'Black Adam': The Rock Arrives In Atlanta For Filming

FINALLY… THE ROCK HAS ARRIVED TO FILM… Black Adam. (I always wanted to say that in an article)

Recently, Dwayne Johnson was spotted in the Atlanta area for the production of the Warner Bros/DC Films highly anticipated blockbuster Black Adam. The film started filming recently as of mid April 2021, and with the arrival of Johnson, I’m sure the Great One will deliver some great behind the scenes content for his social media accounts for fans to get very excited without actual film footage for a good while. Over the past two years, only concept art for the film has been released to the public.

"‘History in the making, extremely excited and what a humbling moment to share with you. Officially kicking off Day 1 of filming our Black Adam,’ Johnson wrote in the Instagram post on April 10. He went on to praise the movie's ‘all-star production crew,’ including director Jaume Collet-Serra and Academy Award-nominated cinematographer Lawrence Sher (Joker), Johnson wrote the team behind Black Adam is ‘incredibly talented, galvanized, committed and focused to raise the bar and deliver something SPECIAL for the world. This one is an honor.’”

The photo of Johnson arriving in Georgia for production of Black Adam can be seen in the Instagram post below.

Hiram Garcia, a producer on Black Adam, recently shared an update about the production with ComicBook.com in March.

"‘Obviously, you know how passionate we are about this project,’ Garcia said. ‘This is very special to us, and you know, not only Black Adam, but JSA, and all these characters we're introducing to the world and, what we want to do with it, we're just... Look, we were supposed to have been filming last year. COVID, like it delayed everyone, it kinda got in the way, but we're happy we're able to pause, regroup, and now we're going to be getting going, and by April we'll be shooting and on track to bring this thing home.’

‘The guy's a walking superhero right, and if there was ever anyone born to play a character, it's him,’ Garcia said. ‘We've been developing Black Adam who knows how many... I feel like it's been close to like a decade at this point we've been talking about this and on it and you see him in that and you're like, 'That's him, that's why we've been waiting, that's why we've been working so hard to make this happen.' This guy is Black Adam and he is going to change the DC Universe buddy. He's gonna change that thing.’”

In addition to Johnson, Black Adam co-stars include Noah Centineo, Aldis Hodge, Sarah Shahi, Quintessa Swindell, and Pierce Brosnan.

Black Adam is scheduled to be released in the United States on July 29, 2022.
