Black Adam
The world needed a hero. It got Black Adam.
Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra
Produced by New Line Cinema, Flynn Picture Company
A high-octane superhero action film centered on an anti-hero wielding divine power, balancing spectacle with a morally ambiguous protagonist.
Nearly 5,000 years after he was bestowed with the almighty powers of the Egyptian gods—and imprisoned just as quickly—Black Adam is freed from his earthly tomb, ready to unleash his unique form of justice on the modern world.
