As we’ve pointed out before, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is one of the busiest men in Hollywood. According to ScreenCrush, however, that doesn’t stop him from dedicating time to his social media empire.

Johnson is very active on several platforms, including Twitter, where he recently debuted the first poster for Moana, Disney’s latest offering. He also teased the film’s first trailer, which will apparently arrive this Sunday.

The film follows a young woman (Moana) and a demi-god (Maui) as they journey to a legendary island, and this simple, yet stunning poster does a great job of conveying the sense of excitement and adventure that underpins the tale. Both principles are pictured on a makeshift sailboat, perched atop the crest of a crystal-blue swell. “The ocean is calling.” reads the text, and the full image is embedded below.

If it you’re craving something a bit more substantial, however, you don’t have long to wait for the teaser. Arriving this weekend, it should give us a better idea of what Moana (Auli’i Cravalho), Maui (Johnson), and company have in store for us.

Fresh off the massive hit that was Zootopia, Disney will be looking to hit a home run with this one and keep its momentum going.

As for the actor who spilled the beans, Johnson has a dizzying number of projects on his slate, including Fast 8, Rampage, Baywatch, Jumanji, and Doc Savage. His latest — Central Intelligence — is an buddy spy comedy and pairs him with pint-sized comedian Kevin Hart. That film hits theaters June 17.

As for Moana, the animated adventure will sail into theaters everywhere November 23

Benoit Blanc returns in first trailer for Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
Daniel Craig in Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery.

In late 2019, writer and director Rian Johnson's Knives Out was an unexpected hit. There aren't a lot of comical murder mysteries burning up the box office the way that one did. That may be why Netflix pulled the trigger on two Knives Out sequels, the first of which will arrive later this year. Now, Netflix has unveiled the first trailer for Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. Former James Bond star Daniel Craig is reprising his role as detective Benoit Blanc. And as the title implies, Blanc has a new mystery to solve.

An antihero returns in the first trailer for Black Adam
Dwayne Johnson as Black Adam.

Have you ever wondered why Dwayne Johnson has dedicated over a decade of his life to bringing Black Adam to the big screen? As originally conceived, Black Adam was just a villain who was the darker reflection of Shazam (back when he was still allowed to be called Captain Marvel). Within the last two decades, Black Adam's portrayal in the comics has shifted from an unrepentant bad guy to an antihero who isn't truly evil. But it's a real stretch to call him a good guy.

The first trailer for Black Adam shows off some of the title character's impressive powers after he is freed in modern times. This may be one of the reasons why Johnson was so drawn to him. Black Adam has Superman-level strength, and no desire to hold back. The Man of Steel may prove to be more powerful, but Black Adam's ruthless streak may place him on a higher plateau. As the film's tagline says, "The hierarchy of the DC Universe is about to change."
