Dwayne \u201cThe Rock\u201d Johnson made a surprise appearance at CinemaCon during Warner Bros.\u2019s presentation on Tuesday night, working the crowd and wooing some of the exhibition heavyweights like AMC\u2019s Adam Aron and Cinemark\u2019s Sean Gamble, all as he hyped up \u201cBlack Adam\u201d and \u201cDC League of Super Pets,\u201d each with new trailers. <\/p>\n

At first, it looked like The Rock would be phoning it in with a taped appearance, but it turned out he was sitting in front of a backdrop of a Hawaii horizon and instead walked through the crowd and then out on stage. Johnson truly played the part of the biggest movie star in the world and made his pitch about how his Seven Bucks Production is working to bring people back to theaters with both of his DC films. <\/p>\n

He even told a story about his mom visiting Cinemark locations hoping to speak with the manager and asking to bring home the promotional stand-ups from some of Johnson\u2019s movies. \u201cI got the call from Bob Iger\u2026Your mom is stealing the signs,\u201d he told the crowd to laughs. <\/p>\n

Johnson first dropped a new look at \u201cSuper-Pets,\u201d in which Johnson\u2019s lovable dog Krypto foils Superman\u2019s attempt to go on a date with Lois Lane. The film opens in theaters on July 29.<\/p>\n

As for \u201cBlack Adam,\u201d Johnson said that he\u2019s been discussing the idea of \u201cBlack Adam\u201d for the last 10 years. He described the Black Adam character as \u201cDirty Harry\u201d of the superhero world. In thef first trailer for the film, Black Adam responds to a comment from another character in the film saying, \u201cHeroes don\u2019t kill people,\u201d to which he replies, \u201cWell I do.\u201d The trailer shows Johnson enduring waves of machine gun fire and catching a rocket in mid-air with a wave of explosions to boot. <\/p>\n

\u201cI was a slave until I died. Then I was reborn a God. I kneel before no one,\u201d he says in the brief trailer. <\/p>\n

Johnson produces and stars in \u201cBlack Adam,\u201d which is his live-action entry into the DC universe and reunites him with \u201cJungle Cruise\u201d director Jaume Collet-Serra. He co-stars with Noah Centineo, Aldis Hodge, Sarah Shahi, Quintessa Swindell and Pierce Brosnan.<\/p>\n

Warner Bros. and DC are now releasing the film in theaters on October 21, 2022. <\/p>\n
