Dwayne Johnson Shocks Kelly Clarkson With Sex Joke About His Wife

Let’s celebrate the heydays of this autumn’s box office where we can, the season greatly hampered by a lack of tentpole product.

EXCLUSIVE: In the wake of Dwayne Johnson notching the highest opening of his solo star career with this weekend’s Black Adam at $67M, his holiday movie, currently titled Red One, is ramping up with additional castings: Deadline has learned that Nick Kroll, Kristofer Hivju, Wesley Kimmel and Mary Elizabeth Ellis are joining.

That figure tops the $60 million opening that lead star Dwayne Johnson posted with the “Fast & Furious” spinoff “Hobbs & Shaw” in August 2019 and is consistent with the $67 million opening that Jason Momoa’s “Aquaman” earned in December 2018. It is also closer to the $70 million projections that independent trackers initially posted before lowering them to $60 million closer to release.

Dwayne Johnson’s epic “Black Adam” thunders into theaters this weekend. A film about 15 years in the making— Johnson recently shared a story on social media sharing a press hit about him playing the character in 2007—Johnson has just never given up on the anti-hero character.

The long-awaited DC Universe “Black Adam” superhero film premiered recently in New York, the embargo has been lifted, and everyone is free, per Warner Bros., to discuss the film in whatever terms they like. If you’re online, especially on Twitter tonight, you’re likely going to be hearing a lot about the film’s post-credit scene that will have been spoiled in a matter of minutes and will likely have fans, or at least the DC Universe disciples, in a big lather.

Dwayne Johnson has jokingly suggested he should take over Liz Truss as the UK Prime Minister.Speaking to Sky News at the premiere of his new “anti-hero” DC film Black Adam, Johnson gave a tongue-in-cheek response when asked if he would consider the position.“Are you ready for another Johnson prime minister?” he said, in reference to Truss’ predecessor Boris Johnson. “Maybe Rock prime minister?”He added: “I will tell you this… It’s great to be back in London.

Warner Bros Discovery’s film studio has been through a series of shake ups this year, most recently with the exit of Courtenay Valenti, the ascendance of Mike De Luca and Pam Abdy and the unsuccessful negotiations with Dan Lin to run DC. Despite the tumult, the studio has one very powerful ally as it tries to find its cadence.

J. Kim Murphy The hierarchy of power in the DC Universe may be about to change with “Black Adam,” but the new film is landing low on the hierarchy of critical reputation for Warner Bros.’ last decade of superhero entries. With reviews hitting for the Dwayne Johnson vehicle this afternoon, “Black Adam” currently stands at a mediocre 30% approval rating from top critics on the the review-aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes. Should the number stand, it would mark the lowest such figure for a DC film since 2017’s “Justice League,” which netted a 23% approval rating from top critics and was so reviled among fans that a reworked version was eventually ordered by Warner Bros., arriving in the form of “Zack Snyder’s Justice League” in 2021.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson shocked fans more than once during Monday’s episode of "The Kelly Clarkson Show." Johnson joined the longtime singer for a segment of "Kellyoke," and the pair sang a country duet. Fans were stunned to hear Johnson’s vocals as he sang the late Loretta Lynn’s "Don’t Come Home a Drinkin’" alongside Clarkson.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic SPOILER ALERT: The following review contains mild spoilers for “Black Adam.” It’s kind of a cheat, casting someone as massive as Dwayne Johnson to play a DC superhero — or antihero, in the case of “Black Adam,” an action-packed, adolescent-skewing standalone that presents the swole Samoan star as a nearly invincible global threat. Black Adam is basically an A-bomb in human form, whose emergence from a 5,000-year lockdown calls for emergency intervention by the Justice Society of America, or “JSA,” which dispatches four glorified bench-warmers to contain the situation: Hawkman (Aldis Hodge, gruff), Atom Smasher (Noah Centineo, doofy), Cyclone (Quintessa Swindell, colorful) and Doctor Fate (Pierce Brosnan, the standout, even if his character reads like a second-rate Doctor Strange).

It’s been a long wait — nearly a decade, in fact — since Dwayne Johnson first signed on to become an integral part of the DC universe. He’s recently turned 50 (not that he looks it). But now, at last, he’s launched a big-league entry in the cinematic superpowers world with Black Adam.
