I doubt it's true but it'd be a genius move. Literally just make a terrible trailer and then release the actual footage months late. 

Possible hai.. Just look at that previous design it looks so bad and ugly and model doesn't even look like it was all that polished..

Anyhow this looks much much better.. I kinda enjoyed the trailer.

Kojima wouldn't need a reworked design.. He would have gotten away with a bad design aswell.. People would have been screaming thats better thn original..

Black Adam isn't an out an out villain like Thanos. Many storylines has him working with good guys. He just wants his people left alone. Kinda like Namor. Just more villainous. I don't think Rock has the ability to pull off a villain. They should have cast some better actor.

Then I guess the animations were wrong. I actually see him as a pure evil person.

Rock is perfect physique wise, lets see how he performs negative role. I think he will pull off.

Doctor Sleep was excellent. I went in without expectation not even knowing the genre of the film as a last minute plan and came out overwhelmingly surprised. 

Some of the scenes were absolutely impactful on Dolby Atmos. 

 

Terminator Dark fate was dissapointing. Hope this buries the franchise. People of this generation are so close to judgement day that the core concept of the franchise has become irrelevant.

Had to get the book on having heard that it has a much different and darker portrayal of him than in my favourite movie of the kind.

In that way even Dr. Doom isn’t a villain. A lot of supervillains turns ally for the heroes. Black Adam is not superhero at all. You may call him an anti-hero who has done a few team-ups for greater good. I can’t say what they have done in modern comic (post-2010), but going by earlier storylines he has categorically been a supervillain.

@Aercy Maybe this is Black Adam's origin story? In the comics Black Adam started out as a hero, and he was a hero for a very long time. He only became an anti-hero/villain later on due to a combination of factors both involving the wizard Shazam and other villains who were out to corrupt him and created circumstances where he had to fall.

Note true; in the origin (ancient Egypt days) story Black Adam after getting his powers, killed the tyrant/pharaoh ruling his homeland and took the throne for himself. He was banished by the wizard away from earth and eventually returned to earth 5,000 years later seeking revenge.

From Shazam Wiki:

 

Circa 1200 BC, Shazam became a high priest to the pharaoh Ramses II of Egypt. As the wizard grew older, he sought a champion worthy to inherit his powers. The young prince Teth-Adam of Kahndaq (Ramses' son) impressed the wizard with his fairness and decency. But before Shazam could bestow his powers, his daughter Blaze made a deal with the god Set. When Teth-Adam spoke the name "Shazam," instead of gaining the wizard's powers, he was blessed with the power of six Egyptian gods: Shu, Heru, Amon, Zehuti, Aton and Mehen. Thus, though Adam speaks the name "Shazam," he does not draw power from the wizard. Teth-Adam served Egypt for many years, but this duty drew him away from his wife and children in Kahndaq. While he was away, the mad priest, Ahk-ton ravaged Kahndaq and killed Adam's family. The priest was powered by the "Orb of Ra". Adam could not apprehend Ahk-ton, so he entombed his family and returned to the court of Ramses. There he served as Egypt's champion alongside another great wizard, Nabu. Mighty-Adam was a success as a hero for Egypt, but his service kept him away from his wife, Shiruta, and his sons Gon and Hurut.

 

Adam's homeland was destroyed and his family killed by the evil priest Ahk-ton using the Orb of Ra. A disparaged Adam continued to serve in Rameses' court, and allied himself with Prince Khufu (later Hawkman). At this time, he met three travelers from the future: Hawkgirl, Mr. Terrific, and Captain Marvel. Adam felt relieved that his legacy would continue through Marvel, and thought highly of his future counterpart. With the help of these visitors and the wizard Nabu, Adam was able to capture Ahk-ton, whom he killed as retribution for murdering Adam's family.

 

Adam returned to Khandaq and forcefully overthrew the government present there, and appointed himself ruler. The wizard Shazam was made aware of all of these events and, thinking Adam had been corrupted by Blaze, unleashed a powerful spell. He trapped Adam's soul and powers within a powerful scarab rendering Adam's de-powered body, now several hundred years old, into a withered corpse. Shazam then buried both the body and the scarab in the tomb of Rameses II, where he had planned for it to remain for all eternity. In death, the former hero was referred to as "Khem-Adam" ("Black Adam"). Disillusioned by what he perceived as Adam's betrayal, Shazam went several millennia before appointing a second champion to fight evil in his name

Black Adam did serve Ancient Egypt heroically for a long time. It was only the actions of certain villains, death of his family while he was busy saving someone else elsewhere and the wizard Shazam mistaking him corrupted - that led to him being corrupted in reality and becoming the villain "Black Adam"

This is not the original story but a add-on/revisit much later. Found a video that may shed some light to the original story,
