Other cast members are Sarah Shahi, Marwan Kenzari, James Cusati-Moyer, Bodhi Sabongui, Mo Amer, and Uli Latukefu.
In the comics, Black Adam initially appears as a villain against the superhero character Shazam. Adam was the first champion mainstay of the wizard Shazam for centuries. Over time, Adam became greedy for power and later turned into Black Adam. This forces the wizard to seal the villain for centuries, meanwhile he finds a new superhero hero, namely Billy Batson who is also the central character of the film Shazam! in 2019.
Jaume Collet-Serra (Jungle Cruise) is directing the film from a script written by Rory Haines and Sohrab Noshirvani following an earlier draft from Adam Sztykiel. The film will be released on July 29, 2022.
