The DC Comics adaptation ‘Black Adam’, in which we will watch Hollywood’s highest-paid actor Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson with 87.5 million dollars, finally came to life after a long wait.
The first footage from the movie, which has been in the making for more than 10 years, focusing on the story of antihero Black Adam, another comic book character Shazam’s sworn nemesis; Johnson personally shared it as part of the DC Fandome, a fan event.
The movie has been in production since 2007
Rumors that Dwayne Johnson will play Shazam or Black Adam actually go as far back as 2007. In 2014, Johnson was hired to appear as Black Adam in the movie ‘Shazam!’; however, when the producers later decided that it would be better for the character to have a movie of his own, Johnson did not appear in Shazam, which came out in 2019 and starred Zachary Levi.
“This movie, this universe has been a huge passion project for me for a very long time,” Johnson said before getting a first look at the movie, expressing how excited he was for the movie. Johnson also underlined that Black Adam has some of the strongest action sequences among the films he has been cast in. Apart from Johnson’s character, Black Adam will also focus on members of the Justice Society. Aldis Lodge as Hawkman, who can fly thanks to his custom-made metal wings, Noah Centineo as Atom Smasher, who can control molecules to change their size, density and strength, Quintessa Swindell as the Cyclone character who can control the wind, and Archaeologist Doctor Fate, who turns into a powerful wizard thanks to the Helmet of Fate, and Pierce Brosnan. is located. Here’s a first look at Black Adam:
In the director’s chair, Jaume Collet-Serra, who previously worked with Johnson on Disney’s hit movie “Jungle Cruise”, sits in Black Adam’s screenplay by Rory Haines, Sohrab Noshirvani and Adam Sztykiel. Black Adam is expected to hit theaters on July 29, 2022.
