The long-awaited trailer for Dwayne Johnson's DC movie Black Adam has been released. Even before the film's release, Johnson had shared plenty of behind-the-scenes shots of the film's sets raising the bars skyward while revealing clicks of himself in an impressive superhero outfit.
Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, the film is set for release on October 21 and is being dubbed the game changer for the DCEU. In addition to Johnson, the film also stars Aldis Hodge, Noah Centineo, Quintessa Swindell, Pierce Brosnan, Sarah Shahi, Uli Latukefu, Marwan Kenzari, Mohammed Amer, James Cusati-Moyer, and Bodhi Sabongui. It's set to bring to life a spin-off based on the popular movie Shazam! that was planned to have a Black Adam cameo in 2019, but Johnson made the executive decision to give the character his own speech.
As for the film's plot, the official synopsis reads, "Nearly 5,000 years after receiving the almighty powers of the Egyptian gods and just as quickly being imprisoned, Black Adam is released from his earthly tomb, ready to unleash his might." unique". form of justice in the modern world".
In the comics, Black Adam is the yang to the yin of Billy Batson, a previous recipient of Shazam's sorcerous powers who was banished for 5,000 years after he abused them. In the movie, the same 5,000 year period is in place, but instead of Black Adam traveling back to Earth from a distant galaxy where he had been sent in disgrace, he apparently awoke from an ancient tomb. Maybe the CGI was just easier.
The weird thing here is that we seem to be introduced to Adam as a good guy, or at least someone with the potential to help rid Earth of evil forces, whereas in the print version the character started out as a bad guy. and only decades. later. he began to appear as a more positive figure. This probably has a lot to do with the fact that he's being played by Dwayne Johnson, Hollywood's leading muscle man now that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone are in their 70s.
Johnson seems to have been attached to the role for at least a couple of those five millennia, and now that he's finally here, "nearly 5,000 years after he was granted the almighty powers of the Egyptian gods and was just as quickly imprisoned." , Black Adam is released." from his earthly tomb, ready to unleash your unique power "form of justice in the modern world." The trailer is determined to show you that he's a different kind of hero, a serious one who happily kills his enemies... and doesn't care too much about pesky moral codes. I guess when you've been locked up this long, a little senseless murder doesn't register that high on one's list of indiscretions.
All will likely work out for the best when Black Adam lends a hand to the recently introduced Justice Society of America, perhaps as the black-ops-style blunt instrument needed by the likes of Aldis Hodge's Hawkman, Noah Centineo's Atom Smasher and Doctor Fate. by Pierce Brosnan. to help them save the day without raising their moral whistles. But it could cause problems down the line if Johnson prepares to take on Batson/Shazam or Superman.
