Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam Costume Hyped By Movie Producer

Black Adam producer Dany Garcia hypes up Dwayne Johnson’s DC costume, further fueling excitement for an upcoming reveal. Filming on Black Adam is finally underway after suffering a few setbacks last year because of the coronavirus pandemic. Johnson was officially cast as the slave-turned-superpowered-antihero back in 2014, and both he and his fans have been eagerly awaiting his DCEU debut ever since. Black Adam will be directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and also stars the likes of Aldis Hodge, Noah Centineo, Sarah Shahi, Quintessa Swindell, and Pierce Brosnan.

Black Adam kicked off filming last month, and since then, Johnson has provided a few behind the scenes teases. The actor has shared peeks at the script and the set, but perhaps most excitingly, he’s begun teasing his costume. Last week, he shared a shot of himself in his Black Adam costume… except most of it was obscured by the black cloak he has to wear to prevent spoilers. Johnson later posted another photo, but this time he was shrouded in shadow and another, more dramatic cloak.

All of these teases have only stirred up more excitement about the eventual costume reveal, though it at least sounds like the wait will be worth it. Dany Garcia, one of the producers on Black Adam, had some positive words to say about Johnson’s costume while speaking to Variety. While she couldn’t reveal when others will see the costume, Garcia simply teased, “I’ve seen him in the full costume and let me tell you — it’s a thing!“

Seeing as Johnson has been attached to this role for years with no costume reveal, anticipation is quite high. Black Adam isn’t scheduled to premiere until July 2022, so one might assume there will be a long wait before some official peeks at the movie emerge. However, Johnson’s increased focus on the costume over the past few days could indicate a Black Adam suit reveal is getting closer. A year and a month is a long time to wait for a movie, and a full shot of Johnson in costume would be the perfect thing to help tide fans over. It would also ignite even more interest in the project.

One thing is already clear about Johnson’s Black Adam costume: It won’t require much padding. Before filming kicked off, Johnson shared numerous behind the scenes looks at his training process, and it’s clear he’s in perfect superhero shape. Considering the sheer amount of power Black Adam wields, this is to be expected. Fingers crossed Johnson pulls back the curtain (or cloak) on Black Adam soon and reveals his highly-anticipated costume.
