Earlier this summer, Johnson teased his DC role in an interview, stating, "Just say the word," leading the Internet to explode in Shazam speculation. Then the Black Adam rumors came up as well, all leading to this week's Twitter post officially revealing his true role in the new project.

Johnson posted the following Black Adam quote to his Twitter: "Kneel at his feet or get crushed by his boot."

Accompanying the menacing picture, "The Rock" said it is his "honor to become" Black Adam.
