Black Adam is nearing its release date and is on its mission of hyping up the fans. The film recently released a video clip, which showed various surprising cameos and appearances from the Justice League and Birds of Prey.
It begins with a shot of Batman’s Batarang, then moves towards Henry Cavill’s Superman suit, and then shows appearances from Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Harley Quinn. Post this, it begins to show Black Adam, with the narration, “Before a world of heroes and villains, one power ruled it all, Black Adam.”
Fans were quick to notice these new changes and took to Twitter to showcase their reaction.

However, a few fans were still not happy.
Corrected what, exactly? The headless cameos? The uncertainty on who will play Batman and Superman? The fact that y'all still consider whedon's league canon? Nothing at all has been corrected, sir. pic.twitter.com/hw5D2fmFMK

They made sure to express their unhappiness.
LMAO — talk about surrendering.

You seem really disappointed by The Rock or his team listening to people who express their disappointment about Josstice League. What would have you prefered? That they waste their millions of dollars in the marketing?

Meanwhile, others were expecting a John Cena cameo as well, because of Harley Quinn’s appearance.
I have spotted 2 things:
1 – In the Amanda Waller screen there says Justice League.
2 – Harley Quinn is shown, maybe suicide squad will also be there
We get to see The Rock v John Cena after a long time.— Batman 🦇 (@Batman_2836) September 22, 2022
They can't use footage from ZSJL because the aspect ratio no one going for all that effort for just a .2 sec TV spot (about superman and batman they are doing the same marketing for NWH) give the new regime the benefit of the doubt

It was a very small ick but thanks for correcting Dwayne! BRING ON THE MAN IN BLACK!

However, a few fans were unhappy with the different aspects of the trailer.
I can't believe you would submit to Snydercultists. I thought you had more integrity than that.

The Rock knows how to listen ro The fans 💗
— Cris Geek ⚡ (@Cristogeek) September 22, 2022
I believe the Rock is as invested in Black Adam as fans of Snyder are in the Snyderverse.
I believe what both want are movies that adhere to the comic books and present the DC heroes and villains in ways that are faithful to the source material.
