Black Adam is a superhero film produced by New Line Cinema and DC Films. The movie is directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and written by Adam Sztykiel. Jaume Collet-Serra is a Spanish-American filmmaker who previously directed 2009's Orphan and, more recently, 2021's Jungle Cruise.

Black Adam stars Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson in the titular role of Black Adam, a man from the ancient Kahndaq who is bestowed with godly powers. Dwayne Johnson, who began his career as a professional wrestler in the WWE, had been in talks with DC Comics to portray the character since the mid-2000s. The decision behind his casting was finally announced in 2014. This marks the second time Dwayne Johnson works with director Jaume Collet-Serra as the two previously collaborated in Jungle Cruise. In Black Adam, Johnson is joined by Noah Centineo as Atom Smasher, Aldis Hodge as Hawkman, Sarah Shahi as Adrianna Tomaz and Quintessa Swindell as Cyclone.

Pierce Brosnan plays Kent Nelson a.k.a. Doctor Fate. The doctor is the son of an archeologist and sorcerer who owns the Helmet of Fate. Viola Davis returns to the DCEU as Amanda Waller. Black Adam was released in cinemas on October 21, 2022.
