To be directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, Warner Bros. Entertainment’s Black Adam has Beau Flynn, Dwayne Johnson, Hiram Garcia, Dany Garcia, and Scott Sheldon attached as producers with filming expected to begin from July 2020. It is believed Black Adam will be a standalone film and will eventually tie into the DC Extended Universe to battle the DC superhero, Shazam, who is considered in the lore as his arch enemy. Coming out as a Christmas holidays release, Black Adam, however, will be facing some mighty tough competition in the form of James Cameron’s Avatar 2, releasing on December 17, 2021. 

Black Adam will also be going up against the animated film, Hotel Transylvania 4 followed by the Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law starrer, Sherlock Holmes 3, scheduled for release on December 21, 2021, an untitled Disney live-action film on December 22, 2021 and La La Land director Damien Chazelle’s Babylon on December 25, 2021.
