The Fast & Furious megastar Dwayne Johnson has owned varied characters throughout his career span. His last appearance was in the crime thriller Red Notice, starring alongside Gal Godot and Ryan Reynolds, as a sham FBI agent. He has always been an adaptive actor who molds himself depending on the attributes of the role. Dwayne’s exemplary talent is proof that he is treasured by Hollywood fans. All the praise goes to his enthralling looks and peerless action that viewers will soon get to see again in the upcoming superhero film based on DC Comics, Black Adam.

The Rock sculpted a new image of him by playing the super villain ‘Black Adam’

For the first time in his whole career, Dwayne has stepped into the world of comic characters. He is portraying the powerful yet corrupted character of the reborn Egyptian God, Black Adam. Fans would never have imagined The Rock playing a wicked character, looking back to his choices of movies. But, there is always a first to everything new! And fans are already swooning over the trailer that came out on June 8, 2022. 

This is not Dwayne Johnson’s first time playing a gray-shade character. He has played the crooked role of John Hartley in Red Notice, a fake FBI Agent who shakes hands with the world’s greatest art thief Nolan Booth (Ryan Reynolds) to capture the most wanted criminal The Bishop (Gal Godot). But Black Adam is a complete transformation as viewers have definitely never seen him in this avatar before.

Dwayne Johnson was foresighted as Black Adam since before he played other great roles

Johnson’s role as Black Adam was decided even before the audiences knew as he was somehow attached to Shazam from the beginning. The producers were decisive since 2014 that only Dwayne can delineate this compelling story of a wicked anti-hero. 

The Rock recently posted on his Twitter account the first glimpse of Black Adam. He called his character a brutal and uncompromising force who has no limits. 

“He is the reason the hierarchy of power in the DC UNIVERSE is about to change” remarked Dwayne Johnson in his tweet. 

In the video attached to his tweet, Dwyane shares how they have been working on this project for a long time and that he was born to play the character. And now he has culminated this dream when they have completed the production part ready to launch the movie in October 2022.

Black Adam is directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and set for distribution by Warner Bros. Pictures. It will be available to stream on Netflix this fall.
