After some major delays, director Jaume Collet-Serra\u2019s Black Adam feature starring Dwayne \u201cThe Rock\u201d Johnson is finally hitting theaters this fall, and a new trailer\u2019s just dropped introducing the movie\u2019s titular antihero as he first comes to power in the modern age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Black Adam\u2019s first trailer introduces Teth-Adam (Johnson), a man born into enslavement in the fictional country of Kahndaq some time in the distant past. Though Teth-Adam dies by the hand of his enslavers, he\u2019s brought back to life by a magical bolt of lightning seemingly called down by his son shortly before the boy dies from the strain of the ritual. It\u2019s Teth-Adam\u2019s son\u2019s death in the past that first radicalizes him and emboldens him to use his newfound powers to seek a kind of justice so brutal that those around him are forced to lock him away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Black Adam won\u2019t just be a story about Adam himself, though, and the trailer teases how a version of the Justice Society of America, consisting of Hawkman (Aldis Hodge), Atom Smasher (Noah Centineo), Cyclone (Quintessa Swindell), and Doctor Fate (Pierce Brosnan), will rise to stop him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Black Adam thunders into theaters on October 21st.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
