Hollywood star Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has finally revealed the release date of his highly-anticipated DC verse movie ‘Black Adam’. The film, based on the DC comic character of the same name, is set to premiere on July 29 2022.
Johnson unveiled the date before the NCAA tournament game between UCLA and Alabama. “The hierarchy of power in the DC universe is about to change,” Dwayne could be heard saying in a booming voice, in a short advertisement.
The ‘Rampage’ star also posted the release date of the upcoming movie on his Instagram, along with a video of his voice blasting throughout Times Square. In the caption he wrote, “A disruptive and unstoppable global force of a message from the man in black himself BLACK ADAM is coming July 29, 2022.”

The news comes after it was recently announced that Pierce Brosnan would be portraying the role of the classic DC sorcerer Dr Fate. The cast will also feature Aldis Hodge as Hawkman, Noah Centineo as Atom Smasher, and Quintessa Swindell as Cyclone.
‘Black Adam’ follows the story of the anti-hero of the same name, played by Johnson. The character of Black Adam first appeared in DC Comics in the 1940s as a power-corrupt villain, but had become an anti-hero by the 2000s, known for his disregard of rules and conventions.
The movie will also be a spinoff of 2019’s ‘Shazam!’ Shazam and Black Adam are arch-rivals in the DC Universe. This forthcoming film is directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, who also worked with Johnson in Disney’s ‘Jungle Cruise’.
