'Unlike any other role of my entire career': Dwayne Johnson on playing DC anti-hero Black Adam

Hollywood star Dwayne Johnson says playing DC anti-hero Black Adam in the much-anticipated stand-alone movie has been the most challenging task in his two-decade-long career.

The professional wrestler-turned-actor, who is currently shooting for Black Adam, shared a picture of himself in a beefed up avatar from his training session.

'Big week for #BlackAdam shooting my 'champion' scenes with my shirt off and showing my body,' Johnson wrote alongside the photo on Instagram Sunday. 'Been working extremely hard dieting, training and conditioning unlike any other role of my entire career,' he said, adding he is grateful for the 'grind and support'.

Black Adam is a spin-off of Warner Bros and New Line Cinema's Shazam!, featuring Zachary Levi.

The character first appeared in DC Comics in the 1940s as a villain corrupted by power. He became an anti-hero in the early 2000s.

Jaume Collet-Serra, who has directed Johnson in the upcoming Jungle Cruise, is helming Black Adam.

Rory Haines and Sohrab Noshirvani wrote the latest draft of the script, from a previous draft by Adam Sztykiel.

The movie also features Aldis Hodge, Noah Centineo, Quintessa Swindell, and Pierce Brosnan.

Johnson is also producing the film with Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia via their Seven Bucks Productions, and Beau Flynn through FlynnPictureCo.

Black Adam is scheduled for a 29 July, 2022 release.

Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary, and is just a natural part of the way the world works. 2. Anything that's invented between when you’re 15 and 35 is new and exciting and revolutionary, and you can probably get a career in it. 3. Anything invented after you're 35 is against the natural order of things.” Cut to the world of music. As much as technology has been a driving force in the industry, the advent of any innovation has often been received with skepticism before it goes on to become the norm. Harnessing that interplay between the creative process of making music and the technological enhancement given to said music, is acclaimed DJ and producer Mark Ronson. In his just-released six-part mini-docuseries Watch the Sound with Mark Ronson , he astutely defines how different the process of creating a great ...
