Black Adam Wants to Be PG-13 and Let the Bodies Hit the Floor

A moment in which a soldier points his gun at Dwayne Johnsons hooded Antihero was captured on the Black Adam footage that DC Fandome released back in October. Adam grabs the soldier's throat and electrifies him until he is dust. This is a very gnarly moment, which feels like a joke next to Johnson's claims that his character was a hero. It sounds like the rest the movie will do the same.

Hiram Garcia, the producer of Red Notice and Johnson's new heist comedy, exaggerated how Adam would, to be honest, just fuck everybody up in his movie, while remaining PG-13. Garcia laughed. Black Adam is very edgy. This movie is rated PG-13. It was very similar to The Dark Knight. That's what we did with Black Adam.

Adam is not in agreement with Garcia's statement. This comes at a time when R-rated superhero movies such as The Suicide Squad and Deadpool have been able to flourish. He told Polygon in August that Adam was always intended to be rated PG-13. Black Adam will only give justice to the extent he feels appropriate. People rarely walk away from the justice that he provides. We fully honor that. Johnson hasn't had many movies rated R since his first movie career. The last was 2017's Baywatch reboot.

Garcia took the time to promote the films Justice Society of America. Adam will be fighting with Garcia throughout the film. Garcia wanted to ensure that the film did justice to the JSA, a beloved DC Universe staple, even though they're going to be beaten in the head. He also praises the actors, including former James Bond Pierce Brosnan and Leverages Aldis hostge as Hawkman. These characters are beloved by DC Universe fans. Knowing our expectations of how the characters would appear, we sought actors who could bring the same wisdom and poise to Hawkman and Dr. You would have the following: Fate, of older statesmen

Garcia said that Hawkman is Hodge's favorite character and that he is so great as Hawkman. They all did a great job. We were blown away by their reading ability and knew immediately that these were the men for the role.
