Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson teased his upcoming appearance as Black Adam in a live-action picture coming to cinemas in October, and on Friday he released the whole post-credit scene from his recent animated movie DC’s League of Super-Pets online.
Three of the four characters in the post-credit scene of DC League of Super-Pets are voiced by Johnson, demonstrating his range as an actor. In the new film, the actor voices not just Superman’s dog Krypto but also Black Adam and Black Adam’s dog Anubis.
In the post-credits sequence, Johnson posted to Instagram, that Krypto and his owner Superman (John Krasinski) are about to play catch when Anubis swoops in and grabs the Batman-shaped squeaky toy from under Krypto’s nose.
When their superhuman masters get together, the puppies talk about how the Black Adam is an “anti-hero” and what it means in comparison to a villain. After some debate, Anubis tells his heroic counterpart that just a thin line between his owner, the “anti-hero” Krypto, and the villains he battles. In DC’s League of Super-Pets, Johnson reunites with Kevin Hart, who plays Batman’s faithful dog Ace, in a new adventure. In flicks like “Central Intelligence” and “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle,” the pair’s offbeat chemistry has paid dividends at the box office. With $23 million in its opening weekend, DC League of Super-Pets beat off Jordan Peele’s highly anticipated Nope for the top spot.
The film’s domestic box office total surpassed $41 million despite receiving negative reviews. The film chronicles the canines’ quest to rescue their human captors from the evil clutches of Lex Luthor (Marc Maron) and his guinea pig sidekick, Lulu (Kate McKinnon). Keanu Reeves voices Bruce Wayne and Olivia Wilde voices Lois Lane in the animated picture that also marks Jared Stern’s directorial debut in theatres. Johnson teased the fight demanded by fans in the caption of an Instagram post, writing, “The universe is starting to boil with excitement over the earth’s shattering SUPERMAN versus BLACK ADAMshowdown one day.” “Until then, though, BLACK ADAM’S DOG ANUBIS has some harsh words for SUPERMAN’S DOG KRYPTO.
The theory and meaning of the term “ANTIHERO” are fascinating. Yes, if you listen carefully, you’ll hear me voicing both dogs and Black Adam in this episode.” The antihero Black Adam will be the central character in the next live-action film, which is scheduled for release on October 21. Jaume-Collet Serra helms the next film, which was written by Adam Sztykiel, Rory Haines, and Sohrab Noshirvani. In addition to Quintessa Swindell as Red Tornado and Pierce Brosnan as Doctor Fate, Noah Centineo as Atom Smasher, Aldis Hodge as Hawkman, and Sarah Shahi as Adrianna Tomaz will all enter the live-action DC world in the film. Johnson, together with Walter Hamada, Eric McLeod, and Scott Sheldon, acted as executive producers for the picture. At the moment, you may see DC’s League of Super-Pets in cinemas.
