I’m finding recently studios are so afraid of giving anything away that trailers are just highlight reels of action shots

The Rock seemed flat as Black Adam to some fans
Starring Dwayne Johnson, a professional wrestler-and-Hollywood superstar as the powerful anti-hero seemed a little bland for the audience to digest on screen. Earlier Johnson was supposed to enter the DC universe as Black Adam in 2019’s Shazam. But his role, however, was scrapped when the spinoff for his character was greenlit for a solo Black Adam movie.

Seems like fans did not like the Black Adam music as well
The music choice for Black Adam trailer feels like they're trying too hard to go for a Black Panther/Miles Morales Vibe but it doesn't match the character. The Marketing execs at @WBHomeEnt must have saw the word Black and said Put some "Ethnic rap music in it" they'll love it pic.twitter.com/fAIXo2dl4z
