Black Adam 2 (2025) – The Return of Kahndaq’s Anti-Hero
Genre: Action | Fantasy | Superhero
Director: TBA
Starring: Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (expected), Aldis Hodge, Sarah Shahi, Pierce Brosnan (rumored)
Production: DC Studios (Warner Bros. Discovery)
Status: In development limbo / Not yet confirmed
Synopsis
After the explosive events of Black Adam (2022), the balance of power in the DC Universe was forever changed. Kahndaq has found its protector, but the world beyond still views Black Adam as a dangerous weapon — a god who walks among men.
In Black Adam 2, the story was expected to follow the aftermath of Teth-Adam’s rise to power, exploring his uneasy truce with the Justice Society and his struggle to define what kind of ruler — or savior — he truly is. As political forces and metahumans clash for control, a new enemy emerges from the depths of ancient magic, threatening not only Kahndaq but the entire world.
Faced with a power even greater than his own, Black Adam must choose between vengeance and responsibility — between his people’s freedom and the fate of mankind.
Behind the Scenes
Originally, Black Adam 2 was planned as a direct sequel to the 2022 blockbuster, with Dwayne Johnson returning in the titular role. However, following the leadership change at DC Studios — with James Gunn and Peter Safran taking over — the sequel was put on hold as part of the DC Universe reboot.
In late 2023, Dwayne Johnson confirmed that Black Adam would not appear in the first chapter of the new DCU, but hinted that “the door remains open for future storytelling within the multiverse.” As of 2025, no official release date or production schedule has been announced, though fans remain hopeful that the anti-hero will one day return.
Possible Direction
If revived, Black Adam 2 could explore new mythological and cosmic elements — expanding the story of the gods, the magic of Shazam, and the politics of the DC Universe. Many fans expect to see Black Adam facing off against characters like Superman or joining forces with the Justice League to confront a greater cosmic threat.
With Dwayne Johnson’s massive charisma and the visual grandeur established in the first film, Black Adam 2 has the potential to be a darker, more complex chapter — a story about power, redemption, and destiny.
Conclusion
While Black Adam 2 (2025) has not yet been officially green-lit, it remains one of the most discussed “what-if” projects in modern superhero cinema. The first film introduced audiences to one of DC’s most powerful anti-heroes, and fans continue to demand his return.
Whether within the new DC Universe or as part of a multiverse storyline, one thing is certain — the Man in Black’s story isn’t over yet.
Mercedes-Maybach S680 S-Class Quietly Revealed With V12 Engine
The absolute flagship makes a discreet entry.
Update: Mercedes-Maybach has officially issued a press release revealing details of the new S680 for the US market. We have that information featured below in our debut article.
The Mercedes-AMG S65 might be dead, but one-percenters mustn’t fret as its V12 will live on in the ultra-posh Maybach version. The Bentley W12-rivaling sedan was originally announced last year in the lead-up to the world premiere of the normal Benz S-Class, and following a teaser last month, the twelve-cylinder luxury cocoon is finally here.
Oddly enough, the car is making a rather quiet appearance on Daimler’s media site as the adjacent official images were not immediately accompanied by a press release. The extra-long luxobarge adopts the same stylish two-tone paint and an abundance of chrome as the V8 model unveiled in November 2020, but with more elegant multi-spoke wheels.
