Updated : September 22, 2022 12:39 PM ISTA recent promo for the movie was taken down and tweaked by WB after backlash from fans for using footage from 2017s Justice League.
Black Adam
The controversy occurred after a new promo which contained footage from Aquaman, Birds of Prey, Batman v Superman and the 2017s Justice League movie was released, which forced the studio to remove it from social media and the official studio Youtube channel and reuploaded without footage from the 2017 movie.
The scene in question featured Steppenwolf played by Ciarán Hinds attacking earth in ancient times for the Mother Box, which was carried out by Darkseid in the Snyder Cut.
The 2017 Justice League movie directed by Joss Whedon was universally panned by critics and fans and is mired in controversy after allegations of the director's toxic behavior on set.
Many of the cast and crew involved have pointed out Whendon's problematic behavior the most vocal being Ray Fisher who accused the director of racist behavior.
Fans where displeased with the movie for using the footage and shared their thoughts on social media

Sir @TheRock please don't leave the fans hanging , please state clearly wether your film #BlackAdam considers #ZackSnydersJusticeLeague as canon or is it the 2017 Justice League movie ? You do know nobody likes the reshot 2017 version .

Thanks for the correction! It'd almost way better! Could've included Darkseid or SNYDER CUT Stepphenwolf shot instead of Black Adam shot before Ace Chemicals but it's do perfect! The Movie looks amazing and I'm glad the Justice League is being appreciated here! https://t.co/O4Ngz2Ck1S
