Actor Aldis Hodge Is Already Looking Jacked for 'Black Adam'
Black Adam, starring The Rock, is scheduled to hit theaters in Summer 2022.
The movie will be the 11th entry in the DC Extended Universe, and will also feature Aldis Hodge as Hawkman.
Hodge is already teasing the progress of his physical transformation for the role.
When Black Adam arrives in theaters next summer, the DC Extended Universe is going to get that much bigger, and introduce some big guys for good measure. While the titular character—played, of course, by The Rock—goes without saying, we've also seen some incredible progress from Noah Centineo, who will be playing Atom Smasher. The latest member of the crew to show off just how jacked he's getting is Aldis Hodge, who will make his DC debut as Hawkman in the film.
"Making progress everyday. Almost where I need to be," the actor captioned his black-and-white Instagram post with. "The adjustments to eating, sleeping and training aren’t always easy. And my body is fighting pain and soreness every day, but I’m loving it!"
Black Adam will be the 11th entry into the DC Extended Universe movie franchise (following this summer's The Suicide Squad; Zack Snyder's Justice League is not considered part of this continuity), and will primarily serve as a prequel of sorts to 2019's hit Shazam!.
Hodge has had a strong 2020 with the release of a hit movie—The Invisible Man—and a critical darling—One Night In Miami. Now, he's riding that into an even stronger 2021 as the second season of his Showtime series, City on a Hill, alongside Kevin Bacon, airs, and he prepares for Black Adam. His character, Carter Hall/Hawkman, first appeared in Flash Comics #1 all the way back in 1940.
Hodge closed his Instagram post out by making clear that he still feels like he's got work to do.
"I can’t meet my full potential until I step outside of my comfort zone. So imma keep on steppin ??," he wrote. "?.............????............ ?? Potential - Me - Comfort Zone @blackadammovie #blackadam ????????????"
Barring any delays, Black Adam is scheduled to hit theaters on July 29, 2022.
