Black Adam (Dwayne Johnson)

Created by Otto Binder and C.C. Beck, Black Adam is one of the most famous super-villains in the DC universe, and one that primarily serves as the antagonist and archenemy to Shazam, once known as Captain Marvel. The film will explore the character's origins by beginning centuries in the past with the protagonist serving as a slave in an ancient country called Kahndaq. Believing that he has the capacity to be a great warrior for good, the wizard Shazam bestows upon Adam tremendous power... but Adam winds up using that power with great brutality. After years of terror, he is defeated and trapped, but thousands of years later he returns to wreak havoc on the modern world – forcing a team of heroes to try and take him down.
