She convinces both Teth-Adam and the Justice Society to work together and they head to the Al-Hadidah Mine in the desert, where Ishmael took her son.

She still needs his help to save her brother and try and get her son back. Adrianna had freed him from his prison, rather than a tomb. Another revelation: the Council of Wizards had imprisoned him after a rampage of revenge against the King. Meanwhile, Adrianna confronts Teth-Adam about his true identity. Ishmael has been working with Intergang the whole time. He shoots her brother and makes off with young Amon. While the Justice Society is trying to negotiate and stop him, we find out that Ishmael actually survived and is on his way to Adrianna’s house to try and find the Crown. This is a concept Teth-Adam struggles to understand. This is where he clashes with the Justice Society – a group against killing their enemies, and instead all about bringing them to justice. He’s also told of the wrongs that have been done by Intergang in his absence – so he sets out to vanquish them. Teth-Adam finds out the people of Kahndaq have been waiting for his return, and there’s a statue built of him. Of course, the Man in Black is from the comics, but it's also made into a nice nod to Eastwood here.

Amon comes up with 'Tell them the Man in Black sent you', which seems partly inspired by the movie that's playing in the apartment: they're watching The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, which features Clint Eastwood's The Man with No Name. Teth-Adam has woken up and is learning that 5,000 years have passed, as Amon whizzes him through what being a superhero means, including the need for a catchphrase. The plan is simple: get Teth-Adam to say 'Shazam', which will strip him of his powers, and then they can send him to a prison cell.

We get a quick introduction to their powers and then they’re on their way to Kahndaq. The group – comprised of Hawkman (Aldis Hodge), Atom Smasher (Noah Centineo), Cyclone (Quintessa Swindell), and Doctor Fate (Pierce Brosnan) – has been brought together by Viola Davis’ Amanda Waller to take him down. Adrianna takes him back to her house so he can recuperate as the news of his return reaches the Justice Society of America. He uses lightning, is seemingly invincible, can fly, is almost as quick as The Flash, and is incredibly strong.Īfter he decimates almost all of Intergang, he’s taken down by an Eternium rocket, which seems to be the only thing that can injure him (essentially his Kryptonite). His brutal entrance buys them just enough time to escape with the crown as we get to see the anti-hero’s powers in action – and they’re pretty epic. Adrianna finds the crown, but when her brother's life is threatened, she is forced to invoke 'Shazam', which brings Teth-Adam (Dwayne Johnson) back from where he was trapped. However, when they get there, they’ve been tracked by agents wanting the same thing. They’re on a mission to locate the Crown of Sabbac, which Adrianna thinks is the heart of a mountain. We meet Ishmael (Marwan Kenzari), Adrianna (Sarah Shahi), Karim (Mohammed Amer), and the young Amon (Bodhi Sabongui) – who’s been narrating the story so far. It seems this is Teth-Adam, but the young boy disappears and hasn’t been seen since.Ĭut to modern-day Kahndaq, which is under the rule of mercenaries called Intergang. He’s then saved at the last minute by the Council of Wizards who make him a God, granting him superpowers. The young boy uses a triangle hand gesture as a symbol to his people, becoming a martyr as the king orders his death. When one man mines some Eternium, he thinks he will be rewarded but is brutally killed, causing a young boy who witnesses the brutality to try and start a revolution – even after his father warns him against it. To achieve his aim, he enslaves his people. It’s ruled by the evil King Octo who is obsessed with becoming invincible and has set his sights on creating the Crown of Sabbac, but he needs to access Eternium to make it. Black Adam begins in the fictional kingdom of Kahndaq where, in 2600 BC, Teth-Adam (Dwayne Johnson) was born.
