For the DC FanDome event yesterday (August 22), Johnson first shared a picture of his character on Instagram.
“The hierarchy of power in DC UNIVERSE is about to change,” Johnson wrote in the post.
“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. ”

Later, at the DC FanDome event, Johnson then unveiled a teaser trailer full of concept art along with a look at some of the other characters from the film.
The trailer gave a run down of Black Adam’s history from slavery to freedom, something Johnson later posted over another post on Instagram.
“This is the one who changes everything,” Johnson wrote. There are no more chains around this neck and I am no longer a slave. And now you have my word. No one will ever stop me again and the hierarchy of power in the DC UNIVERSE is about change.
“Vow to always protect and champion my champion. THANK YOU #DCFanDome for that absolutely electrifying love and hype for our BLACK ADAM panel. Our entire team and myself are deeply committed and passionate about delivering the bone a story you will love and build our DC Universe. ‘

Johnson announced his first role in the project last November first where he described his character in more detail.
“I’m honored to be part of the iconic #DCUniverse and it’s a real pleasure to be a Black Adam,” he wrote at the time. ‘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 good 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 in pre-production and is expected to be released in December 2022 following delays in filming due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
