The world needed a hero… It got Black Adam
From New Line Cinema, Dwayne Johnson stars in the action-adventure “Black Adam.”
The first-ever feature film to explore the story of the DC Super Hero comes to the big screen under
the direction of Jaume Collet-Serra (“Jungle Cruise”).
Nearly 5,000 years after he was bestowed with the almighty powers of the ancient gods—
and imprisoned just as quickly—Black Adam (Johnson) is freed from his earthly tomb, ready to
unleash his unique form of justice on the modern world.
Johnson stars alongside Aldis Hodge (“City on a Hill,” “One Night in Miami”) as Hawkman,
Noah Centineo (“To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before”) as Atom Smasher, Sarah Shahi (“Sex/Life,”
“Rush Hour 3”) as Adrianna, Marwan Kenzari (“Murder on the Orient Express,” “The Mummy”) as
Ishmael, Quintessa Swindell (“Voyagers,” “Trinkets”) as Cyclone, Bodhi Sabongui (“A Million Little
Things”) as Amon, and Pierce Brosnan (the “Mamma Mia!” and James Bond franchises) as Dr.
Fate.
Collet-Serra directed from a screenplay by Adam Sztykiel and Rory Haines & Sohrab
Noshirvani, screen story by Adam Sztykiel and Rory Haines & Sohrab Noshirvani, based on
characters from DC. Black Adam was created by Bill Parker and C.C. Beck. The film’s producers
were Beau Flynn, Dwayne Johnson, Hiram Garcia and Dany Garcia, with Richard Brener, Walter
Hamada, Dave Neustadter, Chris Pan, Eric McLeod, Geoff Johns and Scott Sheldon
“Black Adam” smashes into theaters and IMAX internationally beginning 19 October 2022
