DC FanDome, DC Comic’s own version of an online fan convention, has recently begun to spin up its marketing machine in anticipation of its event on August 22. While various participants have begun to tease their own news, the biggest splash has been DC’s confirmation of all attending guests, and Dwayne Johnson’s teaser for hisupcoming role as Black Adam.
Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson took to Twitter with the phrase “They needed a hero. Instead they got me.” He expressed his excitement to take part in “the first ever celebration of the DC Multiverse #DCFandome!” and signed his tweet “- The Man In Black #BlackAdam.” It has been known for some time that Johnson would be playing Black Adam for DC, but this appears to be the first teaser of his character in video. It is, admittedly, just a silhouette, but presumably this means fans can expect to see or hear more about the project at DC FanDome.
