As the film’s theatrical debut draws near, the production crew is touring to promote it. The cast was featured in the most recent issue of Total Film as well. While discussing the film, The Rock claimed Black Adam will be a change from how audiences have seen him in the past.
However, the Black Adam actor, admitted that the movie increases the pressure on him. In his words, “I realize, going in, you’ve got one shot, and the pressure’s on. You’ve got to dive headfirst into the fire. Because, also, the superhero genre has been busted wide open in the greatest of ways in our business, and has been responsible for some of the greatest movies ever made.”

He stated, “There’s a lot of elements about Black Adam that are dependent on your perspective. Is he a supervillain? Is he an antihero? To some, he is just a straight-up superhero.”
“There are just natural elements, I think, in me, that are part of my DNA that we see in the character of Black Adam. It is a departure from anything that I’ve played before in the past. A complete departure.”

He argues that Black Adam is unique and sticks out since he upholds an ethical code. Additionally, if the wrongdoer makes any attempt to harm his people, his family, or his country, he will cut him in half, just like Johnson is attached to his people. And although DC continues to irk fans, Johnson indicates that he is going “all-in” with Black Adam.
