Movies that feel likeBlack Adam (2022)

Nearly 5,000 years after he was bestowed with the almighty powers of the Egyptian gods—and imprisoned just as quickly—Black Adam is freed from his earthly tomb, ready to unleash his unique form of justice on the modern world.

If you loved Black Adam, the closest films we have are Thunderbolts* (2025), The Fantastic 4: First Steps (2025) and Blue Beetle (2023). All three share Black Adam's kinetic and epic feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Superman (2025).
