Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has taken to Twitter to share a new teaser for Black Adam, and this latest look at the DC Comics film begins with a montage of clips from previous DCEU entries such as Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Birds of Prey, and Man of Steel.

Narrated by Amanda Waller (Viola Davis), the spot makes it very clear that Teth Adam was the ultimate power in this shared world before the likes of Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman arrived.

"Before a world of heroes and villains, one power ruled it all," Waller tells members of the Justice Society, who will be tasked with tracking the Man in Black down and bringing him in. Of course, that's going to be a lot easier said than done.

"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.

I just read up on black Adam’s history as I didn’t know much about the character but he sounds like he wants to protect his country Kahndaq and will do anything to protect it. He also got his powers by essentially killing his nephew who was given the powers by counsel of wizards. From everything I’ve seen in the trailers so far it looks more like a revenge film for the death of his son so is this a new story or am I missing some info?
GhostDog
GhostDog - 9/21/2022, 10:19 AM
@TheFireForce - yea them making his son sacrifice himself here instead of the killing of the nephew (new 52) is surely to make him more sympathetic. Funny since Rock keeps saying this guy is so “bad”

I really liked the new 52 origin. It showed Adam will go to some horrifying lengths to acquire the powers of the gods.
He is someone with little to no moral limitations.

@GhostDog - I honestly didn't like either change. He's supposed to BE the little boy, that's the whole concept. It's stupid that he's already a dude who looks like Dwayne The Rock Johnson.

Also, in the OG comics, there was the cool idea that he couldn't say "Shazam" and change back ever again, because if he did he would become a millenia-old corpse.

EZBeast - 9/21/2022, 11:37 AM
@GhostDog - yes! I actually really loved what I read as it made him sound like a hardcore antihero. Like I care ONLY for what I believe and everything else would basically burn at his hands. I get the sympathizing aspect for general audiences but it would’ve been really awesome to see a story about an actual villain become anti hero instead of a an already loving father becoming sort of an anti hero who is gonna save the world.

Also really dig the Shazam idea with him saying it and essentially dying.

@ObserverIO - “… cool idea that he couldn't say "Shazam" and change back ever again, because if he did he would become a millenia-old corpse.”

This sounds amazing. Would’ve loved to see that.

@GhostDog - I think they did it in one of his early appearances. Hold on, I'll see if I can find it...

It's Marvel Family #1 from 1945. It's only one panel, but I seem to remember another version that's way more Raiders of the Lost Ark, but I can't remember what that would have been published in.

I really, really wanted to be excited for this movie, but it's tough to get over The Rock in this role. He's just too cringe and stiff to be taken serious as a superhero. His niche fits as a comedic action star - nothing more, nothing less. It's a shame because the Black Adam character could have been a game changer for the DCEU.

I'm totally on board to check this out. I hope its fun. But from a strategic stand point, wouldn't it be good to keep the tie-ins to the old DCEU as small as possible? That way if it's a hit, they don't dig themselves deeper into having to stick with the old DCEU stuff. One of their issues is that some stuff seems to be working so they don't want to tear it all down, but the overall scheme isn't panning out.

Interesting. Look like they found Black Adam and accidentally revived or set him free. Hope Waller mentions Suicide Squad in some capacity
