just watched a video on this, seems dc are going for a different feel for this film (throwing anything at the wal and expecting it to stick?).
anyone recall the greatest american hero?

Was that the kids show back in the 80s/90s where he had to learn how to use his super powers and kept fudging the take offs?
Wasn't his confident/side-kick the dude from Highway to Heaven?

If it fails, it's because 'misogynist white men innit'............rather than the fact it was st.

Apparently, Rock is tied to the main baddie of shazam, called, black adam, but dc is in disarray, and rock's star is fading so who knows if that film will get made
I’d be happy if my star was similarly fading.https://movieweb.com/dwayne-johnson-highest-paid-a...

Sooner or later the industry will realise that women (in the main) find action films boring regardless of the gender of the protagonist.

If anyone had suggested $1.5b for Jumanji and Rampage nine months ago every exec would have bitten their hand off for it.
If he's fading he's doing a cracking job on the way out. His overseas draw is huge, way, waaaaay more than his US impact these days in fact. Two 'original' (in the loosest sense) non-franchise movies were always going to be a bit of a risk this summer, but even Rampage still outperformed Solo globally, for example.

JUmanji did well, that too is history, he has two films out now, one is flopping, the other is pulling decent numbers, he is overstretched. He has J2 and a film that is very similar opening within a month next year, plus his agent may be a bit...much. This isn't stuff I'm pulling from thin air, just going off biz chat. He is waning, that may be a temporary thing, it's not anything to me, I don't know and don't care.If he's fading he's doing a cracking job on the way out.

Solo was a mega-flop
this isn't exactly new stuff, actors careers wax and wane, and the space in between can be invisible sometimes, it's an ongoing process
