From New Line Cinema, Dwayne Johnson stars in the action adventure Black Adam. The first-ever feature film to explore the story of the DC Super Hero comes to the big screen under the direction of Jaume Collet-Serra ( Jungle Cruise).

In ancient Kahndaq, Teth Adam was bestowed the almighty powers of the gods. After using these powers for vengeance, he was imprisoned, becoming Black Adam. Nearly 5,000 years have passed and Black Adam has gone from man, to myth, to legend. Now released, his unique form of justice, born out of rage, is challenged by modern-day heroes who form the Justice Society: Hawkman, Dr Fate, Atom Smasher and Cyclone.

Johnson stars alongside Aldis Hodge ( City on a Hill, One Night in Miami) as Hawkman, Noah Centineo ( To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before) as Atom Smasher, Sarah Shahi ( Sex/Life, Rush Hour 3) as Adrianna, Marwan Kenzari ( Murder on the Orient Express, The Mummy), Quintessa Swindell ( Voyagers, Trinkets) as Cyclone, Mo Amer ( Mo, Ramy), Bodhi Sabongui ( A Million Little Things), and Pierce Brosnan (the Mamma Mia! and James Bond franchises) as Dr Fate.

Collet-Serra directed from a screenplay written by Adam Sztykiel, Rory Haines and Sohrab Noshirvani, based on characters from DC, based on characters created by Bill Parker and C.C. Beck. The film’s producers are Beau Flynn, Dwayne Johnson, Hiram Garcia and Dany Garcia, with Walter Hamada, Adam Schlagman, Richard Brener, Dave Neustadter, Chris Pan, Eric McLeod, Geoff Johns and Scott Sheldon executive producing.

The director’s behind-the-scenes creative team includes Oscar-nominated director of photography Lawrence Sher ( Joker), production designer Tom Meyer ( Real Steel), editors Mike Sale ( Red Notice, Skyscraper) and John Lee ( Anyone Home?), costume designers Kurt and Bart ( Deadpool 2, The Hunger Games: MockingjayPart 1 and 2), Oscar-winning visual effects supervisor Bill Westenhofer ( Life of Pi, Wonder Woman), and composer Lorne Balfe ( Black Widow).

OPENING FRIDAY

PREY FOR THE DEVIL

The war between good and evil

Sister Ann (Jacqueline Byers) believes she is answering a calling to be the first female exorcist … but who, or what, called her? In response to a global rise in demonic possessions, Ann seeks out a place at an exorcism school reopened by the Catholic Church. Until now these schools have only trained priests in the Rite of Exorcism – but a professor (Colin Salmon) recognises Sister Ann’s gifts and agrees to train her.

Thrust on to the spiritual front line with fellow student Father Dante (Christian Navarro), Sister Ann finds herself in a battle for the soul of a young girl, who Sister Ann believes is possessed by the same demon that tormented her own mother years ago. Determined to root out the evil, Ann soon realises the devil has her right where he wants her.
