Dwayne Johnson Reveals ‘Black Adam’ Poster, Release Date

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has revealed the first poster (featured below), and a release date, for his DC superhero movie Black Adam.

The poster features concept art for Johnson’s anti-hero, created by digital artist Boss Logic and DC Comics artist Jim Lee. He posted it to his Instagram account on Thursday.

The poster also reveals the film’s release date: December 22, 2021.

The character was supposed to appear in this year’s Shazam opposite star Zachary Levi, but it was decided to push his debut to his own film. Levi has stated his character would eventually face off against Black Adam in a future film.

Here’s the poster.

Johnson included this on his Instagram post.

Like most kids growing up, I dreamed about being a superhero. Having cool superpowers, fighting for what’s right and always protecting the people.

It all changed for me, when I was 10yrs old and was first introduced to the greatest superhero of all time – SUPERMAN.

As a kid, Superman was the hero I always wanted to be.

But, a few years into my fantasy, I realized that Superman was the hero, I could never be.

I was too rebellious. Too rambunctious. Too resistant to convention and authority.

Despite my troubles, I was still a good kid with a good heart – I just liked to do things my way.

Now, years later as a man, with the same DNA I had as a kid – my superhero dreams have come true.

I’m honored to join the iconic #DCUniverse and it’s a true pleasure to become, BLACK ADAM.

BLACK ADAM is blessed by magic with the powers equal to SUPERMAN, but the difference is he doesn’t toe the mark or walk the line.

He’s a rebellious, one of a kind superhero, who’ll always do what’s right for the people – but he does it his way.

Truth and justice – the BLACK ADAM way.

This role is unlike any other I’ve ever played in my career and I’m grateful to the bone we’ll all go on this journey together.

BLACK ADAM

Black Adam has been a pet project for Johnson, having worked for about a decade to have the film made. The character was created by Otto Binder and C.C. Beck.

Jaume Collet-Serra, who directed Johnson’s upcoming Jungle Cruise, will direct the film.
