his biggest opening in a lead role.
Johnson plays the title role in the new film, portraying a popular antihero from the comic books who is frequently depicted as a rival to Shazam (Zachary Levi).
The former WWE legend has long promised that the movie will change the DC hierarchy, and reviews plus its box office success are proving him correct, with critics calling the movie “epic on every level” and a “game-changer”.
According to Deadline, the movie grossed $67 million in the US and $140 million worldwide in its opening weekend.
Fans have also loved the film’s standout score, composed by Lorne Balfe, whose credits include Top Gun: Maverick, His Dark Materials, and Marvel’s Black Widow.

Balfe has said he created a score that reflects the Rock’s larger than life personality combined with the character of Black Adam.
“The Black Adam main theme, I’d like to think when you close your eyes and you see The Rock, that’s what you hear,” Balfe told Comicbook.com.
“There was taking a pinch of his personality, as well as the character of Black Adam. It all had to go together. It’s been a great feedback, regarding it.”
