Looks-wise, there’s never been a character more suited for the intimidating physicality of Dwayne Johnson. He basically is Black Adam, at least on the surface. Beyond that, since Black Adam is an ancient killer, the character himself is much quieter, darker, and very unlike the Johnson we’re used to seeing. That makes it a better performance, but a slightly weird one because it’s so against type.
