The Rock shares first official trailer for Black Adam movie
WWE legend Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson recently shared the first official trailer for his upcoming movie Black Adam, which is scheduled for release in October this year.
Based on the DC comic series of the same name, the character is a super-villain in the Shazam universe. The Rock was announced to play the role back in 2014. While the movie was supposed to release in the second half of 2021, it was delayed because of the pandemic.
The People's Champion shared the official poster for the movie where he is seen wearing all black with a gold cape. The film is produced by New Line Cinema and directed by renowned director Jaume Collett-Serra. This is the first time The Rock has portrayed a character in the superhero universe.
Recently, The Great One took to Twitter to share the world premiere of the movie trailer as he had promised a few days ago.
"As promised, our world premiere @BlackAdamMovie trailer. This passion project has become my DNA and the hierarchy of power in the DC Universe will change. The world needed a hero. It got BLACK ADAM Rage. #ManInBlack #JSA @SevenBucksProd @WBPictures @DCComics"
