Black Adam 2 (2025) picks up where the first film left off, with Teth-Adam (Dwayne Johnson), now firmly established as the ruler of Kahndaq. Despite his tyrannical methods, he’s seen as a protector by his people, but the world continues to view him as a dangerous force that must be stopped. The Justice Society, who once fought him, now face a dilemma—can they trust this former villain to keep the peace, or do they risk war by intervening in his affairs?
The balance of power shifts when a mysterious ancient artifact is uncovered deep beneath Kahndaq, one with the ability to manipulate time and reality. This artifact is linked to the gods that granted Black Adam his powers, but it holds darker secrets. The reappearance of these gods draws the attention of Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), who arrives in Kahndaq to warn Adam of the consequences of wielding such power recklessly.
Tensions rise between the two as Wonder Woman seeks to protect the world from the threat the artifact represents, while Black Adam sees it as his rightful tool to secure his kingdom’s dominance. The looming conflict between the two powerful figures is further complicated by the return of Sabbac, who has been resurrected by the gods to claim the artifact for himself. His plan? To reshape the world in fire and chaos.
With time running out, Black Adam is forced into an uneasy alliance with Wonder Woman and the Justice Society to prevent global destruction. But with the gods’ involvement, allegiances blur, and the line between hero and villain is tested. In the end, Black Adam must decide if he will continue to walk the path of a ruler or embrace his destiny as a true hero.
