Black Adam is an American superhero film based on the DC Comics character of the same name. The film is set to be directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and will star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson as the titular character. It has been released in theaters on July 29, 2022.
Introduction
Black Adam is a character from the DC Comics universe who is known for his superhuman strength and powers. He is the arch-nemesis of the superhero Shazam, and the two characters have a long and storied history together in the comics. The Black Adam movie will be the first live-action film adaptation of the character, and it is set to be a major blockbuster event for DC Comics and Warner Bros. Pictures.
Cast and Crew
The Black Adam movie will be directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, a Spanish filmmaker who has previously directed a number of action and horror films, including The Shallows, Orphan, and Unknown. Collet-Serra is known for his ability to create tense and thrilling action sequences, and it is expected that he will bring this skill to bear on the Black Adam movie.
PlotNot much is known about the plot of the Black Adam movie at this time. The film is expected to be an origin story for the character, exploring his beginnings and the events that led him to become the powerful superhero (or supervillain, depending on your perspective) that he is known as today. It is also expected that the film will explore the relationship between Black Adam and Shazam, and how the two characters came to be enemies.
In the comics, Black Adam is a powerful superhero who was originally chosen by the gods to be a champion for good. However, he becomes corrupted by his own power and turns to the side of evil, becoming a major antagonist for Shazam and the other heroes of the DC Universe. It is unclear at this time how closely the Black Adam movie will follow this comic book origin story, but it is expected that the film will draw heavily from the source material.
