In the month of October the foundations of the DC Universe will shake with the incorporation of Black Adam, a character who will debut on the big screen, and about which there is the eternal debate if he is a hero or a villain.

Within the framework of Cinemacon 2022, the protagonist of the film, Dwayne Johnson ‘The Rock’ spoke about the way Black Adam acts, who will have facets of hero and villain in the film.
“This is where we blur the lines a bit with Black Adam. Really, there’s black, there’s white, but then there’s a bit of grey, and this idea that ‘superheroes don’t kill people.’ He said, ‘Well, I do.’ And there’s his own brand of justice”.
Come on… Make my day…
The Rock compared his version of Black Adam to that of the famous character immortalized by Clint Eastwood in the 1970s, Dirty Harry.
“When I met (director) Jaume Collet-Serra probably about four or five years ago, he said, ‘Who is your favorite actor of all time?’ I said, ‘Clint Eastwood.’ He (Collet-Serra) said, ‘I’m glad you said that, because I see Black Adam as the Dirty Harry of the superhero world.’ And (Dirty Harry) was, in many ways, our North Star”.
When Teth Adam spoke the word Shazam, he became a powerful being who engineered a coup to free the slaves of Kahndaq.
But the Blaze demon corrupted the slave who freed his people. Given this, he locked Black Adam in a jewel, from which thousands of years later he will free himself.
The Black Adam cast includes Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson as Black Adam, Pierce Brosnan as Kent Nelson/Doctor Fate, Noah Centineo as Atom Smasher, Aldis Hodge as Hawkman, Sarah Shahi as Isis, and Quintessa Swindell as Maxine. Hunkell / Cyclone.
Jaume Collet-Serra will be the director of Black Adam, a production that will hit theaters on October 21, 2022.
