DCEU’s upcoming entry, Black Adam, features Dwayne Johnson as the titular supervillain and will showcase his origin story. The character is an adversary of Shazam portrayed by Zachary Levi in 2019’s Shazam and it is quite possible he makes a cameo in the film. Anyways some teasers like “world needs heroes” and the first trailer debuted some weeks ago and fans have been waiting for more such content. Well, what we have today is not for everyone and only the people who enjoy spoilers should proceed with this article. So, yes a spoiler warning is obviously in effect from the next section as it contains massive spoilers to the plot.
Black Adam Full Plot Leaked
The plot leak comes from 4chan and has been well received by the fans who are calling it one of the most legit sounding leaks. That aside, most of it can be confirmed from the trailers and well as the Black Adam merchandise release and leaks. Although, this came months ago, this is the right time to enjoy these leaks in case you aren’t caught up with them. So, here it goes.
The Opening
In ancient Kahndaq, the slave Teth-Adam (Dwayne Johnson) is chosen as the champion of the Council of Wizards. The corrupt Pharaoh murders Adam’s family, so Adam kills him in retaliation, claims the throne and decides to rule the world. The Council of Wizards tries to take away Adam’s power, but he massacres them before the wizard Shazam (Djimon Hounson) confines him in a magic amulet.
The Present Timeline
Kahndaq, freedom fighter Adrianna Tomaz (Sarah Shahi) accidentally frees Adam and he bonds with her and her son Amon (Bodhi Sabongui). The Pharaoh’s descendant Ishmael (Marwan Kenzari) controls Kahndaq and seeks the Crown of Sabbac, which will grant him the power to conquer the world. Adam sets out to liberate Kahndaq and then claim the world.
The Justice Society of America (JSA) vs Black Adam
Hawkman (Aldis Hodge), the reincarnation of Adam’s old friend Khufu, learns about Adam’s return and assembles a team of heroes to confront him. Hawkman once led the Justice Society of America, which disbanded during the Cold War, and has become disillusioned after the death of his wife. Doctor Fate (Pierce Brosnan) is an academic possessed by the spirit of an immortal wizard. Cyclone (Quintessa Swindell) is an idealist who can control the winds and the granddaughter of a founding member of the JSA. Atom-Smasher (Noah Centineo) is a troublemaker who can alter his size and strength and the grandson of one of the JSA’s greatest enemies.
The Ending
Ishmael kidnaps Amon and uses the Crown of Sabbac to become a powerful demon, forcing Adam to join forces with Hawkman and his team against him. During the battle, Adam imbues Adrianna with his power, transforming her into Isis. Adam liberates Kahndaq from oppression and, having learned compassion from Adrianna and Amon, reclaims the throne to lead his people to peace and prosperity as a benevolent ruler. Hawkman regains his faith in heroism and decides to rebuild the JSA to train a new generation of heroes.
Superman Cameo in Black Adam
Another good news is that a Superman cameo has also been leaked in the recent test screenings. As claimed by @TheComicxKid, and @MyTimeToShine, Superman once again as a headless/faceless/shadowy cameo in Black Adam. He has earlier appeared the same way in Shazam (2019), as well as Peacemaker (2022). That aside, Dwayne Johnson himself has been quite vocal about the subject and hinted at the cameo.
In a twitter post he tagged a Superman vs Black Adam fan demand and stated that if there’s one thing he’s learned it’s that always listen to fans. This drove many fans nuts as it is the closest you can get to a confirmation that this face off will soon happen. Here, check out his tweet yourself.
From back in the day when I was wrestling in flea markets for $40 bucks a match, all the way to now.
I’ve learned to always listen to the audience because they will always lead you to where you need to go.
I hear you & I always got you 👊🏾😉#BlackAdam @SevenBucksProd https://t.co/gqFlDwb8ud— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) July 1, 2022
