Black Adam is now finally being released in theaters after spending years locked in development. Black Adam, which will star Dwayne Johnson and has been in development since the early 2000s, promises to advance the DC Extended Universe. The superhero movie, which is set in the mythical nation of Kahndaq, features many new characters as well as some old favorites.
Black Adam follows the titular character, an antihero in the DC Comics universe, as he battles the evil Sabbac on behalf of the people of Kahndaq (and frequently the Justice Society of America). Many comic book characters are included in the film’s cast, many of them are appearing in live-action for the first time in Black Adam. Johnson is leading here.
