Since the Golden Age of Comics, there have been good guys and bad guys. Heroes and villains, saviors and sinners. But what happens when the world encounters a being of absolute power, who could tip the very scales of all that is known in a radically different direction? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, that is not a reference to Superman<\/strong> or the Man of Steel<\/em><\/strong> movie. This time, its related to an entirely different superbeing from the DC Entertainment<\/strong> fold. And the first full trailer for this character has landed with a splash. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After years of wallowing in development hell, and being bounced around like Plastic Man<\/strong> wrapped up in ball form, Black Adam<\/em><\/strong> starring Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson<\/strong>, has dropped a full length trailer. This comes on the heels of its first poster with a sweet tagline and release date hitting the Internet on June 7, 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra<\/strong>, with script by Adam Sztykiel<\/strong>, Rory Haines<\/strong> and Sohrab Noshirvani<\/strong>, this trailer is keeping a lot in suspense on purpose, but also showcases just how powerful Black Adam is. And when the word powerful becomes obsolete, god-like is just as good. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Created in 1945 by Otto Binder<\/strong> and C.C. Beck<\/strong>, and first appearing in The Marvel Family #1<\/em><\/strong>, Black Adam aka Teth Adam<\/strong>, was the original wielder of the power of the wizard Shazam<\/strong> before Captain Marvel\/Shazam<\/strong>. And while the good Captain draws his abilities from the likes of Solomon, Hercules and Zeus, Black Adam takes his gifts from the gods of the Egyptian pantheon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another thing that this full-length trailer does that is sure to get DC fans up and excited, is more footage of the legendary Justice Society of America<\/strong> in action too. There is some delightful narration from Pierce Brosnan<\/strong> as Kent Nelson aka Doctor Fate<\/strong>, who ominously speaks of seeing a vision of Adam being the destroyer or its savior. The choice is his alone to make. And one heck of a line from Aldis Hodge <\/strong>suited up as Hawkman<\/strong>, “There are heroes and villains. Heroes don’t kill people”. To which The Rock just deadpans in response “Well I do”. On top of Pierce and Aldis in costume, we get some great shots of Noah Centineo<\/strong> as Atom Smasher<\/strong> and Quintessa Swindell<\/strong> as Cyclone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Needless to say the energy from this trailer is literally crackling with awesome and it is the hopes of this author that a film that has been on and off the table since the early 2000s will not disappoint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Black Adam<\/em><\/strong> opens in theaters on October 21, 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\n
