DC Releases First Look At Atlanta-Filmed Black Adam

Movie lovers got a treat on the third weekend in October. That’s when DC released the first look at Black Adam, the new superhero movie that was produced in Georgia.

The movie filmed in Atlanta in mid-2021, when producers were hiring people en masse for the project. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson stars in the lead role.

Created by Otto Binder and C. C. Beck, Black Adam is the arch enemy of Captain Marvel and has some major plot points in the DC Comics superhero pantheon. In the title role, The Rock will play an ancient Egyptian named Teth-Adam, aka Black Adam.

The movie was originally greenlit as Shazam in 2017 but casting delays put in on the shelf. Once The Rock signed on, filming was postponed again due to the pandemic.

Last Word

The Rock is amped about the role. He posted this on Instagram:

“The hierarchy of power in the DC UNIVERSE is about to change. Shout to my long time strength and conditioning coach @daverienzi for the ever evolving, strategic road map to success for this film and character. Month by month, week by week, day by day. 277 lbs of mean and nasty.”
