Dwayne Johnson is fit and ready for battle in the first image of his upcoming film “Black Adam.” On Saturday, the “Black Adam” DC FanDome panel will give the first glimpse of the film, which debuts after December 22, 2021.
Johnson posted the image on Instagram Friday ahead of the FanDome panel.
“The hierarchy of power in DC UNIVERSE is about to change, ‘he wrote. “Black Adam arrives at #DCFanDome tomorrow. Personally, I commend my Warner Bros. and DC partners for creating this historic opportunity for fans to absorb our entire DC universe while we all continue to manage COVID’s challenges. Well done. The man in black comes to crush them all. ”
Johnson first announced his involvement in a 14-post Instagram post featuring conceptual art of the character, alongside an emotional title that described what the role meant to him.
“I’m honored to be part of the iconic #DCUniverse and it’s a real pleasure to be a Black Adam,” he wrote. ‘Black Adam is blessed by magic with the powers equal to Superman, but the difference is that he does not go on the sign or run the line. He’s a rebellious, one-of-a-kind superhero who will always do what’s right for the people – but he does it his way. Truth and justice – the Black Adam way. This role is no different than any other I have ever played in my career and I am grateful for the bone that we will all have together on this journey. “
‘Black Adam’ is a spinoff of Warner Bros. and “Shazam!” From New Line, which premieres in 2019. Johnson was considered to play Black Adam as the villain of the film, but the plan fell through.
Jaume Collet-Serra, who also directed Johnson on ‘Jungle Cruise’, is helping with the project. The film is slated for release on December 22, 2021, after it was delayed due to shutdowns of production caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
