Producer Hiram Garcia has confirmed the upcoming Black Adam movie, starring Dwayne Johnson, won't start filming until 2021. Speaking to Collider, Garcia said “COVID threw a curveball in a big way and readjusted everyone’s schedule, but I think the easiest way to look at it is it simply pushed the entire industry’s schedule a few months… We’re planning to pick back up with Black Adam some time first quarter next year and hoping to lock that all down soon.”
Though it's been known for a while that Dwayne Johnson would be taking the role of Black Adam, fans finally got glimpse of what they can expect from the upcoming movie when DC released an official teaser during their online Fandome event. Currently Johnson's take on the DC antihero only exists as concept art with Johnson narrating Black Adam's history, but it was enough to get fans hyped.
Garcia was thrilled with the hugely positive response to the teaser. Promising the fans that this film will deliver, Garcia added "our director Jaume Collett-Serra has always had a great vision for what we all want to achieve and I think audiences are going to go crazy when they see the story and sequences we’ve been creating that showcase this world and more importantly what Black Adam is truly capable of."
However plot details are thin on the ground as discussions are still ongoing over how Black Adam will fit into the wider DC universe. What's known at this point is that Black Adam will introduce the Justice Society of America to the DCEU with Atom Smasher, Cyclone, Dr. Fate and Hawkman making up the roster.
Black Adam was previously expected to be released in December 2021, though that seems unlikely.
