Black Adam – Official Trailer 1
The world needed a hero, it got #BLACKADAM. Only in theaters October 21.
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.
Collet-Serra directed from a screenplay by Adam Sztykiel and Rory Haines & Sohrab Noshirvani, screen story by Adam Sztykiel and Rory Haines & Sohrab Noshirvani, based on characters from DC. Black Adam was created by Bill Parker and C.C. Beck. The film’s producers were Beau Flynn, Dwayne Johnson, Hiram Garcia and Dany Garcia, with Richard Brener, Walter Hamada, Dave Neustadter, Chris Pan, Eric McLeod, Geoff Johns and Scott Sheldon
“Black Adam” smashes into theaters and IMAX internationally beginning 19 October 2022 and in North America on October 21, 2022. It will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
If this movie bangs DC should focus on villain movies a Deathstroke movie would sound sick
@Kevin Bravo Reynolds would be great as deathstroke but the guy has made more money from the deadpool franchise the last 6 years than he made the previous 25 years of his career. disney won’t let him go back to DC unless they get a share of the revenue or they put deadpool into moth balls.
We need a dark gritty r rated deathstroke solo movie for like yesterday.
yes yes yes
Hopefully if this movie does well it’ll spawn some more anti-hero/villain movies from DC. A Deathstroke solo movie would be sick, he’s my favorite DC villain.
“Shadow War” comic run across multiple titles about Deathstroke just ended and I loved it personally. Check out the trade when it’s out if you haven’t read the softcovers.
It clearly will
👀 The Connections (2021) [short documentary] 🔥
*THIS FREAKIN’ ROCKS!!*
I concur.
Lol I get it 😂
Pun intended 😂
This looks super promising! DC has been killing it lately.
@Justin Lenger ‘JEL Productions’ i think batman happens in year 1 or 2, it should be bruce learning about it. the film did not focused on relations at all but in him find out wants he wants to be ( all the film its build for the bandit speech in the end. who are you ? im vengeance) he saw himself in the bandit at that moment( learning to be hope instead of fear)its not the batman from dark knight that give us an older bruce. i believe batman 2 would focus in Relationships, probably…
what i most enjoyed on the film ( i saw the movie in screen x ) was the dedective/noir style instead of just focus in action.
That doesnt mean i dont like the dark knight instead of that i love it to i just think its stupid to compare both when they are differrent movies.
I love all the spiderman movies and they are differrent.
if they followed dark knight style it would be better dont make at all because we dont need a remaster….
@Fearl The Suicide Squad was sooo bad what ??? xD
@Justin Lenger ‘JEL Productions’ I think the intent was for it to be refreshing to audiences that do know the long exposition. The relationship this one focused on which the others glossed over was Batman’s relationship to crime and his role in it. And I think this Batman did an excellent job of showing the grief on his face. He’s a man entirely destroyed by his parent’s death and you see that in every scene with Wayne’s face. It’s too early to say but they seem to have left room for character development.. This is basically an expansion of Christian Bale’s Wayne when he was prepared to avenge his parents in the court room in broad daylight. He’s a not the narcissistic Bruce persona yet. And he’s not an experienced Batman yet. But that’s my opinion
@hashknight1 Debatable… but okay. That’s your opinion.
@Justin Lenger ‘JEL Productions’ everything they put out is excellent
A Part of me misses the Widows Peak but knew they potentailly couldnt do it well in live action loll but Pointy ears possibly, tho again its always been so weird to me to see Black Adam become more of an Anti-hero even in the comics just cause I am soo used to him being A Supervillain/Anti-villain but regardless Im sure the Rock will bring it
Maybe they got rid of the widows peak to avoid confusion if Marvel makes a Namor movie 🤷♂️ who knows why studios do things, but this movie looks good all the same
BA being more of an Anti-hero or even hero by now is hardly new, it is pre-2000s, all back to late in “The Power of Shazam” series and then JSA (and complete with a lot of past misdemeanour hand waiving too, of the “it was the other guy who is an entirely different person but just so happened to have taken possession of my body real quick” variety too). Almost a quarter of a century now.
Yeah, the widow’s peak will be missed. I’m glad he has the hood, though.
Yeah I remember that really really evil Adam from the post crisis Era but the new 52 magneto-esque Adam was a cool character too imo. And the people’s champ is definitely gonna bring it. 🤨😎🤨
Talk about the perfect casting choice, I can already see Dwayne Johnson absolutely owning this role.
@kim mogensen No, they weren’t as “White” as Romans, only the Macedonians and maybe people from the Delta were similar to the Romans. The Ancient Egyptians from Upper Egypt were ever darker and more African the closer to Nubia you got to, until they were indistinguishable from the other Horn of Africa Africans like the Somalians and Axumite/Ethiopians.
@Monjur 101 No. It means HE LOOKS MORE LIKE THEM THAN MODERN EGYPTIANS DO! Also, they could have hired an Egyptian actor that isn’t well known outside of Egypt and the movie would be a guaranteed epic fail, at least the Rock is a famous action movie star, and that gives the movie a chance. This is how Hollywood has operated since the 1930’s, use stars with Box Office appeal to make otherwise mediocre movies profitable. It’s a business, not an art form.
This movie will give us the whole new meaning of epic and badass word. It will be godly. Black Adam.👿🔥🔥🔥🔥
Why are you lying to get likes? nobody besides WB could’ve known that they were going to make Black Adam bald (he has hair in the comics) so how could Dwayne Johnson have been the perfect casting choice?? 🤔🤨
Not really I could think of plenty of better casting choices like Mark Strong. First time I saw a live action adaptation of Dr Fate was in Smallville Season 9 Absolute Justice which was cool but it was bad since he got killed by Icicle Jr like WTFLIP 😂. This looks cool I’m just not having high expectations for modern DC movies ever since Batman V Superman which was an ok movie bombed critically and box office wise as Wonder Woman, Man of Steel and Wonder Woman were DC’s best movies despite their flawed storytelling and writing. Aquaman sucked so I see that DC is making movies about villains due to their lack of success making DC superhero adaptations. I hope Dwayne The Rock Johnson actually acts in this movie as Teth Adam Black Adam not just playing himself like he always does.
I’m somehow curious how the character of Cyclone is going to be handled, this is technically her first live action debut, apparently for the movie the character has been heavily reimagined, so let’s see how is going to turn out.
i was thinking the same
excited to see dc reaching into the magic/darker side of the universe. hoping to see more justice league dark/justice society stuff in the future. superhero films are much more interesting when they stretch into extreme corners like super cosmic or dark magic or gritty street level stuff as opposed to just making it all one blob. lantern corps, batfam, swamp thing, zatanna, ms martian, hawk corp, hawkworld, etc are so interesting but havent been explored yet
People still don’t realize that he was ALL those things: villain, hero and anti hero. He was after all a part of the JSA. People need to read World War 3 in 52 Weeks to grasp the real Black Adam
This looks way too awesome than I expected.
Hope this paves way for Man of Steel 2 and a solo Affleck Batman movie.
