Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson may be the biggest Hollywood star on the planet, with hit movie after hit movie. Like all actors, they tend to have a box office flop from time to time, and he had one recently with Black Adam. Sadly, “The Great One” is distancing himself from the studio of that film.

The Rock has unfollowed both the Black Adam and Warner Bros. Discovery Instagram accounts. This leads many to believe he has given up on the DCU entirely.

It seems that Rock stopped following the official accounts on Instagram because of a change in “the hierarchy of power in the DC Universe.” Writer/director and new co-CEO of DC Studios at Warner Bros. James Gunn can be credited as the cause of the demise of the current DCEU.

Gunn is making some big changes to the DC universe. It started earlier this week that Henry Cavill will no longer be playing Superman in future films due to the DCEU getting full-blown reboot. This was very disappointing to a lot of the general audience, since Cavill appeared as Superman in a mid-credits Black Adam scene, giving fans hope for seeing more of Cavill in this role.

The movie’s poor performance, along with news of Cavill getting ousted, annoyed the WWE icon. The Rock pushed for Black Adam to fight other characters, and he was likely looking for his own Batman v. Superman-type movie where he squared off with Cavill.

We’ll see if Rock continues to do superhero films in the future. Perhaps Marvel Studios will have an interest in The People’s Champ.
