What I think of the Black Adam trailer
The new Warner Bros. Black Adam trailer looks really good, so let's get into it.
Firstly, the opening shot in the trailer shows Black Adam floating in the sea, which is very reminiscent of an almost identical shot in Man of Steel. Is this a reference to a possible appearance from Superman? We can only hope!
For me, that's an exciting start. Then we hear the words, "My son sacrificed his life to save me", which immediately sets the tone for the film - revenge, anger, hatred.
"These powers are not a gift, but a curse..." I think this will heavily feature as the theme, with the protagonist constantly torn between being a hero or a villain. You see him punching down a plane, with the pilot utilising his eject button to safety, so I expect him to cause lots of damage but without loss of human life.
Thankfully, the CGI looks great, especially the shot of Dwayne Johnson with bright, white electricity flowing outwards from his body, making him look really powerful.
Then we get to see Doctor Fate being recruited by Amanda Waller to take down Black Adam. The ruthless character clearly puts together a Task Force, like she does in Suicide Squad.
Doctor Fate, played by Pierce Brosnan, and others are seen flying out of an X-Men type headquarters with their plane emerging from underground, again similar to the X-Men where their plane emerges from the school's playground.
Doctor Fate's outfit with the golden helmet looks really cool, he will be the best Justice Society member.
Hawkman's suit looks awesome, especially the way it forms over his body, and his wings look really impressive. I already know he is going to get bashed up by Black Adam and the half-demon villain, Sabbac.
Then we get to see Atom Smasher for the first time, who looks awesome! I cannot wait to see him fight Black Adam, though he will lose.
I do not know much about Cyclone but she also looks cool and I'm keen to see her powerset.
Black Adam looks amazing in this film - the CGI, the suit, the casting and the development all looks amazing. The quotes are quality as well.
The trailer ends with Black Adam being advised on whether he could be the destroyer of this world, or it's saviour. These words are read aloud just after we see the half-demon Sabbac rising from the sea. The next shot of Black Adam shows him arriving on the scene as a hero.
I have already read that Suicide Squad's Amanda Waller, the ruthless founder of the Task Force X, will have a small part in the film, which could lead to spin-offs. Could the Task Force X be assigned to take down Black Adam?
But there is one thing I, and everyone else, wants to see, even if it is just as a post credits scene, and that is Henry Cavill returning as Superman. I think this could set up something bigger and better for the DCEU. I really want him to return, it's been too long now, and hopefully he will.
These are my thoughts on the latest trailer, but I am really hyped!
