Black Adam is a 2022 American superhero film based on the DC Comics character of the same name. Produced by New Line Cinema, DC Films, Seven Bucks Productions, and FlynnPictureCo., it is a spin-off from Shazam! (2019) and the 11th film in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra and written by Adam Sztykiel, Rory Haines, and Sohrab Noshirvani, the film stars Dwayne Johnson as the titular character alongside Aldis Hodge, Noah Centineo, Sarah Shahi, Marwan Kenzari, Quintessa Swindell, Bodhi Sabongui, and Pierce Brosnan.
Johnson was attached to Shazam! early in development and confirmed to portray the villain Black Adam in September 2014, but the producers later decided to give the character his own film. Sztykiel was hired in October 2017. Collet-Serra joined in June 2019 for a planned release date of December 2021, but this timeline was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. Additional casting took place over the next year, including four members of the Justice Society of America (JSA), and the script was rewritten by Haines and Noshirvani. Filming took place from April to August 2021 at Trilith Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, and also in Los Angeles.
Black Adam had its world premiere in Mexico City on October 3, 2022, and is scheduled to be released in the United States on October 21, 2022, by Warner Bros. Pictures. The film received mixed reviews from critics.
Five thousand years ago, the city of Kahndaq was under the tyrannical rule of king Anh-Kot, who intended to create the Crown of Sabbac, which is known to give the wearer great power. Having enslaved and forced his people to dig for "Eternium" - the magical crystal which is necessary to create the crown. A slave Teth-Adam, found the crystal but was murdered by an overseer. Adam's son Hurut then led a revolution, until he was captured and sentenced to be executed. Hurut was suddenly given the power of Shazam and tasked with ending Anh-Kot's reign.
In the present day, Khandaq is oppressed by Intergang. Archaeologist Adrianna Tomaz tries to locate the Crown of Sabbac, with the help of her brother Karim, and colleagues, Rami and Ishmael. As Adrianna obtains the crown, they are ambushed by the Intergang, killing Rami in the process. Adrianna accidentally reads an incantation which awakens Adam from his slumber, who subsequently slaughters most of the Intergang troops. After an Intergang soldier shoots an Eternium rocket at Adam which renders him comatose, it is revealed that Ishmael is an Intergang member who intends to take the crown for himself.
Government official Amanda Waller learns of the incident and contacts Carter Hall / Hawkman to assist in taking Adam into custody. Hawkman is accompanied by his fellow members of the Justice Society of America (consisting of Kent Nelson / Doctor Fate, Maxine Hunkel / Cyclone, and Albert "Al" Rothstein / Atom Smasher) to stop Adam.
Adrianna sees an inscription on an inner part of the Crown which states "Life is the only way to Death". Adrianna's son sees Adam as Khandaq's hero, but Adam denies it. As he leaves their home, Adam approaches the statue of Khandaq's champion, which he recognizes. Amon makes a ruckus with the Intergang and Adrianna comes in time to save him. As the Intergang soldiers are about to take them, Adam intervenes and overpowers them.
The JSA arrive in time to stop Adam from doing further destruction. As they fight, Fate senses that Adrianna has the Crown of Sabbac. They manage to stop Adam for a while before he flees to the ruins of Anh-Kot's palace. The JSA ask Adrianna to give them the crown, but she declines until they tell her the truth that Adam was the one who lost control of his power five thousand years ago and destroyed most of Khandaq.
The crown is given to Amon, who takes it back home. Ishmael is there with Karim, and reveals his true colors. Amon runs away from Ishmael, who shoots and wounds Karim, and chases Amon. Meanwhile, Adrianna and the JSA meet Adam, and attempt to convince him that he can be a hero to Khandaq, before Amon calls Adrianna, who pleads to Adam to save him. Adam immediately comes to the rescue, but Ishmael manages to abduct Amon and flees on an Eternium bike.
Adam tries to rescue Amon by dealing with the Intergang on bikes to no avail. As Adam goes back to Adrianna's home, Hawkman manages to capture two Intergang members and interrogate them about their hideout. Adam uses brute force to interrogate both of them and learns where the Intergang's hideout is, but his way of interrogation enrages Hawkman. As Adam and Hawkman fight, they find that Amon hid the Crown of Sabbac in plain sight. They intend to use the Crown to trade with Amon and must fight side by side to save him. On their way, Fate reveals to Hawkman of his premonition about Hawkman's death and it is involving Adam.
They reach Ishmael, who reveals that he is the last descendant of King Anh-Kot and, wanting his rightful place in the throne, demands the crown, which Adrianna willingly gives to save Amon's life. Unfortunately, Ishmael betrays his own words as Adrianna gives him the crown and he mentions: "Death is the only way to Life" before shooting Amon and putting the crown on himself. As Adam tries to save Amon, he loses control again and destroys the hideout with his power, until the JSA protects Amon and Adrianna as Ishmael dies in the process.
Guilt-ridden, Adam flees to the ruins again. There, he confesses to Hawkman that it was actually Hurut, his son, who was Khandaq's champion; knowing that Hurut was invincible, the king's men executed Hurut's family instead, killing Isis and mortally wounding Adam in the process. Hurut gave his power to Adam to save him, but Anh-Kot's archer managed to kill the now-powerless Hurut. Enraged, Adam slaughtered all of the king's men, before he was summoned by the wizards of Shazam, who imprisoned him as they deemed him unworthy, until Adrianna awoken him. Feeling incapable of becoming Khandaq's champion and protect it, Adam then surrenders to the JSA, who take him to Waller's underwater prison. Soon after, Fate still gets the ominous premonition. It is later revealed that Ishmael intentionally made Adam kill him, so that he can be reborn as Sabbac which he succeeds in doing so, and arises from the underworld to Khandaq to claim his throne. The JSA arrive in time trying to stop Sabbac, who summons the undead to Khandaq. Adrianna and Amon fight them, only for Karim to come and save them. Amon asks for the people of Khandaq to fight together for their freedom again.
The JSA prepare to face Sabbac in Anh-Kot's ruins. There, Fate creates a magical force field which forbids Hawkman, Cyclone and Atom Smasher from coming into the ruins, and reveals that Hawkman's death can be avoided, with Fate's sacrifice. Fate then fights Sabbac alone, and at the same time he uses astral projection to call for help from Adam in his suspended animation. Adam manages to escape the prison, but Sabbac is too strong to be defeated alone by Fate, and kills him in the process. Fate's death allows the force field to disappear, allowing Hawkman, Cyclone and Atom Smasher try to fight Sabbac, who overpowers them. Just as he is about to kill the JSA, Adam arrives, and engages Sabbac, but is slowly losing as Sabbac's power can harm him. Before Sabbac can finish Adam off, Hawkman uses Fate's helmet to perform magical feats he learned from Fate to help Adam kill Sabbac, ultimately stopping the undead.
The JSA depart on good terms with Adam, as he accepts his new role as protector of Khandaq.
In a mid-credits scene, Waller communicates with Adam, warning him about forces ready to stop him, before he is confronted by Superman.
