A new look at the likely main villain for Black Adam has been revealed through the film's tie-in merchandise. Black Adam is set to open in theaters on October 21, 2022, and will feature Dwayne Johnson as the titular anti-hero. The film released its first trailer earlier this month to a very positive reception. In fact, the response was so favorable that Johnson even reacted on social media to show his appreciation for all the excitement over the Black Adam trailer.
The preview naturally focused on the titular character, but also highlighted the Justice Society members Doctor Fate, Hawkman, Atom-Smasher, and Cyclone. However, what was not shown was the film's villains. While not officially confirmed by Warner Bros., it is rumored that actor Marwan Kenzari, who played Jafar in 2019's Aladdin, will serve as the central villain, Sabbac. The first tease of the character came in the form of Funko Pop! figures for Black Adam back in May, but now a better look at the villain has been revealed.

McFarlane Toys has unveiled the best look at Sabbac yet in the form of a new action figure.

The packaging on the box also offers details on the character, revealing he is the leader of Intergang: "Possessed by a demon, a military Intergang leader transforms into Sabbac, the only being whose powers are equal to those of Black Adam. Determined to take over Kahndaq and maybe the whole world, Sabbac must be stopped, and the fiercely autonomous Black Adam may need the help of some unlikely allies to outmatch him."
