Black Adam’s mystery villain gets finally revealed by a toy
The Rock’s upcoming superhero film Black Adam has kept its villain a secret for so long, it’s fitting that it would be revealed in a complete accident.
Although theDC Extended Universeis in a spot of turmoil at the moment thanks to the uncertainty of Ezra Miller and the Flash movie, Black Adam remains a strong potential tentpole. Headlined by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Black Adam is still shrouded in mystery with the movie’s villain still unannounced.
The movie is set to release in October 2022 but there has only beenone trailer released so far. Information about the movie’s plot was fairly scarce from this first trailer, meaning that fans still don’t have a good idea of what to expect going in.
But now, a huge piece of information has been revealed in quite an unexpected way.

Sabbac possesses the powers of several demons, including the “Invincible Strength of Satan” and “the Flame Powers of Beelzebub.” This makes Sabbac a formidable foe to the ultra-powerful Black Adam in this movie, but also opens up an interestingpotential connectionbetween this movie and Shazam! Fury of the Gods, which is slated to release two months after Black Adam.
