But now, we get Johnson as Black Adam, as well as Aldis Hodge as Hawkman and Quintessa Swindell as Cyclone as members of the JSA, and Sarah Shahi as Isis. Audiences walked away from that one feeling totally wronged, and disappointment flooded the online boards. Don’t get us started on the abysmal portrayal of Cyborg in Justice League. We had a great run with the CW series, Black Lightning. We had Halle Berry’s Catwoman … enough said. decided to take a Superman side character and give him his own movie, Steel starring Shaquille O’Neal. It could be said that Black Adam could cause a cultural shift for DC fans of color. After panels and early teasing conversations, it’s exciting to get a taste of what we can expect. The trailer highlights some fun action and introduces DC comic characters we have not seen yet. He has a resume that houses films I thoroughly enjoy, including House of Wax (2005), Orphan, The Shallows, and a host of films starring Liam Neeson.

I am excited to see what Johnson brings to the role as an antihero, but I am also curious about director Collet-Serra. The Justice Society of America (JSA) may try to stop him, but only he can save the world. He is ready to unleash his unique brand of justice in the modern world. Freed from his earthly tomb, when the world needed a hero, Black Adam answered the call, fueled by revenge. Nearly 5,000 years ago, Teth was bestowed with the almighty powers of the Egyptian Gods. Johnson is Teth Adam, aka Black Adam, one of DC’s mightiest antiheroes who often blurs the line between hero and villain. Black Adam is directed by Jaume Collet-Serra ( Jungle Cruise) and follows Black Adam’s origins. With an extremely positive review of the trailer, DC and Rock fans are eager for more. By now, the entire world has seen the new Black Adam trailer starring Dwayne Johnson.
