10 Actors Whose Next Movie Might Be Their Best

10. Dwayne Johnson - Black Adam

As charismatic and badass as The Rock might be, it's fair to say that he doesn't exactly have a pile of critically revered smash hit movies to his name - his career to date is largely defined by commercially successful, low-investment blockbusters that received mixed reviews from critics.

But Dwayne Johnson just might change that with Black Adam, where he'll portray the iconic DC anti-hero in a film that will allegedly shift the very power hierarchy of the DC Extended Universe.

Johnson is basically a real-life action figure and so casting him as the arch-nemesis of the Justice League makes a whole lot of sense.

After all, if Black Adam is going to be a palpable threat to the likes of Superman and Shazam in future movies, only an actor of Johnson's stature will truly suffice.

But given the utterly uneven state of the DCEU, audiences couldn't really be blamed for keeping their expectations low. And yet, according to reputable leaker ViewerAnon, Black Adam was test-screened last December and went down well with attendees.

With rock solid director Jaume Collet-Serra (Jungle Cruise) helming, Black Adam could deliver a career-redefining hit for Johnson that's positively received by both critics and audiences alike.

If nothing else, seeing Johnson in something other than a totally generic jungle-faring action-adventure movie will be a welcome change, especially in a superhero movie with as off-kilter potential as Black Adam.
