Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has gone on Instagram to share new behind-the-scenes images from his final week of reshoots on DC’s Black Adam. In a film that is being touted as a major shift in the DC universe, Johnson stars as the mythical anti-hero Teth-Adam (a.k.a. Black Adam) who was imprisoned for 5,000 years. Black Adam is destined to become the arch-nemesis of the superhero Shazam, Black Adam is the original wizard’s champion and shares the same powers enjoyed by Shazam. Originally, Black Adam was planned to be the primary antagonist of 2019’s Shazam!, but the decision was made to split the project in two and allow Johnson an opportunity to headline his own solo film before the two characters met.

The film was originally meant for release last year, however, due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the film was delayed for several months in order to help the visual effects team catch up. Now it would appear that the film is almost done with Johnson taking to Instagram to share set photos from the reshoots. Johnson captioned the photos saying it was the “Final work week of finishing touches for BLACK ADAM⚡️with my director, Jaume Collet-Serra.”  He also plugged the upcoming international trailer release due on June 8.
