At this time there are not many details on the film, as there is no writer, director, or a release date set. Black Adam first appeared as Teth-Adam of Khandaq in Marvel Family #1 in 1945, and has been both a villain and a hero. Black Adam has powers comparable to that of Shazam, including flight, strength, agility, lightning manipulation, as well as magic.
