The upcoming DC anti-hero film, starring Dwayne Johnson, opens October 21.

If anything, it feels like it could be a post credits scene that’s left ambiguous, much like the one at the end of the first Shazam. Certainly more action and effects than the first trailer from a few weeks back. Black Adam is DC’s next big superhero release so there was no way a star as big and connected to his fans as Dwayne Johnson was not going to show up at San Diego Comic-Con and bring something special.

Box Office: Dwayne Johnson's 'Black Adam' Will Be The First ... (Forbes)

In a scenario that is neither “thing good” or “thing bad,” DC' big SDCC panel was entirely about the two upcoming New Line Cinema-specific DC flicks opening ...

However, it’ll be the first of its kind since July. Dwayne Johnson is a star in the right package. Shazam: Fury of the Gods got a big trailer A) because it’s opening this Christmas and B) DC League of Super-Pets is an ideal spot for a theatrical placement for a theatrical trailer. That specific cause is why offhand, we’re not seeing Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse until next summer, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom until next March and even Puss In Boots: The Last Wish until this December. By default, Black Adam, a Black Adam origin story and a backdoor pilot for further adventures featuring the Justice Society of America, will be the first “big” four-quadrant, family-friendly live-action tentpole since Thor: Love and Thunder in early July. It will be the first non-R-rated mega-movie in 3.5 months. This could be a massive advantage for Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam when it opens on October 21. Black Adam got a panel because A) it’s their next movie and B) Dwayne Johnson cannot be denied. In a scenario that is neither “thing good” or “thing bad,” DC’ big SDCC panel was entirely about the two upcoming New Line Cinema-specific DC flicks opening in 2022.
