ROCK ‘N’ RULE

wayne Johnson closes his eyes and sits quietly for a minute. It’s like he’s evoking an incantation – and in a way, he is. Through his own concentrated will he’s finally ushering one of DC’s most powerful, complex and disruptive antiheroes to the big screen after a decade of patience and power play. Now sits and waits as the star, in his office at his LA home, contemplates what moment in the movie he cannot wait for fans to finally see. He takes a deep breath. “Two things,” he intones, eyes opening. “The opening action sequence, of an entire army trying to take out Black Adam and he starts to levitate... What happens after that is fucking incredible. I’m sorry to cuss – but you establish within the first opening minutes who this man is, his power and him being unstoppable. And there is of course a moment where Black Adam screams, “Shazam!” Oh, I have goosebumps now… pay when that happens.”
