The battle for Earth’s future begins now. The first official trailer for Black Adam V Superman has just been released, and it promises an all-out, high-stakes showdown between two of the most powerful beings on Earth: Black Adam (played by Dwayne Johnson) and Superman (played by Henry Cavill). The film explores a conflict between ideologies, power, and control, as these two heroes (or anti-heroes) find themselves on opposing sides of a world-threatening crisis.
Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra (Jungle Cruise, The Shallows), Black Adam V Superman brings the DC Universe to new heights, setting the stage for a face-off between the dark, ruthless Black Adam, an ancient antihero from Kahndaq, and the legendary Superman, the symbol of hope and justice. When a new, global threat arises—one too powerful for either of them to handle alone—Black Adam and Superman must choose whether to fight together or face each other in a destructive battle that could reshape the world.
The teaser opens with Black Adam (Johnson) standing on top of a crumbling city, his eyes glowing with power. The camera slowly zooms in on his face as his voice rings out with chilling confidence: “I’ve been here for centuries. You’re just a man. I am the one who decides what happens next.”
