Black Adam Will Finally Get Released On Xmas 2021

Dwayne Johnson has been cast as Black Adam back in what seems like 1989 but actually happened in 2014 and honestly, despite Johnson talking about it throughout the years, never thought this film would ever happen.

Until Now! As The Rock took to Instagram last night to reveal a pretty decent concept art/poster announcement we officially have a release date and it’ll be released SEVEN YEARS after originally cast.

The Man in Black ⚡️ Like most kids growing up, I dreamed about being a superhero. Having cool superpowers, fighting for what’s right and always protecting the people. It all changed for me, when I was 10yrs old and was first introduced to the greatest superhero of all time – SUPERMAN. As a kid, Superman was the hero I always wanted to be. But, a few years into my fantasy, I realized that Superman was the hero, I could never be. I was too rebellious. Too rambunctious. Too resistant to convention and authority. Despite my troubles, I was still a good kid with a good heart – I just liked to do things my way. Now, years later as a man, with the same DNA I had as a kid – my superhero dreams have come true. I’m honored to join the iconic #DCUniverse and it’s a true pleasure to become, BLACK ADAM. BLACK ADAM is blessed by magic with the powers equal to SUPERMAN, but the difference is he doesn’t toe the mark or walk the line. He’s a rebellious, one of a kind superhero, who’ll always do what’s right for the people – but he does it his way. Truth and justice – the BLACK ADAM way. This role is unlike any other I’ve ever played in my career and I’m grateful to the bone we’ll all go on this journey together. BLACK ADAM 12.22.21 ⚡️ Huge thank you to my friends, @jimlee and @bosslogic for this first time ever bad ass collaboration.

Black Adam will be coming to cinemas on December 22, 2021. Five days after Disney and Fox finally releases James Cameron’s Avatar 2.

If there one person that could take on Cameron and Avatar it’s Johnson as this man holds no fear as he successfully took on the might of Star Wars with a rebooted sequel of Jumanji.

Warner Bros (with their fancy new logo) and DC Films will also feel this could be a win as they proved with Aquaman making a billion at the box office last year in a crowded Christmas period.

In the IG post, Johnson talks about how much he wanted to be a superhero and how he’s looking forward to playing a role that is “unlike any other I’ve ever played in my career.”

This alone gets me excited as if you know the Black Adam character is he was given the powers of Superman by magic to protect an ancient Egyptian city and his wife and children.

Fuelled by rage he went murder the one who killed his family and over-threw the government of Khandaq and appointed himself ruler.

Then over the years, Black Adam has turned from Shazam’s greatest villain to one of DC’s greatest antiheroes.

I hope this is what we get with Johnson, as we’re never seen him play a villain before and believe if you remove the jokes and overall positive personality, he could be a great villain.

Production is set to start next year and Jungle Cruise’s Jaume Collet-Serra will be directing.

The question now is if after the critic and decent box office success if Shazam 2 will be following shortly after as WB and DC Films will be wanting both characters on screen together ASAP.
