Dwayne Johnson has confirmed that the DC Comics adaptation “Black Adam” has wrapped filming, the end of the shoot coming a full year ahead of the film’s debut in cinemas on July 29th 2022.
In a tweeted video of his speech on the set, Johnson added: “This has been one for the ages and easily the hardest labor and toughest grind mentally and physically of my entire career. Worth. Every. Second.”
The video also shows him giving away $10,000 in a raffle to members of the crew. It’s expected we’ll get our first look at footage from the movie at this year’s DC Fandome event in October.
That a wrap on BLACK ADAM
Incredible journey.
Hardest undertaking of my entire career physically & mentally.
Worth every second.
Boundless gratitude to my 1,000+ crew members, actors and director, Jaume Collet-Serra.
The hierarchy of power in DC Universe is changing.

“Black Adam” isn’t the only project that has wrapped of late. Johnson’s “Baywatch” co-star Zac Efron has also seen the completion of filming on the new adaptation of Stephen King’s early novel “Firestarter”.
Efron posed for photos on Instagram and Twitter alongside his young co-star Ryan Kiera Armstrong who plays his pyrokinetic powered daughter in the movie. That film is due on screens sometime in 2022.
