The Rock’s “Black Adam” Film Gets Release Date Delayed Due to COVID-19

The anticipated “Black Adam” film starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is currently without a release date.

Warner Bros. has made a slew of release date changes. Deadline reports the film, which was originally slated to be released on December 22, 2021, is now temporarily listed without a date. This is due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Batman, Matrix 4, and more also saw their release dates either pushed back or moved up.

The good news is that production on Black Adam will begin early next year. Pre-production for the film was interrupted by the pandemic earlier this year. Originally, filming was supposed to start over the summer.

For those who are unfamiliar with the character, The Wrap described it as, “Black Adam was a member of a powerful ancient civilization whose people were conquered and enslaved more than 5,000 years ago.”

The former WWE Champion is currently filming “Red Notice’.” The Rock recently talked about the filming process on Red Notice in this post on Instagram:

Another very productive work week on set of RED NOTICE 🙏🏾 * Some very cool Hollywood intel for all you cinephiles out there 🎥 I’m gonna sound like a big technology nerd but the hell with it, here we go🤓 The small @panavisionofficial camera on the right in this picture thats on a slider, on top of a wooden apple box is using one of the most prolific Hollywood lenses of all time. It’s an ultra Panatar anamorphic lens. The same glass that shot BEN HUR (1959) and LAWRENCE OF ARABIA (1962). 60+ year old glass with beautiful quirks and distortions and a unique bokeh. Old school shit — they literally don’t (and can’t!) make them like this anymore. We’ve coupled these lenses with the most cutting edge digital technology in the world — Red’s 8k Monstro — to achieve a look that’s both old school Hollywood & new school slick. No one’s photographed a film with this combo before — until RED NOTICE. A special shout to our brilliant/hungry cinematographer @markusforderer for his unique and groundbreaking vision. We’re making a great one. The world’s most wanted art thief. An FBI profiler. And the greatest conman the world has ever seen. #RedNotice #OldSchoolHollywood @netflix @sevenbucksprod @flynnpictureco @masistills 📸
