Dwayne Johnson was the next to appear at the DC FanDome event today, the actor out tub thumping the “Black Adam” movie alongside the internet’s boyfriend and future He-Man star Noah Centineo.
Centineo talked up his training regime for his role as Atom Smasher in the film, a character that can grow to the size of the Eiffel Tower. He is one of several Justice Society of America characters to feature in the film with Hawkman, Doctor Fate and Cyclone also confirmed to be getting their live-action incarnations.
Johnson confirms the project has been in development for over ten years, and he’s a big fan of the fact the rules don’t apply to him in the same way they do the other DC heroes:
“What I love is that he’s an anti-hero. He has his own sense of Black Adam justice… This idea that you can take all of Black Adam’s powers and he does not practice restraint.. that makes for a really powerful combination. One that is explosive, dangerous, and really likeable… in my opinion.”
Check out the clip below combining the teaser and an animatic going into his backstory, along with a gallery featuring a bunch of concept art from the film including the other members of the JSA to appear.
