Only 3 months ago, Black Adam officially started production. Now, producer and star Dwayne Johnson has announced the final week of filming. In addition, the action movie superstar shared a brief look into the grueling dietary requirements and physical training he had to undergo in order to achieve the ideal shape for the virtual demigod.
Take a look at what the man called "The Rock" had to endure for his upcoming super-powered role! Getting the right fit Black Adam is known as one of the major powerhouses in the DC Comics superhero universe. The character, after all, has all the powers of the deities and mythical heroes that comprise the magic word SHAZAM (which in his case are the Egyptian gods Shu, Horus, Amun, Zehuti, Aten, and Mehen).
Even prior to his transformation, his mortal form of Teth-Adam was a powerful physical specimen.
Because of this, any actor that would take on the role of the DC Comics antihero would find it a tall order to get into the right shape. This is why fans have often pointed to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as the ideal person to take on the role. Even in his days as a sports entertainer in the World Wrestling Federation/WWF (later World Wrestling Entertainment/WWE), Johnson was already famed for his massive, muscular build.
