The Rock May Be P*ssed About BLACK PANTHER Beating JUMANJI But He's All About "Wakanda Forever!"

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle exceeded expectations at the box office and despite the fact that Black Panther has come along and topped its records, Dwayne Johnson is a big supporter of the Marvel movie.

No one expected Jumanji to find the level of commercial success it did but with over $900 million at the worldwide box office ($387 million came from North America alone) but Black Panther has clawed through its domestic haul and looks set to easily top $1 billion worldwide. So, how does Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson feel about that? Well, he's not happy as you can see in the Instagram post below!

Okay, so he's only joking about being p*ssed but it's fun to hear his thoughts on Marvel's latest and it's clear that he was a fan of Ryan Coogler's work on Black Panther, going so far as to say "Wakanda Forever!" That's become a cry used to praise the movie and it wouldn't be at all surprising to see it adorning t-shirts for a long time to come. Now, just imagine The Rock in the Black Panther sequel?

He will, of course, be a little busy with Black Adam but stranger things have happened. For now, let us know your thoughts on these remarks from the actor in the comments section down below.

The Rock would be cool in Marvel. Who could he have played?

@Kevwebsz - Agreed, plus it's not like he would ever be on a DC film.

@Urubrodi - Well if Shazzam is i def see Black Adam happening.

@pitbull76 - It depends a lot on the success of that movie and how long the rock is willing to wait to play black adam. I doubt he will get his solo movie though.

@Urubrodi - I guess we will have to wait and see.

@Kevwebsz - I like the rock but he has no place in marvel. Marvel tends to hire real actors and not just people with the right physique. I think the rock is a very entertaining actor but lets be honest, he only plays the rock

I never went to see Jumanji, but I'm glad it was a success. And I'm glad my king is the talk of the town :)

It'll be fascinating to see if his character Teth-Adam and his nation Kahndaq can have as big an impact on Middle Easterners and people of Middle Eastern decent, it would be very topical with the situation occurring in Syria and the refugee crisis, would the US embrace such a character, anything perceived Muslim or from that part of the world is a no go for the pro Trump group, it'd be the first huge middle eastern mainstream character since 9/11, a big positive step, he's an interesting complex character.

@ARMUS - It doesn’t help that he’s being played by a half black half Samoan. I got nothing against the Rock but Teth-Adam really should have been played by an Arab if you want to go the Black Panther route of exploring middle eastern cultures and themes.
ARMUS
ARMUS - 2/26/2018, 3:12 AM
@AstonishingArachnid - yes, but understandable, like Marvel casting Boseman, an American and a name, the U.S. Is the money, they'll round out the cast with middle eastern actors, Dwayne is the only reason the movie gets made if it does at all, Dwayne is half Samoan, so inevitably there's Middle Eastern blood in there, also just on a surface level, besides Reeve as Superman can't think of another actor who looks as much like the Comic character, it's very weird, If it gets made hope it bucks the trend and ends up good.
