'The Rock' Johnson stands in the center of the image, mid-stride. He wears a skin-tight suit that is dark gray and covers his chest, arms, and down through his legs. The suit has a cracked texture, like lava rock or charred wood. A large, bulky leather belt sits around his waist, the same color of the suit, but a smoother texture. In the middle of Johnson's chest is a large orange lightening bolt that glows as if made of lava. Johnson stares straight ahead, eyes hooded. Behind him is an elaborate hallway with intricate wall designs of gold, emerald, and blue.

Christian Bale is on the left, slightly leaning forward, looking at something or someone we cannot see. He is in a tan tweed suite with a green bowtie. To Bale's right is Margot Robbie. Robbie looks at Bale out the corners of her eyes with uncertainty. Her hair is in a loose bob and she wears a black coat, a pink kerchief around her neck poking through under its collar. Right of Robbie is John David Washington. He wears a black suite with a tan waistcoat and red tie. He is looking at the same person Bale is, though his glance is one of skepticism, eyes hooded.
