Black Adam Post-Credits Scenes Explained! How Many Are They and What Do They Mean?
The new cinematographic bet of DC Comics reached the Chilean theaters. Black Adam promises to change the hierarchy of power that has been seen so far on screen, a promise that is based above all on the extra material. But how many post-credits scenes does the movie have and what do they mean? Here filmyhype.com going to tell what the post-credit scene means for the future of DC Universe. Nearly 5,000 years after being endowed with the omnipotent powers of the ancient gods—and imprisoned just as quickly—Black Adam (Dwayne Johnson) is released from his earthly tomb, ready to unleash his unique brand of justice on the modern world.
Aside from Johnson, the production’s cast also includes 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, Breakout Couple 3) as Adrianna, Marwan Kenzari (Murder on the Orient Express, The Mummy) as Ishmael, Quintessa Swindell (Hidden Instincts, Trinkets) as Cyclone, Bodhi Sabongui (A Million Little Things) as Amon, and Pierce Brosnan (Mamma Mia! and James Bond) as Dr. Fate. The delivery is an adventure of proportions and, as revealed this week, it will open the doors to a new narrative stage in the cinema for the characters of DC Comics.

Black Adam: Does it Have Post-Credits? How Many?
The new DC Comics movie has bonus material that, contrary to the trend at Marvel, is just ONE post-credits scene, albeit with implications of proportions.
To be more exact, this passage comes in the middle of the film’s credits, in circumstances where Teth Adam managed to prevent Sabacc from seizing the throne of Kahndaq and establishes himself as protector of the city, hinting at his new nickname. After the animated credits conclude, the scene opens with a drone entering what remains of Kahndaq’s throne room, to deliver present Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) holographically a message for Black Adam.
The following dialog is given:
– Okay, Black Adam. My name is Amanda Waller. Congratulations, you have my attention. This will be your only warning. If you don’t want to stay in my prison, that’s fine; Kahndaq is your prison now. If you set foot outside, you won’t live to regret it.
– There is no one on this planet who can stop me- answers Black Adam.
– I can collect a favor and send people who are not from this planet.
– Send them all.
– As you wish…
Then, Black Adam destroys the drone and out of the smoke from the explosion appears none other than Henry Cavill’s Superman, in the classic blue and red suit, with the logo of hope resplendent on his chest. “It’s been a while since anyone has made the world this nervous. Black Adam, we should talk,” says Superman, with a sketch of the character’s classic theme created by John Williams, as Dwayne Johnson’s character looks defiantly at him.
Black Adam Post-Credit Scene Explained: What Does The Post-Credits Scene Mean?
As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Superman as well as Cavill were not in the initial plans to appear as Black Adam. The idea came about during a round of reshoots of the film earlier this year pushed by Dwayne Johnson, but Walter Hamada, the executive who left his post at Warner Bros. on October 19 and had headed DC Films for the past four years, striving to take DC beyond the Zack Snyder era, he turned down the cameo.
It just so happens that Hamada had his plans for the character, one of them was to present a black Superman with a story spanning several decades written by writer Ta-Nehisi Coates, renowned for recently creating a lauded arc for Black Panther, loaded with racial and political implications. After Hamada said no, Johnson bypassed the executive and went straight to Warner Bros. Pictures bosses Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy, who gave him the go-ahead.
Thus, a furious round of negotiations ensued before Labor Day, a deadline Warner insisted on, and the scene was shot in mid-September. This is why they are talking about the great influence that Dwayne Johnson has in the future of the DC Comics adaptations so that the hierarchy of power would not only change on the screen but also outside of it.
Added to this is that in the middle of the premiere of Black Adam last Monday, The Rock intensely expressed his interest in continuing to be involved in the franchise and that he would love to help find someone who can head it, that is, a kind of reflection of what Kevin Feige does in Marvel. “We don’t want a bite of that apple, we want a new apple,” the actor also commented, when asked if he wanted to take away some of the success that the competition has.
