Watch The Rock become a god in the first Black Adam trailer

Do you want to see The Rock fly alongside fighter jets and punch a plane? Black Adam has that. Do you want to see The Rock throw a man from the ground up to the clouds above? Black Adam has that too. Black Adam even has The Rock catching a rocket with his bare hands and holding it as it explodes, walking away presumably unscathed. Black Adam has The Rock doing a bunch of things that only a superhero can do, except, he's not one.

As made abundantly clear in the first official Black Adam trailer, Johnson's titular anti-hero is not afraid to do away with the superhero label in the name of his own justice.

Suffice to say, the first look at Black Adam has silenced doubters, but it's how these things work. Trailers are supposed to sell audiences on a good time and this one has clearly done that. The more pressing matter is, will Black Adam deliver? Unfortunately, we'll have to wait a while to find out more. Black Adam isn't scheduled to hit theaters until October 21 after an initial delay that thinned out the DCEU's upcoming slate of films this 2022.
