Black Adam

Dwayne Johnson's 'Black Adam,' which follows the DC anti-hero of the same name, is coming to theaters July 29.

After over a decade in development, “Black Adam” will be released on July 29. In October of 2021, Johnson debuted a first look at the film on Twitter — which showed Black Adam breaking out of imprisonment after 5,000 years of captivity. DC Comics fans are getting a closer look at Dwayne Johnson’s “ Black Adam” in a new, action-packed trailer.

In the DC Comics canon, Black Adam is the nemesis of Shazam who got his powers from the same wizard. But you wouldn't know it from the trailer.

The Inverse Analysis — The trailer for Black Adam hiding the character’s connections to Shazam! is no mistake. And maybe they will — if Black Adam brings the thunder. With DC clearly unable to find the cohesiveness of the rival Marvel Cinematic Universe, the studio has more or less approached things from a “movie first” perspective, enabling its directors and writers to simply create. What Happened? — The trailer for Black Adam was released Wednesday, after several days of hype from Johnson on social media. (The “Stamina of Shu” and “Power of Aten” for example.) But the trailer is strangely hiding that fact.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is hurtling straight into the action in the first trailer for DC's latest blockbuster movie, "Black Adam."

The hierarchy of power in the DC Universe is changing." "As a kid, Superman was the hero I always wanted to be. The trailer for the DC Extended Universe

Black Adam dropped its trailer on Wednesday morning, giving the world the first full look at Dwayne Johnson as the titular DC Comics anti-hero.

That relationship I think is going to be really celebrated." "The violence is real and it can be rough and gruesome in places, but I think the audience will be okay. Furthermore, Black Adam is on a collision course with Shazam!, a DC character who was made to be family-friendly in his debut film. That relationship between Cyclone and Atom Smasher, I think is very unique. I mean, we really like to service all demos, all ages, but we had to be authentic to Black Adam and we had to really push," Flynn said. While speaking to ComicBook.com, Black Adam producer Beau Flynn opened up about how far the DC Comics film will push the intensity and violence.

Black Adam trailer has arrived, fully unleashing Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as a brand new force to be reckoned with in the DC universe.

Black Adam will release in theaters on October 21, 2022. Following Black Adam, DC’s The Flash will release in theaters on June 23, 2023, while Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom will now be released in theaters on March 17, 2023. “I was a slave until I died.

A full trailer has been released for DC's 'Black Adam' starring Dwayne Johnson, Pierce Brosnan and Noah Centineo.

The film has without question some of the biggest action sequences I have ever been a part of.” Teasing Black Adam back at DC FanDome in October, Johnson said: “This film, this universe has been a gigantic passion project of mine for a very long time. A full trailer has been released for DC’s Black Adam starring Dwayne Johnson – check it out below.

Even in the small bit of action we’ve seen in this trailer, Brosnan’s hypothetical spot in this comic universe is something that feels right. This is even more of an interesting coincidence, as today just happens to be an important day in Brosnan’s 007 history. As the new trailer for Black Adam is now online, Johnson’s anti-hero isn’t the impressive figure shown, as more of Pierce Brosnan’s Doctor Fate has been revealed.

The first trailer for Black Adam, starring Dwayne Johnson, is finally here, and it introduces the DCEU version of the JSA to the world!

That would be thanks to a dagger made of Nth metal which Carter touched, reconnecting him with his past lives and the truth that he’s the reincarnation of Khufu. That very same metal is what allows Carter to fly with his impressive golden wings. And, as the trailer teases, they have very different ideas of what it means to be a hero. In the comics, Carter Hall was the original Hawkman. Just like Black Adam and Doctor Fate, he has a connection to ancient civilization. In those TV shows–most recently Stargirl–viewers met Carter Hall’s Hawkman, who Hodge will be playing when the character hits the live action big screen for the first time in October. This is another character choice that proves how dedicated Black Adam is to exploring the origins of the JSA and the Golden Age of these DC heroes. It’s also very interesting as Black Adam’s birthplace of Khandaq was heavily based on Ancient Egypt which sits alongside Mesopotamia as one of the oldest civilizations on Earth. So don’t be surprised if we see some deeper history between Black Adam and Nabu. It was there that he was taught to wield magic and then eventually bestowed with the artifacts that gave him his powers, including that iconic helmet.

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson plays Black Adam, a former slave that died and became a God, who is awoken in the modern times.

Traditionally, he gets his powers from the wizard Shazam (the same one who turns Billy Batson into a super), but his misuse of those powers sees him quickly locked up. Adam’s past as a slave and the family trauma that drives him is hinted at, as he returns to Earth after 5,000 years of imprisonment.

Dwayne Johnson's super-antihero movie finally comes to theaters in October.

Naturally, that often involves electrocuting people to death with a scary version of Shazam’s powers, which, to the uninitiated, seems like something a bad guy would do. “Then I was reborn a god. “I was slave until I died,” Johnson says in trailer.

Via the post, Johnson expressed that Brosnan’s portrayal of Doctor Fate will be a hit with the public. On set, Brosnan and Johnson have gotten along swimmingly from the start. Paving the way for its upcoming debut, Johnson has praised Pierce Brosnan‘s portrayal of Dr. Fate, claiming that viewers would feel a strong connection with the character.

Black Adam is scheduled to hit theaters on Oct. 21, 2022. At long last, a Black Adam trailer has arrived.

In the New 52 continuity, Billy Batson, a.k.a. Shazam, met Black Adam shortly after he was chosen by The Wizard to be his new champion at the Rock of Eternity.

Did the Wizard originally pick Adam’s son to be his champion, and then once he died, he was cool with Adam inheriting the mantle? When Asher Angel’s Billy Batson was brought to the Rock of Eternity, he learned how Black Adam had been the champion of Djimon Hounsou’s Wizard millennia ago; Adam wasn’t outright named in the movie, but it was obviously him. Or did the Wizard try to take back that power from Adam, and that led to the Seven Deadly Sins wreaking havoc? What if, just like what happened between Adam and Aman in the comics, Johnson’s Adam actually murdered his son after not approving of the way he was using his power? However, in the DCEU, it will be Adam’s son instead of his nephew, and the circumstances behind the transfer of power have changed. We’ve known for years that Dwayne Johnson’s Teth-Adam will also be a slave from ancient Kahndaq, and just like in the New 52, a family member of his will be granted incredible power before him.

We break down the cast and crew, the characters, the comic book backstory, and more, including details from the first trailer.

In the modern part of the film, Black Adam will face Justice Society members Hawkman ( Aldis Hodge), Dr. Fate ( Pierce Brosnan), Atom Smasher ( Noah Centineo), and Cyclone ( Quintessa Swindell). The latter two are more recent members of the team who can claim original JSAers The Atom and The Red Tornado as relatives. Also, it is worth noting the Wizard’s ( Djimon Honsou) own mention of Teth-Adam’s failure in Shazam! when he first encounters Billy ( Asher Angel). We imagine Black Adam will expand on those fleeting moments. After ten or so years of talking about it in one form or another, Black Adam will finally come to theaters on October 21. Sarah Shahi also appears in the film as Adriana Tomaz. Although the studio describes her as an archeologist, comic book fans will recognize her as the reincarnation of Teth-Adam’s long lost wife and, eventually, the superhero known as Isis. The comic book character has some rather twisty origins, though, which means older TV viewers will remember her as a different Isis ( Joanna Cameron) from The Secrets of Isis Saturday morning television show – in which she occasionally encountered Shazam – while avid Legends of Tomorrow watchers will recall her connection to Zari Tarazi ( Tala Ashe). We doubt those connections will come up in the film, but with a Multiverse just off-screen, anything is possible. Although, as the team is also comprised of legacy character in subsequent iterations, we imagine this version of the team will reveal almost a century’s worth of legacy, if even just in passing. The Batman, for instance, does not occur in the same reality as Justice League or Shazam! Nevertheless, we’re willing to believe Black Adam was made with the intention of continuing the reality first outlined in Man of Steel – indeed, Johnson’s own comments across both DC FanDome events suggest a showdown with Superman is something he wants to do. Also, we imagine there will be a good reason why they are dealing with Black Adam instead of the Justice League. That is the internal struggle Teth-Adam faces, of course, and it appears he will do just that even as he tussles with insurgents, well-armed militaries, and superheroes. At the same time, as Dr. Fate ( Pierce Brosnan) tells him in the trailer, he will be presented with a choice to save the world or destroy it. Black Adam appeared in a single 1945 issue of the original Fawcett Comics’ The Marvel Family as the Wizard Shazam’s former and failed apprentice. Writers like Roy Thomas and Jerry Ordway would take his single appearance and build on it to include a deeper history in the region, a long-lost family, and a position as Captain Marvel’s Shazam’s archfoe. For the moment, we’re assuming it takes place on the same Earth as previous DC films like Shazam!, The Suicide Squad, and Justice League (either version). Of course, with DC-inspired movies, film-to-film continuity is always up for debate.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Black Adam, and he's got a grudge.

"The violence is real and it can be rough and gruesome in places, but I think the audience will be okay. Is it a plane? Is it a bird?

In October last year, the actor shared a short clip of Black Adam emerging from his tomb on social media, saying: “This character, this film, this universe has been a gigantic passion project of mine for a very long time. Former pro wrestler Johnson has been extremely vocal in his enthusiasm for his new superhero project prior to the movie's release. In the flick, Johnson plays Black Adam, a lesser-known character from DC Comics who, in the movie at least, is a former Egyptian slave reborn as a God.
