Ahead of the film’s release, Johnson spoke to Screen Rant about his respect to the Black Adam mythology to make the character debut right, as well as behind the scenes with director Jaume Collet-Serra in setting up the ‘Dirty Harry of superheroes.’
Johnson admits in the interview he has been a fan of Black Adam, ‘just like a lot of people out there.’ He adds two basic goals the film sought to accomplish:
The actor shares how Black Adam director Jauma Collet-Serra first reached out to him in making the film. Black Adam would be the first big departure of Dwayne Johnson from many of his previous roles. The actor continues to say how the director already had a vision for the film, a ‘hunger’ that Johnson noticed on Jungle Cruise, which the director ends up applying in ‘elevating’ and ‘growing’ the DC universe.
Given the trailer, it would seem that the Black Adam they wish to portray on screen will soon be coming to life, indeed, as the film is set to premiere this October 21. Watch the trailer here:
