Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson didn't take long to put down his old buddy Kevin Hart during his Black Adam panel at San Diego Comic-Con.
The two can barely go two weeks without firing shots at each other and the Black Adam lead has taken his opportunity on the big stage of Hall H.
He was taking questions from fans when the perfect opportunity arose to make fun of the comedian.

Mason probably didn't realise just how well he'd set up the former WWE star for a burn when he asked if Kevin Hart was jealous of The Rock's role in Black Adam, but Johnson definitely didn't waste any time at all in taking advantage of the question.
He complimented the young fan for his 'great question' and responded: "Yes, Kevin Hart gets jealous of everything. But also, I'm pretty good with height and you're already taller than Kevin Hart."
The insult caused the hall to burst into laughter and a few of his castmates got off their seats in disbelief at what The Rock just cooked up in reply to a fan who's probably not even hit his tenth birthday yet.
It's great to see that banter doesn't really evolve even when you're worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
The two, of course, get on perfectly well and it's all in good spirit, with Kevin Hart bound to respond in no time at all.
The panel was part of DC's showcase at Comic-Con, with their landmark movie being The Rock's debut into the DC Extended Universe (DCEU).
He claimed during the panel that the movie would 'usher in a new era for DC films' when it drops on October 21st later this year.
Warner Brothers will certainly be hoping it does, as it's reported to be one of the most expensive movies of 2022.
He made a big entrance at the event, floating above the stage with smoke and lightning around him as he declared: "The DC Universe will never be the same again."
Johnson then went on to say the superhero would be a close match for Superman in a fight, stating: "Pound for pound they’re pretty close… it all depends on who is playing Superman."
The A-lister rounded off the panel by giving everyone in the hall (around 6,500 people) a free IMAX ticket to watch Black Adam.
So all in all a pretty good day for The Rock. He levitated, got cheered by thousands of fans and completely demolished Kevin Hart with just a few words.
