In his first live-action adaption, Johnson will now bring the DC player to life this fall. Black Adam is recasting Johnson's character as an anti-hero, who will have his origin story detailed in the eagerly awaited movie, as opposed to the classic villain he was in the comics. Black Adam will be a pivotal chapter for the DCEU moving forward, featuring the almost inevitable confrontation with Zachary Levi's Shazam, and will provide Johnson one of his biggest paychecks ever.
With Johnson's Black Adam finally getting close to release, the actor made a big impression at San Diego Comic-Con by showing up in the superhero outfit of the role. director Jaume Collet-Serra spoke with Collider after the Wanrer Bros. Hall H event and elaborated on how Black Adam is the "primary source of tension" in the narrative. Johnson typically plays the lead character in his movies, but Collet- Serra notes that the upcoming DC picture will push the actor in a different way.
