Black Adam is an upcoming American superhero film based on the DC Comics character of the same name. Produced by DC Films, New Line Cinema, Seven Bucks Productions, and FlynnPictureCo., and set for distribution by Warner Bros. Pictures, it is intended to be a spin-off from Shazam! (2019) and the eleventh film in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and written by Adam Sztykiel and Rory Haines & Sohrab Noshirvani, the film stars Dwayne Johnson as Teth-Adam / Black Adam alongside Noah Centineo, Aldis Hodge, Sarah Shahi, Quintessa Swindell, and Pierce Brosnan.

Johnson was attached to Shazam! early in development, and confirmed in September 2014 that he would portray the villain Black Adam. The producers decided to split the character off to his own film in January 2017, and Sztykiel was hired that October. Collet-Serra joined in June 2019 and filming was expected in July 2020 for a December 2021 release date, but these plans were delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Additional casting took place over the next year, including for members of the Justice Society of America (JSA), and the script was re-written by Haines and Noshirvani. Filming then began in April 2021 in Atlanta, Georgia and it's scheduled to last until August.

Black Adam is scheduled to be released in the United States on July 29, 2022.
