A newBlack Adamtrailer was released at San Diego Comic-Con, and the latest preview from Dwayne Johnson revealed that Viola Davis will reprise her role as Amanda Waller fromThe Suicide Squad.
Black Adamwill center on Johnson’s Teth-Adam, an anti-hero who was bestowed with the powers of gods only to be imprisoned for 5,000 years. However, once Black Adam is freed, he prepares to unleash his powers onto the world and bring his own brand of justice, which brings him into conflict withthe Justice Society of America.

During Warner Bros.' Hall H panel at San Diego Comic-Con, Johnson and members of theBlack Adamcast and crew arrived to discuss the film. As to be expected, a newBlack Adamtrailer was released for the crowd, and the footage confirmed thatDavis' Amanda Waller will appearin the film, though details on what role she will play in the story remain unknown. However, the footage seemingly shows Waller at the Justice Society’s base. While this trailer does not appear to have been released to the public at this time, another preview was shared online that focuses on Black Adam’s war against the JSA, concluding with footage of him fighting Hawman and wasting no time by using his electric powers against the hero.
Henry Cavill was rumored to appear at Comic-Con, but this did not appear to be true, as theMan of Steelactor was notably absent from the Hall H panel for Warner Bros. Still, the hero still came up during the conversation when a fan asked Johnson if he felt Black Adam could beat Superman in a fight. “Depends who plays Superman, Johnson said in response. Another humorous moment occurred when Aldis Hodge revealed that he nearly lost the role of Hawkman because when he received the phone call letting him know he landed the part, Hodge didn’t believe that was really Johnson on the other end of the line.
As far as fans know,Black Adamwill primarily consist of new DC characters, so to see Amanda Waller appear will likely excite fans given that she is a central figure inThe Suicide Squad. After all, if Waller can appear, then perhaps fans one day will get to see theirBlack Adam and Superman fighton the big screen.
Black Adamis scheduled to release in theaters on May 13, 2025.
