Black Adam (Movie) cast, casting calls, auditions, news, and more you should know.
Casting directors are now looking for the following talent:
- Actors
- Background Actors
- Stand-ins
- Extras
- Photo Doubles
Dwayne Johnson will play the character Black Adam in the movie adaptation, which is a spinoff and sequel to the 2019 SHAZAM! movie. In June 2019, Jaume Collet-Serra was announced as the director. Johnson then announced via his Twitter account Larry She will be the film’s cinematographer.
The movie was originally going to hit theaters on December 22, 201, with filming scheduled for July 2019. But, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, filming was delayed to April 2021 and it’s released pushed back to an unknown date. The movie will also release several other characters including Noah Centineo as Atom Smasher, Aldis Hodge as Hawkman, Quintessa Swindell as Cyclone, and Doctor Fate.
It’s important to note the character was planned to be introduced in Shazam!, but by January 2017, the film productions decided to split the narrative to focus on Black Adam’s origin story. Johnson, who is also working as a producer on the movie, stated the two characters will meet in a future film. Adam Sztykiel was hired to write the script and co-produce Hiram Garcia says the movie will be gritty and violent, similar to the comic books.
About Black Adam:
Black Adam is a supervillain appearing in the American comic books published by DC Comics. Created by Otto Binder and C.C. Beck, the character is one of the archenemies of superhero Captain Marvel and the nemesis of the Marvel Family. Black Adam first appeared in the first issue of Fawcett Comics’ The Marvel Family comic book in 1945. However, he revived in the 1970s as a recurring character in the Shazam/Formerly Captain Marvel Family stories.
Black Adam was originally described as a corrupted ancient Egyptian predecessor of Captain Marvel, who fights his way to modern times to challenge the Marvel Family associates. But, in the 2000s, Black Adam was re-defined by DC Comics Jerry Ordway, Geoff Johns, and David S. Goyer, as a corrupted antihero attempting to clear his name and reputation. Featured roles in such comic book series including Justice Society of America, Villains United, Infinite Crisis, and 52. In 2009, IGN ranked Black Adam as IGN’s 16th greatest comic book villain of all time.
After ‘Black Adam,’ Dwayne Johnson Considers Becoming An Adviser For DC And Expresses Hope For A Marvel Crossover.
According to Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav, the studio wants DC’s answer to Marvel Studios chief Kevin Feige. Could Dwayne Johnson, star of “Black Adam,” be the person in charge of DC Films?

When Variety asked Johnson if he might be able to don the mask on the red carpet at the highly anticipated Times Square premiere of “Black Adam,” the star took a long swig of water before confidently saying that he was more than prepared for the challenge.
“The best position that I could be for DC is one as an advisor, where I can help. I love DC. It’s in my blood,” Johnson told Variety’s Jordan Moreau. “In the spirit of growing up with the DC Universe. I’m here to help in any way I can, including looking for and finding that right leader or leaders.”
Johnson’s answer also reflected his long history with DC Comics, which he has been a fan of since childhood.
“As a little boy, I grew up loving the Super Friends, specifically Superman,” Johnson shared. “I saw my first Black Adam comic, and it was arresting to me. His face was intense. He looked cool, looked different, badass, and had brown skin. So automatically, I was relating to him. I am DC through and through.”
As “Black Adam” features Johnson’s antihero alongside other characters, such as Pierce Brosnan’s Doctor Fate and Aldis Hodge’s Hawkman, the star has bigger plans for which superheroes could appear next to his character. When asked about the possibility of a DC-Marvel crossover event, Johnson replied that it would only be a matter of meeting fan demand.
“Well, I’m always optimistic. I’d like to think that we would see that. My philosophy is anything can get done. Let’s start with the end goal. And if the end goal is to have some sort of crossover that can be compelling, smart, cool for the fans,” Johnson said. “Let’s get a temperature gauge if they’d like to see something like that. And then, if they do, then let’s create it. I operate my businesses like that. I truly believe that anything can happen. Anything can happen with the right people and place, and the right leadership, having the right conversations.”
“Black Adam” his theaters on Oct. 21.
