Black Adam Footage Description
Though it was the last pic in the program , Black Adam is the first one in theater , coming on October 21 , and what was screened felt like a likely mystifier trailer that may be released in the future . It begins with coke covered mass and a gamy technical school plane flying across them . A plane whose shape and crusade which reminded us of the Wakandan air vehicles in Black Panther . The sheet lands somewhere and a body in a see - through coffin is unloaded and filled with water , almost like a Bacta tank in The Empire Strikes Back . The voiceover explain this person was behave a striver , killed , and then reborn a God . ( There ’s also footage of him having his pharynx slit and throw into a pit . ) We see him in a cave with Brobdingnagian rock and then eventually , in a cloak with a bunch of men shooting machine triggerman at him . He tardily come up from the ground and the bullet all fly off .
Dr. Fate ( Pierce Brosnan ) explain to this man , who is obviously Dwayne Johnson ’s Black Adam , that he has the power to be a sub but he ’s choosing to be a undoer . “ I kneel before no one , ” Adam says . There are a bunch of quick dig , of some of the Justice Society of America phallus , Black Adam walking in his cloak with his super courtship on , him seeming to shoot lightning from his hands , and finally flying in the gentle wind and occupy down a eggbeater . He lands on a route in a desert , and a car almost hits him . The two hoi polloi in the cable car have no musical theme what they ’re look at and slowly embark on to get out of the railcar when someone fires a rocket , but Black Adam fascinate it . “ Did he just watch that rocket salad ? ” the number one wood involve as it explodes , but they ’re safe because Adam conduct most of the blow .
A few more shots of the Justice Society of America are follow by Adam standing toe to toe with Hawkman . “ Heroes do n’t obliterate people , ” Hawkman enjoin . To which Adam says , “ Well I do . ” The poke then ends with a guy trying to hit Adam on the head with a alloy bar , the bar bend on his head , and then Adam throws him .

On the one mitt , just from a visual viewpoint , the footage reminded us of Black Panther . The motion-picture photography — a similar balance of warm colours mixed and shiny applied science — as well as shot compositions , editing choices and ship designs , all feel like they were an influence from the Marvel strike . And yet , tonally , it ’s unvoiced to image what Black Adam is gon na be . Is Dwayne Johnson really going to become this character reference ? Or will it just be Johnson in a superhero cause ? We ’ll find out soon .
Shazam: Fury of the Gods Footage Description
A few weeks after Black Adam , the DC universe will go on with Shazam : Fury of the Gods on December 16 . This footage begin in Paris . At a restaurant overlooking the Eiffel Tower , Shazam is sitting at a restaurant and telling someone he does n’t want to be in a relationship with them . He ’s just not quick to consecrate . As the television camera draw out back we see the patent costume of Wonder Woman . She sustain up and storms off , but he stops her . He explain that he wants to be with her but it ’s a complex situation . He observe that their human relationship name could be She - Zam and finally caves and say he need to be with her , which is when she turn around . And it ’s Djimon Hounsou , almost lay over over where we require Gal Gadot ’s head to be . He tells Billy to come alive up !
Billy was stargaze , and now Hounsou ’s character explains that a war of the existence is about to start . A barrier has bust down and now immortal are crossing over , so he and his kinsfolk have to relieve the populace . Over all this , there ’s footage of Helen Mirren and Lucy Liu ’s character in God - same superhero suits as Hespera and Kalypso , respectively , just wreaking havoc .
Next , all the surrogate Kyd are hanging out at dwelling house , and begin getting ready to go out . The parents require where they ’re going and Darla says “ We ’re going to defend crime . ” The parents take it as a joke , but it ’s not . This is soon keep an eye on by a aspect of Shazam sitting with Hespera at what looks like the playground of a profligate food eating place . Shazam explains to her that he ’s see all the firm and Furious movies and that the key to saving the world is , he pauses , “ Family ! ” He looks around like something was supposed to happen . It does n’t . “ Family family family hail on that was supposed to be the signaling ” he says and , eventually , the A-one submarine sandwich version of his kinfolk does appear . There was tidy sum of footage of Billy ’s sib in the suits too but , to be fair — I was just a petty too mad by the wink to the fact Helen Mirren is in the Fast and Furious franchise .

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom Footage Description
March 2023 ’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom belike depict the least amount of footage of the four , but it was go with by director James Wan . Wan made it absolved that this film would explore Modern humanity , unveil young characters , and more . At the center of it all though , besides Aquaman of form , is Black Manta . In this film , Black Manta ( Yahya Abdul - Mateen II ) is a man on a commission . We saw him commanding some variety of advanced submarine ( with Randall Park ’s grapheme now working for him ) . He ’s in the full Manta suit and it looks like he ’s been infected with something .
Wan explained that much of the film will be about Aquaman , a.k.a . Arthur Curry ( Jason Momoa ) , asking his brother Orm ( Patrick Wislon ) , whom was captured at the end of the first movie , to help him defeat Black Manta . That ’s how powerful Manta has become : Arthur needs his evil brother to save the day . And so there are shots of the two of them at odds , walk through forest together , and more . We got a glimpse of some new ships , which sort of wait like the Sentinels from The Matrix , and a piece of pre - viz with Orm standing and what looks like the big robot from The Incredibles rising up from behind him .
Again , there was n’t a ton of footage from Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom , but you just get the sense that the scope it going to dwarf all of these other films .

The Flash Footage Description
Finally , we saw a short ton of new footage from The Flash , out June 23 , 2023 . Which , perhaps predictably after the news show of the retiring few weeks , focalise less on Ezra Miller ’s titulary character and more on another hero fans are frantic to see again : Batman . The footage begin with Barry in some sort of office and he ’s talking about how time has a form . Certain events and certain people are just always drawn to each other . He ’s at first talking to a tv camera but we also see him outside his puerility home , in a unexampled Flash outfit , looking sad .
Then , from behind , we see a man with long grey hairsbreadth in his pajamas . He ’s standing at a bookshelf when a laser reveals itself and does a retinal CAT scan . The book shelves part and we see a way with at least five , maybe more , Batsuits in it . Tim Burton Batsuits . All new and unlike .
“ How do you excuse that except … fate ? ” Barry says , finishing his thought about metre . That go into a montage of action scenes . good deal of slow - motion as Barry does things passing fast , a abbreviated shot of Supergirl ( Sasha Calle ) , a scene of Batman ( though which one is n’t clear ) on a Bat - Cycle that look like the Bat - Pod from The Dark Knight . It ’s not that wheel though , this one only has two wheel in front , both of which are very thin and close to each other . There ’s a upset Bat - cowl on the ground too , all of which leads to the shot we ’ve already seen of the multiple Barry ’s ask someone “ Are you in ? ”

reduce to Michael Keaton , with enceinte whisker , in a new , but still recognizable Batsuit . “ You wanna get loco ? have ’s get nuts , ” he says , quoting himself from a great many yr before .
The footage , while incredibly amazing , made it seem almost like Keaton ’s Batman was the 2nd jumper cable in the film . Which maybe he is . Or , maybe , this footage was cut specifically so that exhibitor at CinemaCon thought more about a new Batman movie in their theaters , and not an Ezra Miller picture . Either way , it ’s run short to be an interesting 10 calendar month before The Flash hit theatre .
Whew . That ’s a wad of footage ! Again , Black Adam will be in theater October 21 , Shazam 2 will be in theaters December 16 , Aquaman 2 will be out March 17 , 2023 and The Flash will be out June 23 , 2023 .
