The final cut of Black Adam is complete, and the cast have seen a screening of the film. That’s according to director Jaume Collet Serra, who told an audience in Hall H at Comic Con that they saw it last night. Black Adam and Shazam!: Fury of the Gods served as the centerpieces of Warner Bros.’ theatrical panel at Comic Con, with only cursory acknowledgment of other DC projects, but a full-on light show bringing Dwayne Johnson to the stage as Black Adam, in full costume, before he took to the stage for the Q&A portion of the event.
Johnson has gone all in on Black Adam, a role he has been working to develop for years. ZOA Energy, an energy drink company he co-founded, even has a pop-up on site. Jungle Cruise director Jaume Collet-Serra will also be charged with introducing movie fans to the Justice Society of America in the new film, which hits theaters this fall.
