Dwayne Johnson on his long fight to bring "Black Adam" to theaters
CBSN
From The Scorpion King to the Tooth Fairy, Dwayne Johnson has played countless characters in Hollywood — except a superhero. Enter "Black Adam," Johnson's newest role, which was well over a decade in the making.
Johnson told "CBS Mornings" co-host Gayle King he loved DC Comics and Superman as a child, but couldn't relate to him. It was different with Black Adam.
"When I first saw a 'Black Adam' comic book and I saw the cover, he looked intense. He had brown skin, and he was a superhero? I said, 'That's my guy. I wanna be him,'" Johnson said.
