We're now just a little over six months away until audiences around the world are set to be introduced to a whole new region of the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), with Black Adam making his debut onto the big screen. The highly-anticipated film will finally bring Dwayne Johnson's take on the DC antihero to life. Back in October, the first footage for the upcoming film was released during DC FanDome, which looks very promising thus far. Alongside Black Adam himself, the film will also introduce many heroes from the Justice Society of America. If you haven't already, you can check out the released DC FanDome footage for Black Adam below.

While the highly-anticipated film won't be released in theaters until later this summer, the majority of the cast and crew of Black Adam have already shared their excitement about being a part of the DCEU. In a recent interview with Collider, Black Adam producer and Seven Bucks Productions President Hiram Garcia recently revealed his dream project. He hopes to move forward with that particular dream project is actually an adaption of the iconic DC miniseries Kingdom Come. Hiram Garcia has also revealed that a Kingdom Come film has already been discussed, but nothing else has moved forward beyond that just yet.

"Look, I think the dream project that's something we've always spoken about at Seven Bucks, we would love to make someday, which is a tougher ambition due to, obviously, IP and rules and so forth, but always been obsessed with Kingdom Come, the Mark Waid/Alex Ross joint that those guys did," Garcia explained. "I think that storyline was always so compelling. We've always envisioned it as kind of an epic, multi-film saga. I think that's something we've always dreamed of being able to do. If there was ever a dream project, and not trying to start a fire where it's like we're gunning after that, because it's just pie in the sky, you'd love to be able to tell the story, and I always admired that story of the juxtaposition of old-school heroes versus new-school heroes and how they clash and a world so divided in terms of how they view what is justice now and what was it and what should it be. It's always just always something very compelling in the big, cataclysmic mash-up of old versus new. That's something that, look, in a perfect world, we could do it, would love to do it."

For those that aren't familiar with popular DC comic book miniseries, Kingdom Come was published back in 1996 written by Mark Waid and Alex Ross. This four-issue Elseworlds story is actually a deconstructionist tale set in a future that deals with a growing conflict between the visibly out-of-touch "traditional" superheroes, and a growing population of largely amoral and dangerously irresponsible new vigilantes, in many cases the offspring of the traditional heroes. Between these two groups is Batman and his assembled team, who attempt to contain the escalating disaster, foil the machinations of Lex Luthor, and prevent a world-ending superhuman war. Black Adam is directed by Jungle Cruise's Jaume Collett-Serra, and will also feature Aldis Hodge as Hawkman, Noah Centineo as Atom Smasher, Quintessa Swindell as Cyclone, Pierce Brosnan as Doctor Fatte, and Sarah Shahi as Adrianna Tomaz. Uli Latukefu, Marwan Kenzari, Mohammed Amer, James Cusati-Moyer, and Bodhi Sabongui have also been cast in undisclosed roles.

"We're just so excited for you and the fans to see the film, because this cast and crew worked exceptionally hard to just make this film feel fresh, and really introduce a new group of incredible characters to the world," Garcia explained in an interview with Collider earlier this year. "All while making sure we unleash Black Adam on the DC Universe in a big way. This guy is an absolute force of nature. A force of nature that dishes out justice the way he wants. Unfortunately not many people walk away from the kind of justice he delivers. We mean it when we say the hierarchy of power in the DC Universe is going to change. When Black Adam arrives, everything's going to change."

It will definitely be interesting to see if the producers behind Black Adam will actually bring the Kingdom Come miniseries onto the big screen. Black Adam is currently set to hit theaters on July 29, 2022. DC will also be releasing three other new DCEU films later this year. These new films include The Flash, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, and Batgirl. Stay tuned for all the latest news on the highly-anticipated DC film, as well as a potential Kingdom Come adaptation.
