The Rock gives an update on his Black Adam movie!

Dwayne Johnson has something to tell you about his upcoming Black Adam movie: it's going to be "f—ing awesome." In an interview with MTV News, the Fate of the Furious star gave a small update on his upcoming role as the DC Comics villain and further explained why they decided to give the character his own film.

Way back in 2014, The Rock officially announced that he was set to play Black Adam, a warrior who wants to conquer the world with magic, after years of rumors. The character was originally meant to appear in DC's Shazam film, which is set to be released in 2019 but has yet to find a star or director. New Line announced earlier this year that they will now concurrently develop a movie based on Black Adam, apparently due to Johnson's increasing star power. The character will likely make a cameo appearance in an earlier DC film before getting his own movie, possibly showing up in 2018's Aquaman.
