New footage for Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam movie shows the brutal aspects of the iconic DC Comics anti-hero. For nearly a decade, Johnson has been attached to bring Black Adam to life, as this would be the character's debut in live-action. While a Black Adam solo film has been in development for quite some time, it wasn't until 2021 that principal photography got underway. After years of waiting, fans will finally see Johnson join the DCEU as he takes the famous Shazam baddie and tackles him from an anti-hero perspective.
Black Adam will follow the origin story of how Teth-Adam becomes the DC legend that fans know and love from the comics. Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, the DCEU picture will also mark as the cinematic debut of the iconic superhero team Justice Society of America. Members like Hawkman, Doctor Fate, Cyclone, and Atom-Smasher will be showing up in Black Adam as they cross paths with Johnson's titular character. Originally slated for July 29, Black Adam got pushed back to October 21, as it and several DCEU films had to scramble their release dates due to the heavy VFX work that still needed to be completed.
