Featuring Johnson making his debut in the DCEU,Black Adamhas spent several years in development, but it’s finally coming to movie theaters this week. It’s too early to tell just yet how well exactly the film will perform at the box office, though it was met with mixed reviews from its early reviews by critics.
Be that as it may, the film’s producers are already looking forward toBlack Adam 2. At this time, a sequel hasn’t been officially announced by Warner Bros., though Johnson has been open about his desire to play the character in several films.

Will Black Adam Get a Sequel?
There are many directions that a sequel toBlack Adamwill go. Dwayne Johnson has long been teasing an eventual battle between his Black Adam and Henry Cavill’s Superman, with Aldis Hodge recently suggesting thata trilogy of films should lead up to that moment. Johnson has also teased that his anti-hero will have a crossover with Zachary Levi’sShazam!, showing how ambitious theBlack Adamteam feels about the future.
Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra,Black Adamalso brings in many new characters to serve as the JSA, so that opens the door for potential spinoffs as well. Along with The Rock in the lead, the film stars Aldis Hodge as Hawkman, Noah Centineo as Atom Smasher, Sarah Shahi, Marwan Kenzari, Quintessa Swindell as Cyclone, and Pierce Brosnan as Dr. Fate. Mo Amer and Bodhi Sabongui also star.
