You don\u2019t need him to tell you this, since obviously you know it\u2019s true: Dwayne Johnson definitely will \u201ckneel before no one,\u201d and you can see for yourself in the first full trailer for \u201cBlack Adam.\u201d Watch the embed above<\/p>\n

\u201cI was a slave until I died. Then I was reborn a God. I kneel before no one,\u201d he says in the trailer.<\/p>\n

Can you reason with Black Adam? Probably not. When Hawkman tells him, \u201cHeroes don\u2019t kill people,\u201d Adam replies, \u201cWell, I do.\u201d This is followed by Adam enduring waves machine gun fire and catching a rocket in mid-air with a wave of explosions to boot. He\u2019s pretty powerful \u2014 obviously, since he gets his powers from the same place Shazam does.<\/p>\n

Previously at Cinemacon, Johnson said that he\u2019s been discussing the idea of \u201cBlack Adam\u201d for the last 10 years. He described the Black Adam character as \u201cDirty Harry\u201d of the superhero world. <\/p>\n

Plot details about \u201cBlack Adam\u201d \u2014 the second New Line DC film following 2019\u2019s critical and cult hit \u201cSHAZAM!\u201d \u2014 are still largely under wraps. But it\u2019s known that Black Adam will face off against the Justice Society superhero team.<\/p>\n

The first look at how the Justice Society will appear onscreen came two summer during the first installment of DC FanDome, courtesy of two \u201cBlack Adam\u201d teasers introduced by Johnson, back in 2020. The clips, which were motion-comics created entirely using concept art, explained that Black Adam was once a member of an advanced ancient civilization chosen by the Council of Wizards \u2014 the same group whose last surviving member\u00a0gave Billy Batson his powers in 2019\u2019s \u201cShazam!\u201d\u00a0\u2014 to liberate his people from slavery.<\/p>\n

However, Black Adam\u2019s brand of Justice was too cruel and vindictive and in response, the Council imprisoned him, seemingly for all eternity. But 5,000 years later, he escapes \u2014 and yeah, now we know how \u2014 and sets out to continue what he started. This time, superheroes have emerged, and four of them \u2014 Cyclone, Atom Smasher, Dr. Fate and Hawkman \u2014 unite as the Justice Society to challenge Black Adam.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Johnson produces and stars in \u201cBlack Adam,\u201d which is his live-action entry into the DC universe and reunites him with \u201cJungle Cruise\u201d director Jaume Collet-Serra. The film also stars Pierce Brosnan, Sarah Shahi, Noah Centineo and Aldis Hodge as members of the Justice Society.<\/p>\n

Black Adam was created by Otto Binder and C. C. Beck in 1945 as the one-time opponent of Shazam (Captain Marvel) during the character\u2019s Fawcett comics era.\u00a0Following DC Comics\u2019 acquisition and revival of \u201cShazam\u201d in 1973, Black Adam emerged as one of the DC universe\u2019s most popular antiheroes and is now considered one of Shazam\u2019s core arch enemies.<\/p>\n

Warner Bros. and DC are now releasing the film in theaters on October 21, 2022.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
