Sneak Peek Comic-Con Trailer for 'Black Adam' Starring Dwayne Johnson

“The world needed a hero… instead, it got me.” Well, at least he's badass! Another special Hall H Comic-Con trailer to watch now. Warner Bros has presented this sizzling short reel for Black Adam, the Shazam series spin-off focusing on the origins of this DC Comics anti-hero. It looks like this will connect directly with the Shazam! The film Fury of the Gods - which will be released a few months later. Dwayne Johnson stars as Black Adam, an anti-hero from Kahndaq who was imprisoned for 5,000 years after gaining godlike powers. He will become the sworn enemy of the superhero Shazam, also seen in another film, and shares his powers with the ancient wizard of the same name. Other DC characters, including the Justice Society of America (JSA), appear in this film trying to bring him down. The cast includes Noah Centineo as Atom Smasher, Aldis Hodge as Hawkman, Sarah Shahi, Quintessa Swindell as Cyclone, Pierce Brosnan as Doctor Fate, as well as Marwan Kenzari and Bodhi Sabongui. It's a better look than the first trailer, I just hope they really let him loose as the main anti-hero character and didn't limit his intensity too much.

Here is the Comic-Con 2022 preview for Jaume Collet-Serra's Black Adam, live from YouTube:
