BLACK ADAM Star Dwayne Johnson Is Unsure The DC Comics Movie Will Start Shooting In July As Planned

Last night, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson held a live Q&A on Instagram, and admitted to fans that current world events mean he's unsure whether Black Adam will start shooting in July as originally planned...

Black Adam has already faced countless delays, but over the past year or so, the DC Comics adaptation has finally started taking shape (heck, we've even had a teaser poster). Unfortunately, it appears as if the movie could end up being a victim of the long list of COVID-19 related postponements which have been hitting Hollywood as of late. 

During an Instagram Live video last night, the Hobbs & Shaw star commented on his hopes for Black Adam, and noted that it's possible it won't start shooting by July as planned. 

"I’m very excited about Black Adam by the way, I’ve been training very, very hard for that role," he told fans. "We were supposed to start shooting it in the summer, in July, and we’ll see. I’m not quite too sure if it’s still gonna happen - or, at least, if we’ll still start shooting in July but it will all work out the way it’s meant to work out."

It would be a great shame for Black Adam to be faced with yet another delay, but it almost feels inevitable given recent world events, and the health of safety of the cast and crew is ultimately what's most important. The hope is that the Coronavirus won't be as significant a threat by the summer, but no one can predict what's to come right now.

Theaters remain closed for the time being, but there's currently no reason to suspect Black Adam won't meet its planned December 2021 release date (even if it doesn't start shooting in July).

We'll keep you guys updated!

If the script leak is true then this will be awesome. Just hope Levi-Shazam and Cavill-Superman are in it too...would really be something special.

Black Adam and Dr.Strange:Multiverse of Madness

Can’t make up my mind which one I’m more hyped for

Black Adam has Dr. Fate
Dr Strage 2 has Brother Voodoo

Things aren’t really gonna go back to normal until we have a vaccine, that’s 12-18 months out. Screenshot the post, it’s not the first time I’ve said it. Let’s wait and see who’s right

You talk about shooting, can you confirm any other actors in this movie besides yourself...

People who say Black Adam should just be a Shazam villain or that the film should be canceled don't know enough about the character. He can definitely carry his own movie with the right source material.

This should’ve been before Shazam. The movie should’ve followed the rise of Adam the hero and his fall from grace in ancient Egypt. The end of the movie should’ve been the Batsons opening the coffin in modern days. The Shazam movie should’ve been the big cheese being made to stop Adam. Sivanna would’ve been behind the search for Adam and be the villain in the final movie. Hell adam could’ve (not my cup of tee) helped cheese against Sivanna in the third

Oddly, I think Shazam could’ve spawned a new DCEU. From ancient times, it connects to Fate, Hawkworld or reincarnated Hawks, blue beetle, and Vandal Savage. Amazons and Atlanteans and magi and countless others can all be rooted by way of ancient Egypt
