What Brings The Hype On DC’s Black Adam?
Of course, there’sThe Rockto start with, his charisma and star power are huge factors that would entice people to buy movie tickets. After all, he starred in so many commercially successful action adventure movies such asJumanji,Fast & Furious, andRampage, to name a few.
Moreover, the introduction ofBlack Adamwill open new doors for other characters and lores from the DC Comics library.Pierce Brosnanwill star as Doctor Fate, and the Justice Society of America will finally be unveiled. The film signals a new period for DCEU, the long-awaited revival of the franchise after the dawn of theJustice League.
Although, most of the hype for the movie is now placed on the circulating leaked post-credits scene where Johnson’s Black Adam will be fighting toe-to-toe with Henry Cavill’sSuperman. Now, that imposes a new idea that Black Adam might become the new leader of the DC universe.

Will The Movie Live Up To The Excitement?
Until the film is released, fans can only speculate based onearly screening reviewsand the entire presence of the movie amongst DC fans. For many years, the studio has been recreating the same stories using the same popular heroes that most of the audience have seen since they were children, not exploring lesser-known characters outside of theJustice League.
Black Adamis a fresh concept with so much potential to create a new world of superheroes and villains that DC fans have yet to see. It is now the age of anti-heroes and complicated antagonists, and The Rock’sBlack Adamdelivers exactly that. Here are some tweets from viewers who attended the early screening:

DC’s#BlackAdamROCKS! Tons of action, characters you’re instantly invested in & terrific pacing. Dwayne Johnson finds a great balance in being menacing & badass, but also empathetic. Especially loved Aldis Hodge’s Hawkman & Pierce Brosnan’s Doctor Fate. More JSA movies please!pic.twitter.com/YSCco9zYA3

#BlackAdamis a worthy new piece of the DC puzzle, but not the savior it promised.
A surprising compressed timeline keeps the action exciting & pace propulsive, but also turns its many (many) themes, plots, & characters into fancy window dressing. It’s messy in a watchable way.pic.twitter.com/uwZUb2hbiM

There is a reason for the hype the movie gets, and as far as the early reviews are concerned, it’s going to be a commercial success. Now that we have eased restrictions, more and more people are going to watch it just because it’s something new, popular, and a reminder that we are past the old version of DC.
