The stars of DC FanDome have been plaguing the upcoming superhero event for the past few weeks. Those who will be hyping the comic book of the year (sorry SDCC) include Dwayne Johnson – AKA The Rock – who will be showing son Adam on screens.
By taking to Instagram, Johnson has uploaded a video in which the camera slowly looks into a corridor before * FLASH * Black Adam crashes. It’s an almost flashy-and-you-miss-the-moment, but it’s a seductive look at what’s coming.
“The hierarchy of power in DC UNIVERSE is about to change,” Johnson wrote next to the video. “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 confirmed that a Black Adam movie is back in November last year, yet the actor has been linked to the role for years. In fact, Total Film first reported on the casting back in 2014 when Johnson tweeted: “‘Kneel on his feet as chalk shrinks through his belly.’ “My honor to become … Black Adam.”
There were rumors at the time that Johnson could play Captain Marvel, AKA Shazam, but instead that character was brought to life by Zachary Levi.
Black Adam is expected to hit cinemas on December 22, 2021, though that date may change. Filming would begin in July, but was postponed due to the coronavirus. We’ll have more news about the movie at DC FanDome – here you can watch the event.
