But for now the filmmaker, producers, and Johnson himself have some work to do, introducing him to the unfamiliar. The stand-alone movie will undoubtedly make Black Adam go mainstream. As he recounts this tale, an illuminated figure who looks a lot like Johnson as Black Adam is shown presiding over the misery.
The 2019 Shazam! movie did include one allusion to Black Adam: The wizard who bestows the powers of the superhero reveals that he once gave the abilities “recklessly” to the wrong person, who used them to unleash vengeance on the world. He will not hesitate-and I like to have a little fun when I’m explaining this-to rip somebody in half.” Does that mean the actor is…kidding? “Literally, he’ll grab someone by the neck and by the thigh and then rip them up, tear them apart,” Johnson clarifies. “Black Adam has a unique code of ethics too. There’s a code that he lives by and he honors,” Johnson says. But unlike Superman, he doesn’t have any soft spots like mercy, empathy, or compassion. Instead of shooting heat rays from his eyes, he channels lightning blasts from his fists. He can rip through stone walls and bend steel. Number one, Superman’s greatest weakness is magic, and one of Black Adam’s greatest superpowers is magic.”īlack Adam can fly, bullets bounce off his skin, and explosions would merely muss his hair (if he had any). “When you pull Black Adam out of the pantheon of superheroes in the DC Universe, he is blessed with these incredible superpowers from the gods that rival Superman,” the actor says. Black Adam is the nemesis of Shazam in comics lore, but Johnson seems to enjoy picking fights with those who loom even larger. You can tell Dwayne Johnson has absorbed some personality traits from his Black Adam character by the way he’s already starting to trash-talk Superman.
