The former WWE legend has long promised that the movie will change the DC hierarchy, and reviews plus its box office success are proving him correct, with critics calling the movie "epic on every level" and a "game-changer".

According to Deadline, the movie grossed $67 million in the US and $140 million worldwide in its opening weekend.

Balfe has said he created a score that reflects the Rock's larger than life personality combined with the character of Black Adam.

"The Black Adam main theme, I'd like to think when you close your eyes and you see The Rock, that's what you hear," Balfe told Comicbook.com.

"There was taking a pinch of his personality, as well as the character of Black Adam. It all had to go together. It's been a great feedback, regarding it."
