The superhero film based on the DC comic character Black Adam is one of the most awaited films of 2022. The film is to be released on October 21, 2022, in the United States. It is intended to be the spin-off from the 2019 film ‘Shazam’, which is a movie based on the DC Comic character as well. The movie is also the 11th in the DC Extended Universe(DCEU). While shooting Shazam,  Johnson was quite sure that he would give a separate film for the villain Black Adam. In January 2017, they finally decide and started the work for the movie.

Though the film was decided to be released in December 2021, it got delayed due to COVID-19 Pandemics. The film was shot in different places like Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Georgia. In August 2020, Johnson revealed more about the film at the virtual DC FanDome event. The movie was mainly delayed because of the reshoot of a few scenes in it, which was supposed to happen in February 2022 but got postponed because Guardians of galaxy Vol. 3 shooting was going on in the Trilith studio.

Finally, after long waiting, the movie is going to be released on October 21, 2022. Let’s patiently wait and count the days for the release. The movie is surely worth waiting for.
