Fans have been waiting to get our first look at Dwayne the Rock Johnson's Black Adam for awhile now and today at DC Fandome we finally got our wish. It wasn't and official teaser trailer but it was official footage of Black Adam himself in a scene where he is discovered.
Check out the footage here:
It looks like the film will stick somewhat to a revised comic origin of Black Adam, where he becomes corrupt and takes over Egypt, only to get his powers striped away from him by the wizard Shazam. Shazam puts his powers into a scarab necklace, which seems like it could be a type of crown in this first look but we'll have to see about that, and then puts Black Adam and the necklace in the tomb of Ramesses II where he plans on them both staying there for eternity.
Fortuntaly, for Black Adam, an archaeological aide named Theo Adam finds himself assigned to the Malcolm Expedition, financed by the Sivana Foundation to excavate the tomb of Ramesses II. Theo Adam takes the necklace and kills C.C. Batson and his wife Marilyn Batson, the parents of Billy Batson, who would go on to become Captain Marvel aka Shazam. Eventually, Theo Adam realizes that he is a reincarnation of Black Adam. He puts on the necklace and says SHAZAM and becomes Black Adam.
“Black Adam” will hit theaters on July 29, 2022.
