Dwayne The Rock Johnson showcases his training and physique as he preps for Black Adam film.
It’s been quite some time since it was announced that Dwayne The Rock Johnson would be portraying Black Adam in an upcoming feature DC film about the Shazam villain. Since then we have rarely gotten any updates about the film. But today The Rock posted an update on his Instagram showcasing some high quality photos of him training with a massive and shredded physique. The posts simply start with the comment “new era” followed by #dcuniverse and #blackadam. He then caps it off stating “Shooting starts this summer.”

From what we know about the film – the movie’s planned depiction of Black Adam will focus on how he was once Egypt’s greatest champion is less a villain and more of an antihero. This seems to be re-confirmed in one of The Rock’s other Instagram posts that also uses the hashtag #antiherotraining.
Further – previously The Rock described his version of Black Adam to be neither supervillain nor an antihero per say but instead a “rebellious, one of a kind superhero” with “powers equal to SUPERMAN.” At this point there’s no way of knowing exactly how this will all come together until we see some sort of teaser or trailer – but that’s still a bit further off.

For now what we do know is that The Rock is taking his training seriously and seems to be hell bent on making sure he presents his biggest and most conditioned package by the time he starts shooting in the summer. That’s about 5-6 months of him to really focus on perfecting his physique. And judging by his past film releases last year and these new Instagram photos – he’s already in incredible shape as it is. We can’t wait to see what kind of package we ultimately see on the screen when Black Adam finally hits theaters.
