- The Rock has been talking about playing anti-hero Black Adam since 2014 and now we finally have an idea of how he’ll look in the suit.
- Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson shared concept art of him as the DC character on Instagram Thursday.
- “My superhero dreams have come true,” Johnson wrote on Instagram. “I’m honored to join the iconic #DCUniverse and it’s a true pleasure to become, Black Adam.”
- If you think he looks similar to Zachary Levi’s Shazam, you’re not mistaken.
- In the comics, Black Adam is a nemesis to Shazam. Both have powers similar to Superman granted to them by magic.
- It’s unclear at this point whether or not the Rock’s movie will connect directly to “Shazam” at all or if this will be a standalone.
- “Black Adam” will be in theaters on December 22, 2021. You can check out the artwork from legendary DC Comics artist Jim Lee and BossLogic below.
