It was a long time ago when the Jumanji actor Dwayne Johnson was promoting the antihero DC movie, Black Adam. And now, after what appears to be a huge amount of filming done, the first photos of Noah Centineo and Quintessa Swindell appear on the internet playing the role of Atom Smasher and Cyclone. The fans however are not impressed that much and so…the trolling begins.

What the fans say to these Black Adam characters
The character of Atom Smasher is similar to Ant-Man from the Marvelverse. It is noted however that Atom Smasher was the first one to debut followed by Marvel’s Ant-Man. And that is exactly what the fans are calling him, low-budget Ant-Man (ouch).
I'm sorry
That's Antman and Valkyrie— DwiTyo (@mazcreate) July 21, 2022
Although Atom Smasher and Ant-Man have very different powers, the fans still love to compare Marvel with DC.

Talking about Quintessa Swindell, she will be portraying the character of Cyclone. As her name suggests, Cycloneis able to mentally summon cyclones and whirlwinds, project powerful bursts of air and fly through the air by riding wind currents. Although sticking strictly to aerial activities, she does look like Tessa Thompson’s Valkyrie from Thor: Ragnarok & Thor: Love and Thunder. Shared below are some of the tweets and reactions that fans had to the reveal:
Why am I getting CW vibes from this image alone 😐😐😐

CW is known for having a library filled with television shows about superheroes but they are very limited by television restrictions.
No hate but this picture is not really flattering for a 200 millions dollars movie, from the lighting, to the production design, the make up. The actors are both cute but darling it's giving CW, hope the rest of the movie is better

The plot of Black Adam
Before bestowing the powers to Shazam, the wizard had bestowed them on an Egyptian man who wanted to rule the world. After being banished to the farthest planet and calling himself Black Adam, the anti-hero returned to Earth after a grueling 5000 years to destroy what once destroyed him.
