There is no one on this planet that can stop Black Adam … or his merch.
Ahead of New York Comic Con (NYCC), Warner Bros. Consumer Products (WBCP) and DC officially dropped the curtain on a massive consumer products program built around Black Adam as the film races toward its Oct. 21 theatrical release in the U.S.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson took to Instagram this morning to kick off the onslaught with the debut of the collection from Under Armour, but that’s just the beginning and The Pop Insider has some highlights! After all, the mighty hero graces the cover of our 2022 Holiday Gift Guide!
“Black Adam deserved more than a portrayal,” said Johnson says. “He deserved a transformation. Every training session, every rep, every drop of sweat was my commitment to disrupt the very notion about this character and myself.”
The collection features apparel, accessories, and the Black Adam PR 5 training shoe. You can get into the heroic spirit by picking these up at Under Armour and Dick’s Sporting Goods.
Rock some Black Adam style with new apparel from Bioworld, Fifth Sun, Issac Morris, LTD, Trevco, and IML available at Amazon and Target. Walmart has its own line of T-shirts from Mad Engine and Hot Topic has an exclusive line of graphic T-shirts.
Loungefly is rolling out a Cosplay Mini Backpack and matching Ziparound Wallet. RockLove has a Black Adam lightning bolt necklace while Hot Topic has a full range of earrings, charm bracelets, pins, necklaces, scrunchies, and keychains. Amazon is offering Black Adam wallets and belts from Buckle-Down. Warner Bros.’ DC Shop is also packed with exclusive merch.
Let’s just say that the lineup for this is … robust.

McFarlane Toys is also bringing the hits with 7-inch DC Multiverse figures including Black Adam, Hawkman, Dr. Fate, and Cyclone. There are also Atom Smasher and Sabbac Mega Figures and a line of DC Direct movie statues.
And you can’t have a movie without a full range from Funko!
