Dwayne Johnson aces 'Black Adam' as fans call it a 'GAME CHANGER' for DCEU
'Black Adam' was one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year. Warner Brother Pictures along with DCEU went through massive losses this year but 'Black Adam' seems like a silver lining after it got raving reviews from critics.
It is produced by New Line Cinema, DC Films, Seven Bucks Productions, and FlynnPictureCo. The film is a spin-off from 'Shazam!' (2019) and the 11th film in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). The project is helmed by Jaume Collet-Serra and written by Adam Sztykiel, Rory Haines, and Sohrab Noshirvani, while the film stars Dwayne Johnson as the titular character alongside Aldis Hodge, Noah Centineo, Sarah Shahi, Marwan Kenzari, Quintessa Swindell, Bodhi Sabongui, and Pierce Brosnan and has a special cameo by Henry Cavil as Superman.
In United States and Canada, 'Black Adam' will be released alongside 'Ticket to Paradise,' and is projected to gross between $70 to 75 million in its opening weekend, and will be Johnson's best opening weekend outside of the 'Fast & Furious' franchise. However, 'Black Adam' had its world premiere in Mexico City on October 3, and is scheduled to be released in the United States on October 21, 2022 by Warner Bros Pictures.
