After having its released date shuffled a few times, Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam is finally here, the latest movie based on DC comics. Superhero movies continue to be must-sees and we’ve got you covered on when and where you can watch Black Adam.
This is actually the second DC comics-based movie that Johnson stars in this year, with him lending his voice for the animated movie DC League of Super-Pets. But if you actually want to see the actor sometimes still known as "The Rock" display his charms and talent in the flesh, then Black Adam gives you that opportunity.
Here is what you need to know about how to watch Black Adam.
Black Adam streaming release date
For those that have been waiting to watch Black Adam from the comfort of their home, we have some great news. As of December 16, the film became available to stream for HBO Max subscribers in the US.
Would-be viewers in the UK can turn to the Sky Store to rent the film.
Black Adam movie theater release date
Black Adam was released exclusively in movie theaters worldwide on Friday, October 21.
We’re less certain about where it’s going to stream outside of the US where HBO Max is not available, like the UK. But again, when we know something we’ll share it here.
A digital on-demand release is also likely to come before a streaming debut, but again, no details are available at this time.
What else you need to know about Black Adam
Black Adam has been a passion project for Dwayne Johnson for years. The character, whose only equal in DC comics may be Superman, is more of an anti-hero and even sometimes villain. This movie is his origin story in the DCEU, seeing him awake from a 5,000 year slumber and coming face-to-face with the Justice Society of America who want to learn what exactly his intentions are — to be a hero or a conqueror.
What to Watch’s Black Adam review said the movie has entertaining moments, but also struggles with some of the execution of the story. But the best way to judge is to go see it for yourself.
