Antihero Black Adam is one among the foremost powerful beings in DC Comics
Given his hulking frame and larger-than-life persona, it’s almost surprising that Dwayne Johnson has never starred as a comic-book superhero before. But all that’s near to change as he arrives to disrupt the facility hierarchy within the DC Universe as Black Adam.
But while the character won't be a household name (yet), Black Adam – or Teth-Adam – has been a passion project of Johnson’s for quite a decade now, as he explains within the cover story of the new issue of Total Film magazine.
Antihero Black Adam is one among the foremost powerful beings in DC Comics. A slave from Kahndaq granted superpowers from the wizard Shazam, Adam chose a dark path of revenge against people who wronged him, looking to settle the score by any means necessary. Below, you'll see three exclusive images of Johnson on set as Black Adam (including a trial of the star consulting with director Jaume Collet-Serra):
The character is, per Johnson, "a bad motherf*cker". And that’s what attracted him to carry out for 10 years to play him despite numerous opportunities to play superheroes within the intervening years.
"Official offers never happened. it had been always conversations with studio heads," he tells Total Film. "But there was always something unique, different about Black Adam. He was a villain, an antihero, reckoning on your interpretation of what a villain is. I loved this concept that his pain and rage comes from loss, and was fuelled by oppression. And at some point, he refused to be held down from now on. If you wrong him, his family, or his people, then you'll die. Period. that's just that easy."
One things for sure: Black Adam is ready to shake the DCEU to its foundations. On working with Collet-Serra again after Jungle Cruise, Johnson says, "Right from the start, we gelled, because it had been like: 'OK, our goal and our pole star is that the hierarchy of power within the DC Universe is near to change.' Let’s have guts. Let’s get after it. And let’s be destructive."
Black Adam opens in cinemas on July 29, 2022. For way more on the film, take a look at the innovative issue of Total Film magazine when it hits stands (real and digital) from Thursday, December 9.
