New Black Adam fan art imagines Dwayne Johnson’s anti-hero battling a giant Atom Smasher. Fans have been waiting to see Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson suit up as the superhero for several years at this point, as the casting was announced nearly a decade ago. Johnson was first attached to play Black Adam in Shazam!, however he will currently be getting a performance excursion instead. After this announcement came in 2017, script revises resulted, trailed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the two of which delayed the film’s course of events significantly.
With a year to go until Black Adam’s introduction in theaters, the artist known as Datrintiart on Instagram is here to make the wait somewhat more bearable. The latest Black Adam fan art imagines Dwayne Johnson as the titular anti-hero in a fistfight with an enlarged Atom Smasher. In the caption, the artist communicated their fervor for seeing Teth-Adam in real life, the character’s original name, during his time as a slave from Kahndaq. Look at the fan art underneath:
Black Adam got another piece of fascinating fan art from the same artist earlier this month, which imagined The Rock’s anti-hero facing off against Henry Cavill’s Superman in the DCEU. Since the chances of Cavill repeating his part in the DCEU are really thin at this point, Datrintiart’s latest piece imagines a considerably more possible scenario. With plot details hush-hush, it can almost certainly be assumed that Atom Smasher and the JSA will act as Black Adam’s rivals in the film.
Also known as Al Rothstein in the funnies, Atom Smasher can handle his molecular construction, in this manner manipulating his size and strength. While this may give him a size advantage over Black Adam, the anti-hero’s degree of solidarity can be equated to Superman’s, making him a commendable adversary against the super-sized Atom Smasher. It’s unclear if the film will decipher these forces similarly, yet this showdown could probably turn into a reality when Black Adam debuts one year from now.
