The hierarchy of power is going have to wait a little longer before it changes in the DCEU. Warner Bros has punted Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam (which is a spin-off of Shazam) from its July release date all the way to October 21st. This puts it only a few weeks away from the release of the much delayed Ezra Miller Flash film which we can fully expect will now move from November 2022 to sometime in 2023. Of course that’s just a guess at this point.
Johnson announced on his Instagram page that his debut superhero film “Black Adam” and the family-friendly animated movie “DC League of Super-Pets” are both being delayed. DC League of Super Pets is now moving to July 29th which was the release date for Black Adam.
Calling in from Hawai’i, Johnson described the release date delays as “movin’ and groovin’” and “planting two flags” in the 2022 calendar.
In “Black Adam,” Johnson plays the classic DC villain, whose power levels match Superman’s and who’s usually portrayed as the main antagonist to Shazam. The movie will introduce the anti-hero along with the Justice Society of America, which will face off against the powerful foe. The superhero team is made up of Doctor Fate (Pierce Brosnan), Hawkman (Aldis Hodge), Atom Smasher (Noah Centineo) and Cyclone (Quintessa Swindell). The cast also includes Marwan Kenzari, James Cusati-Moyer, Bodhi Sabongui, Mo Amer and Uli Latukefu.
No real reason was given for the change of dates however this might have something to do with the WarnerMedia/Discovery merger. More to come as this story develops…
