In Black Adam V Superman: Dawn of Justice 2 (2025), the trailer promises an epic showdown between two of DC’s most powerful figures, Henry Cavill as Superman and Dwayne Johnson as Black Adam. Following the climactic events of the first film, tensions have escalated to a breaking point between the Justice League and Black Adam. The trailer opens with a haunting voiceover from Amanda Waller (Viola Davis), stating, “The world doesn’t need gods, it needs order.” This sets the tone for the impending conflict as governments around the world begin to fear the unchecked power of metahumans.
We get glimpses of Superman, now reinstated as Earth’s protector, struggling with his role and the potential threat Black Adam poses. The trailer cuts to Black Adam, ruling over Kahndaq, where he declares that no one, not even Superman, will control him. The ominous tone is set as Black Adam seeks to establish his own version of justice, clashing with the Justice League’s ideals.
Key moments in the trailer showcase epic battles: Superman is seen flying towards Kahndaq, ready to confront Black Adam, while Black Adam unleashes his full powers, summoning lightning and decimating his enemies with ease. In one breathtaking scene, Superman and Black Adam collide mid-air in a cataclysmic clash, the force of their blows sending shockwaves across the desert.
The trailer also introduces new characters, with Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) and Shazam (Zachary Levi) making brief but crucial appearances, hinting at a larger conflict involving the gods and the world of magic. However, the true surprise comes in the final moments of the trailer, where Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) is revealed to be manipulating events behind the scenes, setting up the ultimate showdown between not just two heroes, but an entire war of metahumans.
