Coming to theaters in 2022, Black Adam follows the fate of Tet Adam, a slave who received superpowers from the gods during the ancient Kahndak. Unfortunately, they were misused as he used them for revenge and ended up in prison.
Five millennia later, when he is finally free, he unleashes his very dark concept of justice on the world. Refusing to give up, Tet Adam must face the modern heroes who make up the Justice Society, Hawkman, Doctor Fate, Atom Destroyer and Cyclone, all with one goal: to return him to the prison “forever”.
in casting black adamTherefore we find Dwayne JohnsonAlso Aldis Hodge (The Walking Dead), Pierce Brosnan (Tomorrow Never Dies), Noah Centineo (To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before), Marwan Kenzar (Aladdin) and Sarah Shah (Person of Interest).
Extreme physical training
along with black adam, Dwayne Johnson Fulfills a childhood dream: to star in a superhero movie and is especially dedicated to this character: “I’m drawn to Black Adam because he’s one of the few superheroes, or super villains and anti-heroes, who had dark skin, and I was like that. Plus, he was really evil.”
And whoever says superhero, says superhuman strength. So, to slip into the skin of the character, the actor with impressive muscles chose to train intensively for more than a year. His sports sessions were also spread on social networks.
And the results surprised the film crew, especially costume designers Kurt and Bart: “This is the first time we’ve met someone with a true superhero body. No one has a physique like his. No one but Dwayne Johnson“.
So is Black Adam really more powerful than the unstoppable Superman (who also appears in the film)? You judge it!
