Black Adam Set Photo Reveals Glimpse at the Anti-Hero’s Iconic Suit

During the final week of production for Warner Bros. Pictures’ Black Adam, lead star Dwayne Johnson took to Instagram to share a brand new behind-the-scenes photo from the Atlanta set of the highly-anticipated DC film. The new Black Adam set photo, which you can check out below, provides us our first glimpse at Johnson in the anti-hero’s iconic black suit.

The blockbuster actor went on to describe his suit as “not your typical DC or Marvel padded muscle suit,” emphasizing the intense workout training he went through in order to achieve his superhero physique. He is also seen facing towards a long path seemingly surrounded by ruins that lead to an archaic doorway.
