If we’re being honest, I like this whole conventions from home thing. I don’t have to get out of my pajamas, I get to go to the bathroom and not have to wait in lines, and the snacks are so much cheaper.
I am not shy to admit it, I am a huge fan of Dwayne Johnson. Yes, I am mesmerized by his muscles, but I am also mesmerized by him on the screen. He’s a good actor, he has a love for the world and community, and he puts his family first.
And hey, did I mention he’s about to be a superhero?
With DC Fandome happening this weekend we got our first look at him as Black Adam. The movie is a spin off of 2019’s Shazam.
Justice Society of America characters Hawkman, Dr. Fate and Cyclone will be appearing in the film, alongside previously announced Atom Smasher (Noah Centineo). The characters appearing in the film were announced at DC Fandome.
Animate art of the characters was released.
Muito Obrigado Brasil!!

“5,000 years ago, Kahndaq was a melting pot of magic and powers. Most of us had nothing except the chains around our necks. Kahndaq needed a hero; instead they got me. I did what needed to be done…and they imprisoned me for it. Now, 5000 years later, I’m free. And I give you my word…no one will ever stop me again.” Dwayne Johnson said in a voiceover introducing the Black Adam segment at Fandome.
I have to admit – I can’t wait to see him as a superhero, but at the same point Noah Centineo in a superhero movie, or as HeMan is not something I am sure that I can get behind.
Johnson also debuted on his Instagram the first look of his character on his Instagram.
“The hierarchy of power in the DC UNIVERSE is about to change,” he wrote on Instagram. “Black Adam arrives tomorrow at #DCFanDome. Personally, I salute my Warner Bros and DC partners for creating this historic opportunity for fans to absorb our entire DC universe while we all continue to manage the challenges of COVID. Well done. The man in black is coming to crush them all.”
The Black Adam movie is currently scheduled to hit theaters on December 22, 2021.
