At one point during the photocall, he hugged some fans and posed for photographs with them. 

The action-packed trailer for the film, released just weeks ago, begins with a lifeless body floating in water, as Johnson’s title character proclaims, ‘My son sacrificed his life to save me’.

His son is seen being cut down while Adam is forced to watch, tortured by the sight of his dead son.

He is seen using his superhuman powers to fly through the city, unleashing a lightning blast from his hand.

‘These powers are not a gift, but a curse, born out of rage,’ he says, while holding his dead son.

Another shot shows him in his full black costume, surrounded by armed soldiers, who start opening fire… to no avail.

He catches one of the bullets between his thumb and forefinger, stating in another language, ‘Your magic is weak’ before taking out the soldiers one by one.

The $200million anti-hero film Black Adam meanwhile, has been branded ‘anti-entertaining’, ‘predictable’ and ‘overstuffed’ in the first wave of reviews. 

However, The Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw praised The Rock’s performance, saying: ‘Johnson’s massive bulk, planet-sized head and sly gift for deadpan humour all make him a great superhero.’

The film has been a passion project for The Rock, who was first mentioned for the role back in 2007, and many admired his drive to get the film off the ground after languishing for years in development hell. 

The action film reunites Dwayne with his Jungle Cruise director Jaume Collett-Serra in the hotly-anticipated flick, which is set for public release on October 21.

The comic action hero film also stars Pierce Brosnan, Quintessa Q. Swindell, Sarah and Noah Centineo.

Black Adam will be released in the U.S. and U.K. on October 21. 

However, The Rock has been praised for his performance, with one critic saying: 'Johnson's massive bulk, planet-sized head and sly gift for deadpan humour all make him a great superhero'
