Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson wants Jumanji co-star Kevin Hart to be part of Jaume Collet-Serra's Black Adam.
Speaking to ET Canada to promote Jumanji: The Next Level, Johnson and Hart spoke about reuniting for Black Adam. Hart said, "We’ve already discussed it. We talked about it earlier, so we’re finding that out. No matter what, he’s not going to do it and not put me in it. How selfish would that be?”
Johnson added, "We’ve got to find the part for Kevin in Black Adam within the DC Universe."
Hart and Johnson first worked together on 2016's Central Intelligence. Since then, the comedic duo has starred together in the two Jumanji movies and Hart even nabbed a cameo in 2019's Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. Apart from starring in 2008 spoof Superhero Movie, Black Adam would be Hart's first foray into comic book movies.
At this time, little is known about Black Adam, and there's no word on the movie in terms of cast or characters, though the Justice Society of America will play a role.
2019 has been a year of Hart grabbing headlines. A series of controversial tweets resulted in him stepping down from hosting the Academy Awards. The actor was also hospitalized following a car accident.
Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, Black Adam stars Dwayne Johnson. The film is scheduled to arrive in theaters Dec. 22, 2021. Production is expected to kick off in July.
