Fans will not see it.The reportedly $70 million movie (the source said the budget was actually more than $100 million), which was doing test screenings for audiences in anticipation of a late 2022 debut, would rank among the most expensive cinematic castoffs ever.  Those tests were said to be so poorly received by moviegoers that the studio decided to cut its losses and run, for the sake of the brand’s future.

The film will debut in movie theaters in October.“It has been a long journey, one that has been fueled with passion, with commitment, with grit,” Johnson said.Director Jaume Collet-Serra, who worked with Johnson on last year’s action-adventure film “Jungle Cruise,” described Black Adam as a “Dirty Harry type of character” who has “his own sense of justice and mortality.”“When the system is corrupt, sometimes you need somebody that breaks the system down,” Collet-Serra said.The film also will introduce the Justice Society of America, which includes the characters Hawkman (Aldis Hodge), Atom Smasher (Noah Centineo), Cyclone (Quintessa Swindell) and Dr.
