Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is getting in shape for his role as Black Adam in DC’s “Shazaam.”
The actor posted a video on his Instagram account of himself on the way to the gym in South Florida. It was pouring rain due to the Hurricane season, but Johnson channeled his inner Hugh Jackman for motivation.
“Wolverine would go.. #HurricaneSeason #ThunderAndLightning #FindAWay #SomewhereBlackAdamIsSmiling,” Johnson captioned his post.
Jackman responded to Johnson’s video, claiming he was at the gym working on his Wolverine body before 6 a.m.
“Hey DJ, it’s not hurricane season, but it’s 5:45 [AM]. We’re at the gym. Focus!” Jackman said in the video.
Check out the actors’ Instagram posts below. Little is known about the “Shazaam” movie, but Johnson announced his role of Black Adam on Sept. 3.
“‘Kneel at his feet or get crushed by his boot.’ My honor to become #BlackAdam #TheAntiHero #DCComics,” Johnson wrote.
Johnson teased his connection to the DC production back in July during an interview with TotalFilm. At the time the actor was allegedly deciding on whether he’d be taking on the role of Black Adam or Shazaam.
“There’s a character out there that we’re going to announce soon,” Johnson said. “He has the power of Superman. And it’s not the Green Lantern by the way. Believe me – Jon Stewart – he is a character who I wanted to play, but there was already a version of Green Lantern, and so now we’ve gone in a slightly different direction. But this character has the power of Superman. He can throw down…Just say the word. That’s all I’m going to say.”
