‘Black Adam’ is a spin-off from Warner Bros and New Line Cinema’s ‘Shazam!’ featuring Zachary Levi in the lead role. The character first appeared in DC Comics in the 1940s as a villain corrupted by power. He became an anti-hero years later in 2000.

Directed by Jungle Cruise director Jaume Collet-Serra, the movie also features Aldis Hodge as Hawkman, Noah Centineo as Atom Smasher, Quintessa Swindell as Cyclone, and Pierce Brosnan as Dr Fate. Rumors abound that Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam will see Cavill back as Superman for the first time in five years.

The movie is written by Adam Sztykiel, Rory Haines, and Sohrab Noshirvani. It will be hitting the Indian theatres a day earlier than its global release. Black Adam will be clashing at the box office with Akshay Kumar’s Ram Setu and Ajay Devgn’s Thank God this Diwali.
