Wow! 1st trailer was just okay too me, I wasn’t as down as everyone else. But this looks really good. And I’ll admit I’m biased as I grew up reading JSA comics and I’m a big fan of Black Adam. Also, the action sequences and cinematography look stunning. After watching The Gray Man on Netflix and how (no pun intended) gray and dull and boring that movie looked. Nice too see a blockbuster with some damn colors popping off the screen and real style.
The more I see of this the more I am convinced it won’t be good. I’m less impressed with it. I like Pierce Brosnan as Dr. Fate, Arnold Vosloo would have been perfect once upon a time, but they have an Nth Metal Hammer get geeked right in the trailer.
Edit – I was gonna add this comment below as a reply to /u/reality-check12’s comment but it was deleted:
It looks better than the first trailer but that’s not saying much. Even though The Rock has a presence both from talking and narrating as well as just physically “being” in the trailer, it equally feels like Pierce Brosnan held up this trailer with his own narration and physical presence as well, and it’s definitely an easy bet that Brosnan will be the acting centerpiece of the movie.
I hope I’m wrong and I Rock and all the other actors bring in as well. I hope the writing is there and the plot doesn’t suck, but the trailer before this one didn’t lie, and I think that this trailer was just more well-made and put together, but not indicative of the final product.
Black Adam IS that villain that’ll put a hole through your heart, yet defend you, if the time calls for it, as well. This version ain’t showing that.
Wishful thinking, but I would had loved to see a future episode of “Peacemaker” where Peacemaker confronts Black Adam. Since we have two WWE stars in DC projects.
Any theories on how they’re handling the connection with Shazam? I think it’s odd that there’s no references (however small) in either way with the new Shazam 2 trailer and this.
I expect a lot of “ugh, The Rock is just being The Rock again” comments like in every BA tease we’ve gotten so far, but I actually…don’t see it? I am not even a DC fan (Shazam is the only thing they’ve done that I’ve enjoyed so far), but the typical The Rock moves aren’t here.
There’s no cringey eyebrow raise, no smirk of overconfidence right before throwing a punch, none of the bullshit swagger/pseudo-charisma he tries to show off.
It just genuinely looks like a kind of typical anti-hero who’s very big and not very nice.
Separately, it’s interesting to see that DC actually looks better visually now after years of Marvel dominance. Despite the insanity of their world (dark and fantastical), as Marvel shifts into Cosmic Mode, this trailer somehow looks more realistic and better than just about everything Marvel has put out in the last few years.
Why the fuck are people in this thread acting like Dr Fate and Hawkman are common household names that are just as interesting as Marvel ones?
I’ve never heard of any of these folks and I have a feeling 99.9% of other people haven’t either and this thread is either being brigaded by the biggest DC fans of all time, or it’s being astroturfed.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard someone say “I can’t wait to see Dr Fate on the Big Screen”, but suddenly it’s a fucking selling point of this movie to like a dozen commenters?
This looks so much like it’s going to be another soulless CGI destruction porn movie. I’d love to be wrong, but man, both those trailers have been rough.
The tone of this is completely off to me. Makes this supposedly ancient, all powerful being come across as an annoyed buffoon, no doubt in service to the deluge of quips it will have.
Looks amazing. Background score is lit. Dwayne’s character looks intense.
Hoping for a great back-story for Black Adam.
**Pierce Brosnan’s Doctor Fate :**
> You can be the destroyer of this world or you can be its savior.
**Goosebumps**
Looks interesting. But not that much new footage.
Looks actually good. Better than the first trailer
Multiple Dr. Fate fighting Black Adam, YES. I’m so excited to finally watch Dr Fate in live action.
Viewers at SDCC said they saw footage of Black Adam crushing spines and dismembering an arm.
Brosnan as Dr Fate is so dope ..
I would be more interested in his movie.
I think this will be a fun movie with good action.
Looking forward to it..
Pierce Brosnan looks like he’s OWNING it as Dr. Fate.
Black Adam looks suitably intense.
this looks like it could be good but goddamn the “the world needed a hero, instead it got black adam” is the worst tagline
it makes the movie sound like it’s about a bumbling idiot with superpowers and not someone with immense power but with a loose moral code
I’m actually way more excited about seeing all of the side characters than Super Rock..oh I mean Black Adam
Hmm better than the first trailer. Looks like they’re actually making him a villain.
It’s crazy, the Rock is obviously the bigger star by far, but the new Shazam trailer looks 10 times better than this.
Anyone else just see THE ROCK doing cosplay???
I can’t. He’s too big. lol
Not great not terrible

I think I’m experiencing Rock fatigue
That color palette is so ugly
Why does it look like it has an Instagram filter over it?

Noah centineo went from being the internets boyfriend to getting 2.5 seconds of screen time in a preview 😂
Hawkman jobbing is comic accurate af, and Doctor Fate looks super cool.
Meh.
Coming this Rocktober
Why this movie got the Mexico filter
Absolute garbage.

Man, Brosnan fits so well as Dr. Fate, but why do I feel like he’ll just have 5 mins of screen time.

For a movie about Black Adam, everything surrounding him in the film looks more interesting than he does.
Yawn. Another boring, soulless CGI fest.

Burn me but that looks better than Love and Thunder imo.

They still haven’t shown the plot or who his antagonist is he will fight in the third act. Not a good sign.
There’s the first view of Blue Beetle in this movie?
This looks more like **The Rock ft. Black Adam**
Black Adam? Sounds like forced diversity
The tone of this is completely off to me. Makes this supposedly ancient, all powerful being come across as an annoyed buffoon, no doubt in service to the deluge of quips it will have.
Gonna enjoy the hell out of this and shazam
