“We are here to negotiate your peaceful surrender.” “I am not peaceful, nor do I surrender.” Warner Bros has unveiled the second official trailer for Black Adam film, a spin-off of the Shazam series, focusing on the origins of this DC Comics anti-hero. This epic final trailer takes all the humor out of the last trailer and overloads flashy superhero VFX and explosive action. Dwayne Johnson stars as Black Adam, an anti-hero from Kahndaq who was imprisoned for 5,000 years after gaining god-like powers. He will become the archenemy of the superhero Shazam, also seen in another film, and shares his powers from the ancient wizard of the same name. Other DC characters, including the Justice Society of America (JSA), appear in this film and try to take him down. The cast includes Noah Centineo as Atom Smasher, Aldis Hodge as Hawkman, Sarah Shahi, Quintessa Swindell like cyclone, Pierce Brosnan as Dr. Fate with his golden helmet, Marwan Kenzari and Bodhi Sabongui. This finally looks like it could be a solid anti-hero movie – balancing the team of “good guys” against the intensity of Black Adam taking no crap from anyone.
