WATCH: Second Black Adam trailer is, well, it’s pretty great… the hype starts here

September 10th, 2022 by Marc Comments

The second trailer has dropped for Black Adam and, thankfully, it’s much, much better than the first.

If the rumours that this movie is a restart for the DCEU with everything following on from here is true, then this could be a good thing as the action and tone is very reminiscent of Man Of Steel and that makes us very happy and also makes us believe that we may well see Cavill’s Superman in this movie as has been hinted.

Also, it seems that Adam isn’t the only villain in the film with another threat, likely Sabbac, left with Hawkman, a villain who, like Shazam! can call on the powers of the DC universe’s strongest demons by saying his name out loud, making him a very formidable force for evil.

Over all, I must say I’m getting very excited for this and cannot wait to see it on the bg screen with everyone else.

See you all on October 20th in the cinema!

THE WORLD NEEDED A HERO… IT GOT BLACK ADAM

From New Line Cinema, Dwayne Johnson stars in the action adventure “Black Adam.” The first-ever feature film to explore the story of the DC Super Hero comes to the big screen under the direction of Jaume Collet-Serra (“Jungle Cruise”).

In ancient Kahndaq, Teth Adam was bestowed the almighty powers of the gods. After using these powers for vengeance, he was imprisoned, becoming Black Adam. Nearly 5,000 years have passed and Black Adam has gone from man, to myth, to legend. Now released, his unique form of justice, born out of rage, is challenged by modern day heroes who form the Justice Society: Hawkman, Dr. Fate, Atom Smasher and Cyclone.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
