Every actor (and actress) understands that playing a superhero (or supervillain, or antihero) entails displaying evidence of one’s “jacked” physique. Although Chris Hemsworth’s toned arms understand that there is no gain without hardship, no one does jacked shots better than The Rock. Due to the camera finally rolling on the long-gestating Shazam! spinoff, Black Adam, he’s been even more jacked than usual, with his jacked legs looking even more ripped than on a normal day (or month).
Creativity, on the other hand, is a must. Yayha Abdul-Mateen II, who is reprising his role as Black Manta in Aquaman 2, recently went against the trend and released a cool selfie instead, but The Rock is stirring things up in a another way: with a back shot while announcing the final week of Black Adam production.
“Almost two years of hard core, intense training, diet, character prep and execution,” The Rock wrote in part. “You’ve been right there rockin’ with me all this time … And now it’s my turn and I hope to deliver the definitive antihero you deserve.”
Well, that’s one way to grab some attention. People haven’t seen The Rock in this way since his frequent WWE days, right? You gotta respect him posting a tush photo while promising, “The hierarchy of power in the DC UNIVERSE is about to change.” Well played, The Rock. Well played.
