Dwayne Johnson’s upcoming movie Black Adam will be released in 2021. Fans have waited long to see Johnson, aka The Rock as the DC series’s antagonist on the big screen. Recently, DC revealed that Johnson would appear as Black Adam, which is directed by Jaume Collet-Serra.
Black Adam is a fictional character based on American comic books published by DC Comics. Otto Binder and C.C. Beck created the film. Black Adam is one of the nemeses of the Marvel Family and archenemies of the superhero. The character is depicted initially as the corrupted Egyptian predecessor of Captain Marvel, who fought his way to challenge the hero. The writers of DC, including Geoff Johns, David S. Goyer, and Jerry Ordway, re-defined the character of Black Adam as a corrupted antagonist attempting to clear his reputation and name. The first time the character appeared in Captain Marvel comics was during Fawcett’s initial publication run. Black Adam is named Teth-Adam, which means “Mighty Human,” chosen by wizard Shazam to be his successor. Now when the movie is preparing for the character, there will be much more than just introducing Black Adam as the lead character of DC Extended Universe.
There is plenty of excitement among fans regarding Black Adam, and hence the wait seems even longer. Warner Bros. and DC scheduled the movie’s release date is somewhere December 2021 and has plans to work on the production underway by this point. However, that was before Hollywood shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic. The production is still having the impact of COVID-19, as Johnson himself confirmed as corona positive. And the team has rescheduled the shooting dates.
In an interview with Variety, the producer of Black Adam, Hiram Garcia, shared the busy schedule of Johnson and the Seven Bucks Productions company. When asked by the magazine about the shooting of Black Adam, he confirmed that filming is not possible to start until next year. Garcia confirmed that the shoot could begin anytime in the first quarter of 2021, between January and March. However, some of the film’s cast is announced along with the Rock, including Noah Centineo as the character of Atom Smasher. At the same time, other heroes like Doctor Fate, Cyclone, and Hawkman are yet to be cast.
Gracia explained that their entire production team, with director Jaume Collet-Serra, has giant ambition for the film and has great plans for the characters, including the new members they are introducing from Atom Smasher to Hawkman and Doctor Fate. They feel it is an excellent opportunity to bring together all the characters in a film which fans have never got a chance to see. He added that with Black Adam, the power hierarchy is going to change in the DC Universe because he is going to change the game.
Some high profile TV productions and films have started their production in Hollywood, but Black Adam is delayed until next year because of Johnson’s busy schedule. As he is one of the most wanted A-listed actors of Hollywood, he always has a full plate of projects. The future spikes of COVID-19 positive cases could shut down Hollywood again, and which would ultimately delay the production of Black Adam. Even if the filming started at the beginning of 2021, fans should prepare themselves that the release date could be delayed again until sometime in 2022. For now, Johnson is busy with his upcoming Netflix action film, Red Notice.
The above is all about Dwayne Johnson’s upcoming film Black Adam and the related recent updates. I hope you liked the article.
