With the rest of the DCEU currently in fluctuation, it’ll be interesting to see how the company handles this character, especially with such a huge star like Johnson in the role.

Black Adam will star Dwayne Johnson, who has been known to star as the popular anti-hero for some time now. The film will be directed by Jaume-Collet-Serra, with a screenplay written by Rory Haines and Sohrab Noshiryani. Black Adam is reportedly set to feature the live-action introduction of the Justice Society of America, with Pierce Brosnan as Doctor Fate, Noah Centineo as Atom Smasher, Quintessa Swindell as Cyclone, and Aldis Hodge as Hawkman.

Black Adam is currently scheduled for release on July 29, 2022, having been pushed back from a December 2021 release.
