Black Adam Release and Streaming Details: The highly anticipated superhero debut is almost upon us.
- Black Adam had its world premiere in Mexico City on October 3, 2022.
- There is no update on its streaming date yet.
Despite Marvel’s dominance over the years in the superhero movie genre, DC has been trying hard to compete with them. Their best shot is coming this week with Dwayne Johnson taking up the role of the anti-hero Black Adam. The highly anticipated superhero debut is almost upon us and needless to say that DC fans are super excited. As the release date is coming closer, here is a guide on how to watch Black Adam.
When is Black Adam Releasing?
Black Adam had its world premiere in Mexico City on October 3, 2022. It opened to mixed reviews from critics. Black Adam would release on October 21, 2022, to a worldwide audience, exactly 3 weeks before the Marvel biggie Black Panther: Wakanda Forever arrives in theatres. So, the Dwayne Johnson starrer has a good three weeks’ time to make the most of it at the box office.
The anticipation to see one of the greatest DC superheroes is high. The tickets are selling fast and the trade experts are expecting Black Adam to take a huge opening. You can check the film’s official website to see showtimes for Black Adam near you.
Black Adam Streaming
As on Oct 20, 2022, Black Adam is currently unavailable to stream online. In fact, there hasn’t been any official announcement regarding its streaming. However, considering it’s a Warner Bros. movie, it would eventually land on HBO Max.
While WB’s 2022 movies like The Batman and Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore landed on the platform 45 days after they hit big screens, the studio is no more following this strategy. So, it is difficult to predict the exact streaming date for Black Adam.
Warner’s two latest releases came to HBO Max 70 days (Elvis) and 59 days (DC League of Super-Pets) after their theatrical releases. So, at the earliest, Black Adam will arrive on HBO Max in late December.
What’s Black Adam About?
The official synopsis for Black Adam reads:
“Nearly 5,000 years after he was bestowed with the almighty powers of the Egyptian gods-and imprisoned just as quickly-Black Adam (Johnson) is freed from his earthly tomb, ready to unleash his unique form of justice on the modern world.”
Is There A Trailer?
DC has released two trailers. You can watch them here:
Both trailers suggest that Black Adam is going to the dark much like DC’s earlier movies and unlike Marvel’s superhero movies.
