Black Adam Announced for Dec 2021
- Thread starter Penguin
- Start date
Adam tends to, unless he has a specific objective, fall on the darker side of good guy more than on the side of villainy. He just has no qualms or hesitation crossing that line when he deems it the correct course of action. More Namor than Doom.
If Rock thinks Adams a happy go lucky hero, surely DC and the film crew will steer him in the right direction?
Lmao.
Since 2017 the topic of The Rock running for president has come up from time to time. He himself says he wouldn't rule out a run. In 2018 he met with MBS, Bob Iger, Morgan Freeman, and I forget who else, for a private dinner at Rupert Murdoch's house.
Black Adam is a major villain of Shazam. It would be miss to not have some sort of mention.
Doubly so if they're going with a "reformed supervillain" angle as it sounds from the tweet.
Would be very odd to just present Black Adam as a hero with no mention of any of his past.
Thanks for the heads up.
Given the DCEU's direction, he should be a good fit, unless they try to make it straight up goofy fun like Shazam.
that's what I mean. the styling of the Shazam movie doesn't make for an accurate portrayal of Black Adam with BA as a star/co-star. I guess they could make a third movie that combines the two styles in a way. but when Shazam and BA meet, they'll have to fight as enemies.
Shazam referenced what black adam did, tho I guess it doesn't really give a time frame. Just "distance past." So lots of leway on when the movie could take place.
It's from the wizards perspective but I'm assuming black adam either killed or was directly responsible for killing the other councilor wizards. As well as lots and lots of other people in pursuit of some kind of revenge.
Fairly vauge since it backstory for a modern set movie, but still a good starting point to what happened then
He's a villain. Doctor Octopus played hero as Spider-Man for a while. Doctor Doom dressed up like Iron Man. Lex Luthor was in the Justice League. None of this changes what they fundamentally are.
Toingvup against avatar 2 is ballsy. But young uo against star wars worked wonders for Jumanji.
That's not the best comparison one can make. Especially when you know homelanders history.
No one really knows, but yeah that rumor has gone around a bit. Given that this can really take place anytime in the past, characters that can live longer or whose civilizations have been around awhile could show up.
Hell I wouldn't be surprised at a lantern Cameo.
Yeah...I don't think he knows Black Adam..like at all...nor does the rest of DCEU apparently. Wth

I'm pretty sure it's just promo from accounts wb owns. Not a "black Adam is definitely joining the justice league and endorse this new hero for kids" kinda thing. I'm guessing the movie is gonna start with the audience being fully on his side, and slowly pealing them back with his actions.
Like going to see thor and expecting a hero but then he kills millions of people at the end.
Surprised nobody ever thought of casting an actor from Egypt or something but I guess Rock has been fan casted for a long ass time. Didn't really like Shazam so curious to see how different Black Adam will be to it.
He's very similar to both yes, he is good in regards to his country khandaq. But he often does bad things in service of his country.
That would be great
I'm not convinced his brand image will let Black Adam be played as much of a villain, or atleast an asshole, that he's supposed to.
Shit like his hype-men on the sidelines of Hobbs and Shaw being like "Dwayne cannot be hit more than x amount of times" is like the most diva-ass shit.
Characters can be reworked and allowed to shine in new ways. They may even make him make more sense than he usually does.
I hope they keep it separate from Shazam and just do their own thing. Let's explore Black Adam without that geek.
The JSA is going to be in this thing. I would do anything for full JSA movie.
The other rumors have said the film will have Hawkman, Dr. Fate, and Isis.
If so it looks like they are still going forward with some sort of DCEU. They're probably testing the waters to roll out movies for some of these other characters.
Holy shit, freaking Isis. Please be true.
Oh and Dr. Fate is cool too. Hawkman, no real opinion, since i'm only familiar with Hawkgirl from the justice league show.
I can imagine a rock runs for president and wins this what what happened at the inauguration:
Rock: so Trump oh, you want me to go ahead and pardon all of your crimes while in office?
Trump: well yea I would like to....
Rock: IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT YOU WANT!!!
(Rock slams Trump on ground and people elbows him...Trump is unconscious)
Rock: Take this Jabroni out of my face and throw his ass in jail!! (Police drags him out along with many of his staff)
