DC has given the world its first look at Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson as the comic book anti-hero Back Adam.
In a new teaser trailer, The DC FanDome panel presented concept art of what fans can expect from the Shazam spin-off, including Black Adam's costume - and it is better than anything he ever wore in the wrestling ring.
Check out the trailer below:Prior to the trailer being released, Johnson took to Instagram to share the following message with his fans and praise the movie studios for being able to create such an epic trailer while managing the limitations of the pandemic:
"The hierarchy of power in the DC UNIVERSE is about to change. BLACK ADAM arrives TOMORROW at #DCFanDome.
"Personally, I salute my Warner Bros & 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 DC Extended Universe movie will be directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, with producer Hiram Garcia telling Collider that the movie will be gritty and violent - akin to the comics - with Garcia adding:
"[Black Adam is] the guy that's like, okay, you cross him? Well, I rip your head off, and then I move on to the next guy."
And upon the release of the trailer, Johnson posted to Instagram once again, telling his 194 million followers: "This is the one that changes everything.
"There’s no more chains around this neck and I’m no longer a slave. And now you have my word. No one will ever stop me again and the hierarchy of power in the DC UNIVERSE is about change.
Vowing to always protect and be the champion of my people.
"THANK YOU #DCFanDome for that absolutely electrifying love and hype for our BLACK ADAM panel.
Our entire team as well as myself are deeply committed and passionate to the bone to deliver a story you’ll love and build out our DC Universe."
Black Adam is scheduled to be released on December 22, 2021.
