‘Black Adam’ has wrestler-turned-Hollywood superstar Dwayne Johnson as the powerful anti-hero and sworn nemesis of Shazam. After more than a decade in development, the film will release this October. Johnson was originally set to enter the DCEU in the 2019 Zachary Levi film, but his role was scrapped when the spinoff for his character was greenlit in 2017.

In October 2021, Johnson debuted a first look at the film on Twitter — which showed Black Adam breaking out of imprisonment after 5,000 years of captivity. “This character, this film, this universe has been a gigantic passion project of mine for a very long time,” Johnson said in the October video. “And the truth is, I was born to play Black Adam.”

The film will also introduce members of the ‘Justice Society of America’, an iconic group quite similar to the Justice League.

The superhero cast has Aldis Hodge as Hawkman, Noah Centineo as Atom Smasher, Quintessa Swindell as Cyclone, and Pierce Brosnan as Doctor Fate. The others are Marwan Kenzari, James Cusati-Moyer, Bodhi Sabongui, Mo Amer and Uli Latukefu, plus the villainous group, Intergang, will also appear in the film.
