More about Black Adam

Black Adam is one of the most awaited movies in the DC Extended Universe. The film will see the introduction of the DC supervillain character, which was earlier supposed to be introduced with the 2019 film Shazam. However, its makers decided to release two separate films. 

Despite his years-long acting career, Black Adam will mark Johnson's debut in the superhero genre. The character is more of an anti-hero who has similar power to that of Captain Marvel aka Shazam. Black Adam also originated as a corrupted Egyptian predecessor, who has derived his powers from ancient Egyptian gods. The character has been reinvented over the years as an anti-hero and has been teamed up with other DC superheroes and yet has remained a character out of himself. The movie is helmed by Jaume Collet-Serra, and is all set for its world premiere on October 21, 2022.
