Dwayne Johnson has shared a sneak-peek video of his upcoming DC film Black Adam, teasing that he was “born to play” the “ruthless” antihero.

The Jumanji star, who’ll be playing DC supervillain Black Adam in the project, revealed one of the opening scenes from the upcoming film during the DC FanDome event, telling fans that it explains “why the hierarchy of power in the DC universe is about to change”.

Johnson introduced the clip with a short featurette, in which his co-stars Pierce Brosnan (Dr. Fate), Aldis Hodge (Hawkman), Quintessa Swindell (Cyclone) and Noah Centineo (Atom Smasher) spoke about their characters, before describing Black Adam as a “gigantic passion project” of his.

“I have worked so hard, worked these hands, these callouses, my fingers to the bone on this project because it’s the kind of project that I know comes along once in a lifetime. And the truth is, I was born to play Black Adam.

Ladies & gents…
Enjoy your WORLD EXCLUSIVE first look⚡️

He is ruthless.
He is unstoppable.
He is the reason the hierarchy of power in the DC UNIVERSE is about to change.

He is #BLACKADAM
