The Rock's Superhero Gains Take Center Stage in 'Black Adam' Trailer
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Black Adam is probably the upcoming DC film that we know most about, thanks to Dwayne Johnson's trademark lengthy Instagram posts, but we haven't seen all that much in terms of footage from it yet.
That is, until now.
You can watch it above, or check it out again right here:
The caption on his Instagram post for the trailer was far more circumspect than all of his past teases, with Johnson writing this: "As promised, our world premiere @blackadammovie trailer. This passion project has become my DNA and the hierarchy of power in the DC Universe will change. The world needed a hero. It got BLACK ADAM⚡️ Rage."
Sharing an earlier photo of himself in costume alongside the director, the actor wrote: "Extremely productive work week of filming the final touches of Black Adam. "
The director in question is Jaume Collet-Serra, someone worked with on Disney's Jungle Cruise.
"We love taking big swings for our global audience," he captioned his post. "In 2018, we agreed to make Black Adam together to create a new paradigm for the antihero. Jaume said 'Let's make Black Adam the Dirty Harry of all superheroes and some supervillains. A ruthless, unstoppable God who lives by a code to protect his family and his people."
Johnson's anti-hero is basically the evil version of Shazam, and the actor has teased that he might square off against Superman one day, which wouldn't be as one-sided as you think as one of Superman's weaknesses is magic (a staple of Black Adam's power range).
"I don't know who that Superman is going to be, and I don't know who's going to play him," Johnson said. "That's OK. I don't need to know right now. But I'm confident in knowing that. And that's based out of what fans want."
Black Adam is set for release in cinemas on October 21.
