Black Adam Set Video Marks Filming Wrap On Dwyane Johnson DCEU Movie
A Black Adam set video shared by Dwayne Johnson marks the official filming wrap on the DC Extended Universe movie slated for release this fall. For the former WWE wrestler turned movie star, his debut as Black Adam has been years in the making. The Rock was originally attached to star as the villain in 2019's Shazam!, though those plans were scrapped to give the character his own film. Black Adam was once planned for a December 2021 release date, but the timeline was severely delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Johnson leads the Black Adam cast as the titular antihero alongside Noah Centineo as Atom Smasher, Aldis Hodge as Hawkman, Quintessa Swindell as Cyclone, and Pierce Brosnan as Doctor Fate, all members of the Justice Society of America. Johnson reunites with Jungle Cruise director Jaume Collet-Serra on Black Adam, which was written by Adam Sztykiel, Rory Haines, and Sohrab Noshirvani. Precise plot details for the film remain elusive, though it is expected to tell an origin story for Shazam's archnemesis, a slave from Kahndaq who is granted powers by the ancient wizard Shazam and imprisoned for 5,000 years after abusing his abilities.
