The feature film Black Adam starring The Rock & # 39; Dwayne Johnson finally has a release date: December 21, 2021. Johnson talks about his role in this temporary adaptation of DC Comics for more than five years. This seems to finally represent real progress. He made the announcement on his Instagram account.
Johnson explains why he was too "rebellious" to play a character like Superman and why, in his opinion, Black Adam is better. "Now, years later, as a man, with the same DNA I had, my superhero dreams came true. I am honored to join the iconic #DCUniverse and c & # 39; It is a real pleasure to become BLACK ADAM."
"BLACK ADAM is blessed by magic with powers equal to SUPERMAN, but the difference is that he doesn't hold the line or the line." He is a rebellious superhero, one of a kind. who will always do the right thing for people, but does it his way.
Truth and justice - the BLACK ADAM way. "
"This role is unlike any other I have played in my career and I am thankful for the operating system, we will all go on this journey together." It's true that Black Adam isn't a typical DC hero - most people would call him a villain, even though he's a nuance, and he's the opposite of Captain Marvel's version in DC (the Shazam movie! last year I was talking about this character).
In the comics, Black Adam is the ruler of the fictional Kahndaq nation. Over the past two decades, the character has undergone something of a reinvention, with leading comic book authors Geoff Johns turning him into a complicated villain and ruler with his own moral compass.
DC in 2021
It is as if the interest of The Rock for Black Adam was in the origin of the making of this film. After the success of The Joker, you can understand why Warner Bros wants to make more movies about villains, but there are at least ten more famous than this character. However, you can't argue with the excitement and power of The Rock star.
The director of Black Adam is Jaume Collet-Serra, who directed the horror film The Shallows. This is Washington's third film currently slated for 2021. The other films are The Batman by Matt Reeves (June 25) and The Suicide Squad (August 6) by James Gunn, director of Guardians of the Galaxy.
After a few stormy years that resulted in the terrible imagery of the Justice League, the DC Comics movies do well between Shazam !, Aquaman, and The Joker.
