The Black Adam film has been a long time coming. A passion project for star, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, this movie has been on the table for over a decade now. But, finally, it is getting made, and thanks to DC Fandome, we’ve got a concept art teaser trailer to tease us of of what’s to come. While it may not be actual footage, considering production that was meant to start this past July has been halted thanks to the pandemic, it is still something to wet our whistles.

The concept art video comes from a collaboration between DC Publisher Jim Lee, Johnson, and artist Boss Logic. It gives a brief history on the character, a slave from ancient times that is offer the powers of SHAZAM, but uses them ruthlessly. So much so that he is imprisoned for 5,000 years. However, he is now free, and certain that he will continue his own form of justice, and guarantees he’ll never be held in captivity again. The art in this trailer is pure Boss Logic, with a true feel for Johnson in the role. This film will span a vast time-frame, showcasing his time becoming the chosen champion to modern day.
This film is quite rapidly becoming arguably the most anticipated film from DC in recent history. Its been a very long time in the works, but no one has ever wavered from the fact that The Rock is the only person who can properly portray this character to his fullest. With the addition of the JSA and a possible cameo from Superman, we all can’t wait to see what’s to come from the most electrifying man in all of entertainment. One thing is for sure, Black Adam plans on being the most electrifying person in the DC films, whether they like it or not.
