With only a few months left in the release of the film, a huge hype has been built around it. And Warner Bros. is also adding to the excitement of the fans. Also, the fans are more hyped to see The Rock make his DCEU debut. At the CinemaCon this year, being held in Las Vegas, Warner Bros. was one of the studios who took part.

“A ship flies over ice as Adam is put in stasis. There are shots of him as a slave before being ‘reborn as a god.’ Adam says, ‘I kneel before no one.’ Doctor Fate says, ‘I’ve seen the future. Either you [Black Adam] will destroy this world or be its savior.’ It cuts to Adam walking through a desert, and someone shoots a rocket at him. He catches the rocket and it explodes. He survives but looks pissed as electricity crackles around him. It also includes shots of the JSA in action. Atom Smasher is in his giant form and runs down the street. The Hawkman shot from the original trailer is shown. Cyclone is seen inside a ship, with more quick shots. Someone says, ‘Heroes don’t kill people,’ while Adam replies, ‘Well, I do.’ Then he punches a guy so hard the person flies high into the air, disappears, and dies.”

Black Adam is coming out soon

The movie, Black Adam, was set to release on July 29, but the date was pushed back to October 21. It was because some heavy VFX work was not complete yet. The origin story of the character is the same as Teth-Black from the comics. The movie will also mark the debut of many other characters from the American Justice League.
