The first trailer for Black Adam is now online, and it features plenty of exciting footage of Dwayne Johnson's mega-powerful antihero taking out bad guys (permanently) and facing-off with Hawkman, Doctor Fate and the other members of the JSA.
We begin with a voiceover from Johnson's Teth Adam, who explains that he died a slave before being reborn "as a god." Members of The Justice Society of America are clearly concerned that this near-omniscient level of power will corrupt, as Doctor Fate warns Adam that he will either save the world or destroy it.
From there, we see some shots of the JLA in action as Hawkman points out that heroes don't kill. "Well, I do," comes The Man in Black's response.
Check out the trailer below along with some stills and a new synopsis, and let us know what you think.
"From New Line Cinema, Dwayne Johnson stars in the action adventure Black Adam. The first-ever feature film to explore the story of the DC Super Hero comes to the big screen under the direction of Jaume Collet-Serra (“Jungle Cruise”). Nearly 5,000 years after he was bestowed with the almighty powers of the ancient gods— and imprisoned just as quickly—Black Adam (Johnson) is freed from his earthly tomb, ready to unleash his unique form of justice on the modern world."
Johnson stars alongside Aldis Hodge (City on a Hill, One Night in Miami) as Hawkman, Noah Centineo (To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before) as Atom Smasher, Sarah Shahi (Sex/Life, Rush Hour 3) as Adrianna, Marwan Kenzari (Murder on the Orient Express, The Mummy) as Ishmael, Quintessa Swindell (Voyagers, Trinkets) as Cyclone, Bodhi Sabongui (A Million Little Things) as Amon, and Pierce Brosnan (the Mamma Mia! and James Bond franchises) as Dr. Fate.
Black Adam will be released nationwide on 21st October 2022 by Warner Bros. Pictures.
