I certainly do not think that they went to see Black Adam for love to the DC Universe.

>Which ones should I care about?

You should not care about anyone if they are not your thing, but to say that "they don't count because they are in popular movies or are named Tom Cruise" is super weird.

The Rock is #14 in the list of most grossing actors (it will probably go higher since apparently the movie is doing very well). Some people care about him and think it is a good fit for the role.
