Dwayne Johnson was supposed to make his debut in the DCEU universe with Shazam, but soon everyone figured that his potential deserved a standalone movie. Voila, we had Black Adam in pre-production. The actor's arrival was hinted in the Zachary Levy starrer Shazam, which was a box office hit. Today, we are just hours away from getting a concrete update on Black Adam at DC Fandome event. Right before that, Dwayne dropped a concept art of the upcoming film on his social media platforms. And we are super excited. Dwayne Johnson Trains Hard For His Superhero Debut With DCEU's Black Adam (View Pics).

"The man in black is coming to crush them all," The Rock concluded.

"The idea was that the Shazam story merits its own origin story, that the Shazam film should be his origin story," Shazam! producer Peter Safran told the press at the time of the release. "Perhaps one day down the road after the stand-alone Black Adam movie, hopefully one day these guys meet up in the same film. But they really wanted to give us the freedom to just tell Shazam’s story." DC FanDome Trailer: Dwayne Johnson Teases With 'Black Adam' Look, Fans Are Beyond Thrilled! (Watch Video).
