Dwayne was pictured from behind to show off his suit, which seemed to perfectly fit his body and was covered in intricate inscriptions.

Black Adam is traditionally depicted in a black costume that’s similar to other superhero looks, though he usually has a lighting bolt over his chest and a black cape.

Johnson appeared to be standing on a platform with steps leading down to a long stone walkway, with sand and dirt to the side, plus bits of pulverized rocks.

People were seen down on the ground working on the set to give a sense of scale, and an enormous shattered ruin had been placed off to the right side.

The former WWE star faced an entranceway with hieroglyphics over the door, which was temporarily covered in scaffolding.

‘On set. BLACK ADAM⚡️,’ The Rock began his post.

‘This image of Black Adam from behind gives you a tactile sense of the absolute massive scale and size of our movie.

‘You also see a little of the intricate and beautiful textured detail of Black Adam’s body suit. (this is not your typical DC or Marvel padded muscle suit),’ he clarified.

‘And finally you get a glimpse of the enormous and appropriate destruction,’ he wrote, suggesting that his character was responsible for the devastation created on set.

Johnson added that superheroes traditionally aren’t out for blood and ‘don’t kill the bad guys.’

‘But, Black Adam does,’ he continued, adding that, ‘The hierarchy of power in the DC UNIVERSE is changing.’

He concluded by calling Black Adam an ‘Antihero,’ a ‘Man in black’ and a ‘Protector of his people.’

Last week, Johnson shared more behind-the-scenes images and revealed that he was already in the final week of production on the DC comics film.

Another black-and-white photo showed him looking incredibly chiseled as a makeup artist applied white dots to his body which would be used to help the visual effects team track and reproduce the movements of his body and muscles in post-production.

Another set photo he shared showed the muscle-bound actor screaming dramatically while a camera on a robotic arm was placed behind him.

The Fast & Furious franchise star was originally set to appear in the 2019 film Shazam! in the Black Adam role, with his character being the primary villain.

But after concerns from producers that Johnson might be wasted as a villain in that film, he was removed from it and given his own solo Black Adam film, and he and Shazam are now planned to meet in a future installment.

The character was first featured in 1945, but it wasn’t until the early 1970s that DC Comics began using him regularly as a villain for Shazam.

However, starting this century, Black Adam was rewritten to be a tortured antihero, which is the version of the character Johnson is bringing to life.

Coming soon: On July 30, his Disney movie Jungle Cruise will be released, and his Netflix action thriller Red Notice — the streamer’s most expensive ever — arrives in November; seen in 2019

The A-lister has plenty of high-profile projects coming up, including his Netflix action thriller Red Notice, which got a November release date from the streamer last week and was revealed to be its most-expensive original production to date with a reported budget of $200 million.

The production, which also stars Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds, seems to have been a good experience for the ex-wrestler, who was impressed with his costar Reynolds’ talents and came to think he was the best actor he had worked with to date, according to We Got This Covered.

Johnson will also be back in theaters on July 30 with the release of his Emily Blunt–costarring Disney movie Jungle Cruise.
