Dwayne Johnson Explains the Importance of Family Ahead of Black Adam Release

Hollywood megastar Dwayne Johnson is set to smash box-office records with his back-to-back superhero movies. He’ll first appear in DC’s League of Super-Pets; following that, DC’s Black Adam, one of the most eagerly awaited films of the year. However, the fans have been patiently awaiting Johnson’s film after it was delayed due to COVID-19.

Johnson recently provided some excellent insight into Black Adam, during a talk about the movie. He added that he has never felt more connected to a character than Black Adam.

According to Den Of Geek, The Great One frequently noted during the trailer release that the notion of the family served as an inspiration. In case you missed it, the movie’s first official trailer showed Adam’s son sacrificing his life to save his father.

In light of that, he stated, “Having someone who was so dead set in his ways, who has a code, but the other side of that code is death if you f**k with his family. [H/T: Den of Geek]”

It is well known that The Rock places high importance on his family and feels a strong connection to his Samoan heritage. The same applies to how the family is what helped him connect with his character. Adding to this argument, Black Adam’s director, Jaume Collet-Serra, also said, “That’s a big element of this movie, how important family is.”

The family seems to be the center of most of the film. Watching what he has to offer with his Black Adam character will undoubtedly be intriguing.

Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam character

In DC comics, the fictitious African city of Kahndaq, which is close to the nation of Egypt, has Black Adam as its defender. Teth-Adam, often known as Black Adam, is born in 1279 BC. Ramesses II, an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, had a son named Teth-Adam.

With his good actions, he wins over one of the high priests, the wizard Shazam. The wizard then bestows Mighty Adam, a superhero, with the ability to transform into Teth-Adam.

However, Tenth Adam subsequently grows as a corrupt character and kills the Pharoah in order to take over all of Egypt. After seeing it, the wizard Shazam strips Adam of his powers and entombs him in his father’s grave. Dwayne Johnson will step into the role of Adam as he comes to life 5000 years later and desires to reclaim his powers.
