We've been talking about a Black Adam movie starring Dwayne Johnson here on CBM since at least 2015, but the movie is finally set to commence production, and will heading our way on July 29th, 2022.

It's hard to believe in some ways, but The Rock himself just shared an insane workout photo alongside confirmation that cameras start rolling this week. Whether that means we can look forward to set photos remains to be seen (we saw quite a few when Shazam! was filming), but a first look could be imminent.

Black Adam ready," Johnson says in the Instagram post below while showing off his incredible physique. "It’s always the work we quietly put in when no one is watching that changes the game. Grateful for the grind. (and the face of my Warrior Spirit always watching my back." He then mentioned the movie with a hashtag and confirmed, "Production kicks off this week."

This is a positive, long overdue update, and had COVID-19 not derailed production, chances are we'd have been heading to theaters to watch the DC Comics adaptation later this year.

The rest of the Black Adam cast includes Aldis Hodge, Noah Centineo, Quintessa Swindell, Pierce Brosnan, Marwan Kenzaria, and Sarah Shahi.

Check out Johnson's Instagram post below:

Only major downside of this movie is the director.

Nice to see a cool project getting out of Warner Bros limbo.

bkmeijer2 - 4/7/2021, 8:24 AM

Guess his Black Adam suit doesn't need padding like the Shazam suit

bkmeijer2 - 4/7/2021, 8:41 AM

@Waddles - might just end with an actual body fitted suit for once

IronGenesis - 4/7/2021, 8:27 AM

My goodness!
More than a man...but less than a god.

Who could possibly stand up against him?!

He stole her thighs.....

ModHaterSLADE - 4/7/2021, 8:36 AM

I'm hoping we'll eventually see him face off with Supes and Shazam like the Return of Black Adam animated film.

Gmoney84 - 4/7/2021, 8:37 AM

No padded suit needed for this dude.

Makes me want to see Shazam, BA and Sups on the big screen together. Cavill, DJ and ZL...would be awesome.

bkmeijer2 - 4/7/2021, 8:54 AM

@Gmoney84 - same. If Cavill doesn't return for a solo movie, I atleast want to see him in Shazam 3. Superman and Shazam vs Black Adam, that's something I'd watch

GeneralZod - 4/7/2021, 8:42 AM

Glad to see the juice is so effective at age 48.

Dabs - 4/7/2021, 8:59 AM

@GeneralZod - Combined with hard work and willpower, it's a great combo. Nothing easy about it.

GeneralZod - 4/7/2021, 9:04 AM

@Dabs - I more fair characterization of the combo is that one is natural, not easy, and requires said hard work and will-power, while the other is unnatural and quite easy.
