DC Comicsin Black Adam saadaan elokuvateattereihin kuluvan viikon perjantaina, ja pääosassa nähdään Dwayne Johnson. Useita kertoja tehtiin selväksi antisankarielkeet, mutta lapsilta kiellettyä R-merkintää ei raina saanut.
Ikärajan pitäminen aisoissa eli mallissa PG-13 oli vaikeaa tuottajien Beau Flynn ja Hiram Garcian mukaan. Elokuva piti antaa tarkastettavaksi neljä kertaa, ja tietty ikäraja oli tärkeää saada.
Toivottavasti joskus saataisiin sellainen lapsilta kielletty erikoisversio vaikka 4K-julkaisuna.
"We really wanted to make sure that we honored the character of Black Adam. One of the things he's known for is his aggression and violence, and to do a Black Adam movie that didn't have that just wouldn't have been authentic. So we always went into this knowing that we were going to push it as far as we did. We knew it was going to be a collaborative process with the MPAA to finally get it to where we were able, to get that rating, but we were able to pull it off. But it was really important for us to do that. And that's something Dwayne was very committed to as well."
Flynn kertoi, että kriittisiä kohtia leikattiin moneen kertaan.
"We did have to make a lot of edits, actually. There are some personal moments that we really love, but we had to let them go. But we never compromised, we never had to cut a scene. We had some really cool moments, and if you notice, there are some great moments when Black Adam is in the fly bike chase sequence and drops one of the intergang soldiers. Then there's this great moment where the truck bounces over the body. But those are moments that you need and remember in these movies, you know what I mean? You can't play it safe, and you have to go for it. And I think we have four or five of those. At one point we had about ten, and we were able to find some compromise with the MPAA on that."
