Hey everybody.

We are the cast, the one and only cast of Black Adam.

I am Black Adam.

This is the JSA.

We're gonna talk some fan theories,

but just a warning,

there's a little bit of spoilers going on here.

So just be ready.

[dramatic suspenseful music]

[intense whirring]

Black Adam.

[Hawkman] We're here to negotiate your peaceful surrender.

I'm not peaceful.

[dramatic music]

Nor do I surrender.

[dramatic music]

Here we go.

All right, here we go.

Let's get into some of these theories.

[Noah] Wooh!

So Spooky Mase says,

what if Black Adam kills the JSA,

then a bigger evil arrives,

but with nobody left to fight it?

He's the one who has to step up.

That's my theory based on the poster tagline alone.*

Who wants to tackle that one?

Convoluted really,

I don't like that. First of all, kills the JSA?

What? You think we could be killed?

[Quintessa] Why?

The disrespect!

[Quintessa] Why? We just got introduced.

Come on Spooky Mase.

I mean he might hurt us a little bit.

All right, next up.

Jonathan Skelback says,

So here's my theory.

There's an A plot and a B plot.

Right.

A plot is the Black Adam stuff with Isis in the past.

B plot is the Hawks looking for artifacts

about the Khandaq.

Doctor Fate is the lynchpin between them.

Ooh. Oh, yeah.

[Noah] What is that?

There is an A plot and a B plot.

I think we might have to fill out

these plots a little bit.

I think so.

Plot on plot on plot.

It's crazy because he got it.

That is the movie.

It's the exact plot of the movie.

That's exactly it. I was tryna avoid

sayin' that,

but you know you're right, he got it.

Exactly. Boom.

Oh my bad. He said spoiler alerts.

That's the whole movie right there.

Rorschach Journal. Okay, I have a crazy theory.

Hear me out, in Black Adam, I believe

he's going to kill off JSA

and choose to become a villain leading to Shazam!

getting involved!

Hold up.

[Quintessa] Why again?

Why everybody want the JSA to die?

What did we do?

The violence.

We just got here.

Yeah, really.

Let's be clear. The JSA predated

the Justice League for all you guys out there.

Yeah.

First ever superhero group,

so can't kill 'em off.

Can't kill 'em off immediately.

I mean, Doctor Fate,

Come on.

[dramatic music]

[Hawkman] Heroes don't kill people.

Well, I do.

Theory.

It better not say nothing about us dyin'.

I swear, I swear,

got one more time. Oh wow.

This one's not that bad.

What's that called?

The two dots.

Colon.

Colon.

You know about that, right?

Just I'm glad you jumped on that.

My favorite word, go ahead.

Hashtag Black Adam

will wear the helmet of Doctor Fate

in Black Adam.

Whoa.

And you can notice the suit is

of the Black Adam under the golden details.

I will say, out of all the ones we read,

that one, you could tell that person

has kind of really looked deep at that costume.

So, hey, that makes sense.

They probably like took a picture of

freeze frame, zoomed in.

Zoomed in.

Did some cryptography, just, you know.

Super computer breaking it down pixel by pixel.

I won't be surprised if we find

that floating out in the ether somewhere.

[Amanda] He's been asleep for 5,000 years.

[engine whirring]

[Hawkman] You find us a cell that can hold him.

We'll take care of the rest.

I have the next one.

So theory, Black Adam will appear in

Shazam: Fury of the Gods.

Hear me out.

So, I think that in the ending of Black Adam,

Black Adam might hear that a new champion

has taken the mantle of Shazam.

And he wants to hunt and kill Billy Batson

to regain his title as champion.

We might see it on Shazam: Fury of the Gods.

Interesting.

So, hear me out.

Absolutely not.

What I'm getting from this is

that a lot of people want Black Adam just

be killing a whole lot of people.

Primarily the JSA.

They want the JSA gone and Black Adam

killing people.

I'm feeling a certain kind of way right now.

I am so sorry.

I'm just saying who, who,

who screened these questions?

Did y'all know this?

Y'all messing with my emotional stability right now.

[intense explosion]

Here we go.

Ben M. Davies, #BlackLivesMatter.

Pretty cool.

My theory is that Sabbac will be the

villain that they fight and Black Adam

kills; then it's Black Adam versus

Dr. Fate in the final act with the JSA

taking either ones side, respectively.

Wow.

That's cool.

That is cool.

That's a good one, that's a good one.

Yeah. That's actually -

[Group] phrased it poorly

Dr. Fate will be the antagonist to Black Adam.

It's kind of cool though, man.

[Quintessa] That's cool.

You know what? That's well thought out.

You know, I'm not mad at that.

Could be in the movie, could be in the movie.

Good idea, Dr. Fate could be the antagonist, that is dark.

Is that what Dr. Fate alludes to?

Does Dr. Fate know this?

Is that why we got...

Of course he knows this.

Is Doctor Fate taking their side?

It's the elaborate plan.

That's why I said yes to this job.

You know what? You right.

No put the smack down on him.

[laughter]

Oh, this is interesting.

Lex Luther sent the guys who woke up Black Adam *

because Lex believes Adam can kill Superman.

[All] Ooooh!

Fire.

Yo, that's a good one right there.

That's a good one, man.

I feel like this person is secretly a writer at WB.

Two outta five.

That's uh.

Okay so #BlackAdamfantheory.

This film is actually the one to reset the timeline

due to Dr. Fate and his magic and not The Flash.

That's fire.

Oooh...

That's really cool.

That could be cool.

Why you writing the questions, bro?

I'm not writing 'em man, That's kinda solid,

that's kinda solid.

That was Noah.

That was Noah.

But it does give us an indication I think

of just how powerful -

How do I, Dr. Fate is-

How do I pronounce this - M J Oker?

Cause he can't do that.

#PantherTribe, all right.

I'm hoping Black Adam ends

with Amanda trying to recruit Black Adam

with Deathstroke already on board as well as new villains

we can anticipate with the concept that she wants to go

after the Justice League more so Superman.

Everybody wants you to whoop Superman

and everybody want the JSA to fight Justice League.

What is going on?

Well that, that's interesting.

Let's talk about that for a sec.

Yeah, that's cool...

Let's talk about it.

Yeah. What would happen if JSA

came across Justice League and

you had to rock and roll?

You already know what's gonna happen.

I already know, but I wanna hear it.

[Quintessa] Our team our team isn't - *

♪ It's a rum-ble, heh heh ♪

The team isn't even fully built out yet.

Exactly, so first we have so many more other characters

to explore from JSA, JSA Original, JSA No.

Mhm

Dr. Fate is nearly God level power.

Who's standing up against Dr. Fate?

I don't know, who's on your level?

I'm just saying...

Well, what if Batman showed up?

He's all, he's all, he's all gadgets -

He's gonna take little things.

He's on gadgets- Gonna be like this

[stomps loudly]

Like he's gonna shoot his little grapple,

you know what I mean?

He's going to get his car.

But you know, hey-

I'm just starting shit. All it takes is a couple-

A couple of whips-

Just starting shit, that's it.

Yes. From Cyclone be like this.

This [air whooshing]

Easy.

Send his car flying. Come on.

you know what I'm saying?

Adam's smash is gonna catch him midair, boom,

put him in his pocket, twink,

and you know we're good to go.

Boom.

That's the movie.

Just sayin' -

There you go.

That's the movie.

Put him in my pocket, trip, I fall.

I land on you in my pocket.

Oh, did I do that?

Ohhhh.

[Aldis] Oh no.

I take it out, you're squished,

whoops, I dropped you on the ground

but you fell a hundred feet.

Oh no, your cape couldn't help you either, oh no --

It's a good thing we didn't write the movie.

By the way...

It's a good thing.

I have huge respect for Batman,

I was a Batman fan.

Of course.

But I'm just saying, standing up against the JSA

nah, that's not.

It doesn't, it doesn't feel right.

Don't feel right.

No, no.

I mean, we should start a poll.

If I saw a poll I'm just saying,

I feel like it's gonna be a hundred percent JSA's

Girl, Justice League- You gotta-

Just sayin' You gotta respect

Mamoa, though.

That would be a little scary.

Ooh.

I respect-

That's a big dude-

I got, I got no hatred.

I got all love for Mamoa,

all love for Aquaman.

But I'm just sayin'.

Tell me Hawkman.

I'm sayin'.

Tell me, say it!

[laughter] Say it, say it.

Ima fight you in the air, bro.

Yeah.

There's no water in the air bro.

[cheering]

Say it.

There's no water in the air.

Even if it starts raining, you can't save yourself.

Come on, preach.

That's all I'm saying.

That's all I'm saying so,

if y'all wanna see it, I'm with it.

I'm here all day.

We just gonna have to prove

to y'all what y'all already know is true.

[Quintessa] Right?

JSA got this.

Here you go.

Fired up, Hawkie, got us fired up.

Like a hawk, just picking up a fish under the ocean-

You said it, I didn't, but you know.

[loud crash]

[Voiceover] You didn't come here to seek justice.

[whooshing loudly]

You came to exact revenge.

The movie ends with a battle

between Black Adam and Superman's arch-nemesis, Mister...

How do you say that?

Mxyzptik, played by Kevin Hart.

[sharp inhalation]

[Quintessa] I'd say it's a gamble.

Let's talk about that for a second.

There you go, whoa buddy.

What do you think?

So man, what you sayin' is that I gotta put on a cape.

I gotta put on some tights and some stockings, man.

Kevin

Kevin Kevin, please.

And basically --

Oh, Kevin, calm down, you're getting upset again.

Basically, man, There you go.

What I'm saying is.

See, I'm not even gonna fight you face to face.

I'm gonna go at your ankles.

You know what I'm saying?

Taking it at the to ankles.

Wow. Wow. Wow.

Take you out at the knees.

Why so angry?

That's a hell of a theory.

Boom. Yep.

It's a theory.

[suspenseful music]

[dramatic music]

Okay everyone,

thank you so much for your fan theories.

Some of 'em were on,

Some of them were not...

Enjoy Black Adam,

You're gonna love it.

October 21st.

It's a feast of a movie.
