EXCLUSIVE: Sometimes things are just meant to be, and in a great way.Warner Bros and New Line were faced with the daunting task of moving another tentpole out of this summer, specifically Dwayne Johnson’s foray into the DC verse, Black Adam.

The movie, which reps filmmaker Jaume Collet-Serra’s reteam with the action star after last summer’s Jungle Cruise, was originally expected to open next weekend, July 29.

but was forced to move Oct. 21 due to the pandemic backlog of VFX houses and the movie’s 2K-plus visual effects shots (Warners backfilled the date with Johnson and Kevin Hart’s animated DC League of Super Pets, which we hear could have a $30M start).But when one door closes, another opens, and now Black Adam gets to make a seismic splash in Hall H tomorrow.

San Diego Comic-Con’s return to in-person after three years during the pandemic wouldn’t be complete without the booming presence of the Rock.
