Black Adam Announced for Dec 2021
- Thread starter Penguin
- Start date
Thank God. I hope it gets sequels so that Rock is too busy for an mbs backed presidential run.
DCEU needs to keep at it, Shazam was great imo. I wanna see Lobo down the line.

Can't wait for this to be a gritty film about Black Adam trying to become a comedian whilst going CUHRAZY
You have to know that rock is gonna basically gonna headline the franchise along with Batman and wonder man and aquaman, possibly Superman if they sort that out.
It's obviously should be Sherlock, but maybe this plays like jumanji and greatest showman and how Star Wars was supposed to decimate those.
the rock knows what's up.
hopefully because his cavill connection and star power he makes WB bring back supes.
Black Adam and the Justice League ain't on good terms in any incarnation
Black Adam is a fantastic character first of all. But he is usually positioned as an antagonist for Shazam, who is light hearted and good natured.
Black Adam is dead serious-always. He's usually not portrayed as a straight up villain, but usually an anti-hero with dark tendencies. He will straight up just murder people. He's also the ruler of a Middle East country called Kahndaq-and while he isn't a dictator per se, he's a very stern ruler - albeit one who truly loves and protects his country.
The power set and origin is also of course very similar to Shazam so it will be weird to see it done again on screen without Shazam there.
WB pushed Sherlock back a full year so another move up or back is very possible.
Wouldn't say it'd be weird as well his circumstances are very different from shazam and his family. And well, black adam is super old, so if they do his origin straight up. It would be weird to see billy and family there.
Oh yeah forgot WB are the ones making Sherlock as well. No way they release both the same day then
Knowing nothing about this character, I'm sitting here on Black Adam's wikipedia and I'm confused about his use of the word "superhero" also.
If they really wanted to be controversial, they could turn him into some kind of quasi-sympathetic Killmonger type character easily enough since slavery seems like a big part of his backstory.
I love The Rock but what makes you think he knows what's up? Rampage? San Andreas? Skyscraper? Baywatch? Central Intelligence? Hercules?
Honestly the only way I could be less excited for this movie is if it came out that it was actually a Terminator movie
To be fair, on the DCEU, "heroes" mow down their enemies with machine guns and destroy whole cities on fights. So Black Adam won't be out of touch with them.
Wow, can't wait for Warner Bros to adapt World War 3 to really flesh out Black Adam's character.
Black Adam flirts with being an anti hero. He's not like completely evil, but he will kill if he finds it necessary.
