Superhero fans, it’s time for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to join the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). Black Adam just came out on October 21, and it’s already proven to be a massive hit at the box office. This makes sense due to its well-rounded cast and a storyline fans have been desperate to see play out on-screen for years.
The movie follows Teth-Adam (Dwayne Johnson), a man who was given god-like powers by tyrannical king Kahndaq (Marwan Kenzari) in order to become his fearless champion. But he eventually used them in vengeance, causing him to be imprisoned for 5,000 years. Now that Teth-Adam is free, his pent-up rage has him seeking out a new form of justice in the world. Still, there’s one thing he doesn’t plan on: being challenged by members of the modern-day Justice League — Dr. Fate (Pierce Brosnan), Hawkman (Aldis Hodge), Atom Smasher (Noah Centineo) and Cyclone (Quintessa Swindell).
So, how can you catch all this action? We’ve done some digging about where you can watch stream Black Adam at home. Here are the important details you need to know about watching Black Adam online:
Where to watch and stream Black Adam online:
At the moment, you can only watch Black Adam at the movie theater. It won’t be for long though, because the film is expected to hit a streaming site very soon.
Black Adam is currently part of the DC Comics movie franchise, meaning it is being distributed by parent company Warner Bros. Pictures. Until the end of 2022, the production studio has a deal with HBO Max that allows the streamer to have all the titles live on its site 46 days after it debuts in cinemas. Moviegoers have seen this play out earlier this year, with The Batman moving to HBO Max on April 18 after its March 4 release date.
If this strategy continues to play out for the rest of the year, fans can expect to watch and stream Black Adam on HBO Max sometime around December 5.
As for how to subscribe to HBO Max, you’ll need to create an account first. Viewers can opt into multiple plans which start at $9.99 per month or $69.99 for the first year. Once you’ve done that, you can head to the official movie page on HBO Max’s website or download it on the HBO Max app.
In the meantime, why don’t you take a look at some of the other titles from DC Comics? It may help you get a better sense of what to expect, especially as Black Adam features a surprise cameo from a beloved superhero of movies past …
