DC FanDome has given fans a new look at Black Adam via a concept trailer. Black Adam may not be as famous as some of DC's other iconic supervillains, but the character is considered Shazam's arch-enemy and has fought other members of the Justice League on several occasions in the pages of the comic books. Black Adam has also appeared in several animated DC adventures but has yet to get a live-action adaptation.
Dwayne Johnson has been developing Black Adam with Warner Bros. for years, and Johnson has been very vocal with giving fans updates on the progress of the film. Originally Black Adam and Shazam were going to be introduced in the same movie, but Warner Bros. eventually decided to give them both solo movies before they square off. Because of this, story details on Black Adam have been scarce, with Warner Bros. focusing on bringing Billy Batson to the big screen first. Fans were hoping to learn more about Black Adam at DC FanDome, and the event didn't disappoint.
Fans have learned a lot more about Black Adam thanks to a concept trailer that was released at DC FanDome. The trailer is full of new pieces of concept art of Johnson in costume as well as giving fans more information on the anti-hero's origin story. Fans can check out the concept trailer below:
Throughout the development of Black Adam, it's been a mystery whether Black Adam would be a hero or villain in his solo movie. In the comics, Black Adam is clearly a villain, but Johnson has been making it seem like his character may be portrayed differently in Black Adam. This concept trailer proves that to be true, with Black Adam being born after rising up to destroy Kahndaq slave owners. From this trailer, it's clear that Black Adam is neither a hero or villain, but rather an anti-hero.
While this is the newest look at the movie, fans have gotten a few looks at Black Adam in the past. The first official piece of concept art came when the film got its official 2021 release date, and Johnson just shared a new piece of Black Adam concept art last night in anticipation of DC FanDome. With that in mind, this trailer is by far the best look fans have gotten at the film so far. Not only does it give fans plenty of new looks at Johnson’s character, but it also effectively tells his origin story and gets fans excited for his solo outing.
