Dwayne Johnson talks about the changing Hollywood
Dwayne was at the premiere of his new film release called Hobbs and Shaw. In this film, the characters journey to Samoa to do a lot of good work with their Samoan brothers.
On that occasion, Dwayne was, asked about representation and inclusion in Hollywood. And Dwayne answered:
“I think they’re doing great. I think, obviously, Marvel has done a tremendous job in building out. And also for me, DC, we’re doing Black Adam with Warner Bros. and DC. I think as everything builds and grows and you take the temperament of society and what’s happening. I think here in Hollywood, especially with franchises and characters and publicly traded companies that are sensitive to that sort of thing, I think they’re doing a good job. Maybe one day we’ll see a Black Superman. You’re looking at him.”
Dwayne is referring to the villain of Hobbs and Shaw played by Idris Elba. He calls himself Black Superman in the film.
Marvel Studios and its good work toward diversity
Marvel Studios has taken a great step toward diversity and inclusion in Hollywood in recent years. It has concentrated on making movies that represent this.
Some of these films include Captain Marvel and Black Panther. Marvel is also going to make a film with the first LGBT superhero. It is also in the pipeline making a film with the first Chinese superhero Shang-Chi movie.
Dwayne Johnson and his contribution to this Hollywood change
Dwayne is also a part of this change that is creeping into Hollywood. He will play the lead role in Black Adam for DC.
His role has been confirmed for nearly five years now but the project has been slow to kick off. But now things are moving on that front. The famed writer Adam Sztykiel is on board now and Jaume Collett-Serra is helming the project.
Though Dwayne may not play Black Superman because he is playing Black Adam, his Black Adam character has many features of Black Superman.
Black Adam can fly, is durable, and strong. His powers are more than that of the Black Superman since they emerge from magic. The Black Adam movie will commence filming in the first half of 2020. A release date is yet to be fixed. Dwayne has a line-up of great action-packed movies over the next couple of years. His fans are happy to see more of him on the big screen.
