In the caption, Rocky claims that Black Adam ruled "before" the time of superheroes. He also referred to the character as "a god with zero mercy" before tagging Warner Brothers, DC Comics, and Seven Bucks Productions.
"Long before the world of heroes and villans, #BlackAdam ruled it all. A god with zero mercy and power born from rage. The #ManInBlack hits theaters worldwide… ONE MONTH FROM TODAY. OCTOBER 21," he wrote.

A potential WWE return for The Rock was recently pitched by Triple H during an interview with Ariel Helwani. The Game spoke passionately about Rocky possibly headlining WrestleMania in his new hometown of Hollywood.
What was the fan reaction to The Rock's new trailer?
Wrestling fans and movie fans alike have taken to Twitter in response to Dwayne Johnson's post.
Some fans were angered by the prescience of footage from 2017's Justice League in the trailer.
@TheRock @SevenBucksProd @DCComics @wbpictures Josstice League clip lol
@TheRock @SevenBucksProd @DCComics @wbpictures Jostice league stepenwolf🤮
If there are any scenes from 2017 jostice league in the movie, i will pass the movie. https://t.co/kNTgvcIzZ4
@TheRock @SevenBucksProd @DCComics @wbpictures I cannot support a film that considers Josstice League as Canon . It is a joke . Especially given the onset abuse nevermind the fact it’s terrible . Really disappointed.
@TheRock @SevenBucksProd @DCComics @wbpictures Oh... Not a cool memory to see a Josstice League scene again 😅
Showing a scene of Zack Snyder's Justice League with Darkseid would have been a LOT better. https://t.co/Fp4UtEM1fC
One fan was less angry, simply sharing a GIF of Johnson as the Black Adam.
@TheRock @SevenBucksProd @DCComics @wbpictures 🙌 https://t.co/zlNV8aTE6p
One angry fan even referenced WrestleMania in a tweet that claimed Rocky "had no idea" what fans want.
@TheRock @SevenBucksProd @DCComics @wbpictures Rock proved with one trailer that he has no idea what fans want lol this wrestlemania marketing strategy is falling face first 🥴
The Rock's last match came at WrestleMania 32, and was an impromptu affair against Erick Rowan. In the contest, Johnson scored the fastest win in WrestleMania history.
