Black Adam is a DC project that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has waited years to make. The movie, which was helmed by Jungle Cruise and Orphan‘s Jaume Collet-Serra, is finally coming out later this month, and tonight it’s having its big world premiere in New York City. It’s no surprise that Johnson is excited that the time has finally come to share the movie with the world, so he’s sharing updates from his press day leading up to the film’s premiere.

Will Black Adam Feature Superman or Shazam?
Johnson has been very vocal about wanting a showdown with Superman in the past, and he wants to make a Black Adam vs. Superman movie in the future, but don’t expect the iconic hero to be showing up in Black Adam.
“Our movie is an original story,” Collet-Serra recently explained (via Deadline) when asked if Superman or Shazam would be appearing in Black Adam. “By the time the movie ends, he doesn’t know who Shazam or Superman is.” The director added, “He has to adapt to why he is here, what the world is about.”
Black Adam is scheduled to hit theatres on October 21st.
