Producer Beau Flynn told Collider that it took four edits for “Black Adam” to get a PG-13 rating (for audiences 13 and older).

In previous films, the public often saw Dwayne Johnson in a familiar role, a muscular man, rough but funny and emotional.

However, his role in the upcoming “Black Adam” of the DC Cinematic Universe Extended (DCEU) is different. According to Mo Amer co-star, Black Adam is fierce and brutal, in a scene from the movie “Black Adam”, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson said, “Let’s kill them”.

According to the producers, the dark, cruel tone for the character of Black Adam and the whole movie was the original goal, thus creating a rather “deadly” atmosphere.

Producer Beau Flynn told Collider that it took four edits to get the film to a PG-13 rating (for audiences 13 and older). While an R rating (age 18 and up) isn’t “the end” for comic book movies, “Deadpool” and “Logan” have in the past hit this rating. However, “banning” teenagers from the theater is not a smart choice at the moment. Moreover, the movie “Black Adam” is a huge box office increase opportunity for the DCEU, because this main character is loved by many readers.

However, producer Hiram Garcia said, if you choose a brighter color tone, the DCEU is clearly “shooting itself in the foot”, because the origin of the character Black Adam is inherently dark.

“We really wanted to make a movie that honors the character of Black Adam,” Garcia said. “One of the things that made this character famous is his aggression and brutality, and a Black Adam movie without that wouldn’t be there,” Garcia said. so we always try to exploit as much as we can. The whole crew knows that it will be a process of coordinating with the review board and coming to a common voice. “.

Contrary to Superman which is to save as many people as possible, in the original Black Adam has repeatedly killed bad guys openly.

“I think it’s important to know that Black Adam is killing the bad – for the sake of the people he’s protecting and because of how he defines morality. With that comes the line between good and good. and evil? Right and wrong? What do you have to do to do justice in a practical way,” said the “Black Adam” producer.

Beau Flynn admitted: “We had to do a lot of editing. There were some personal moments that the crew really liked but had to cut. But it was only a moment, and the scene remained intact. .”

While Black Adam will be busy taking on DC villain Sabbac and the criminal organization Intergang, the anti-hero will also have to face the Justice Society of America. The DCEU version of the popular Golden Age team, which traditionally preceded Justice League will feature Atom Smasher, Cyclone, Hawkman, and Doctor Fate.

Talking about the film, film critic Courtney Howard said: “The Rock is great in Black Adam, satisfying the need for a superhero movie in bleak times. Director Juame Collet-Serra laid the groundwork for a larger universe. The action is very large and real.”

Film critic Scott Menzel praised Black Adam: “Black Adam is everything I hoped to be and more. A Snyder-style anti-hero spectacle that delivers massive action and dramatic plot twists. Dwayne Johnson plays Black Adam, a role he was born to play. Centineo & Swindel are very happy.”
