Black Adam social reactions are officially coming in as critics give their thoughts on Dwayne Johnson's DCEU film. After being cast nearly a decade ago, Johnson is officially making his way into the DCEU as the DC icon Black Adam. While Warner Bros. originally wanted Shazam! to feature Black Adam, Johnson persuaded the studio to let both characters have their own standalone films before they eventually clash on the big screen.
Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, Black Adam focuses on Teth-Adam's grim origin story as a Kahndaq slave who is given godlike powers that turn him into one of Earth's most powerful beings. While Black Adam will be busy taking on the DC villain Sabbac and the criminal organization Intergang, the anti-hero will also be facing the Justice Society of America. The DCEU's version of the famous Golden Age team, which traditionally predates the Justice League, will feature Atom Smasher, Cyclone, Hawkman, and Doctor Fate, who will go after Black Adam when he starts wreaking havoc in modern times.
Black Adam is roughly a week away from opening in theaters worldwide, and as usual, various members of the press have been able to screen the film in advance as they are now sharing their first impressions online. Check out several excerpts below:
