You'll be awarded no points at all for figuring out who Black Adam's ultimate villain will be the first time he appears on screen.

In one of the movie's first scenes, we're introduced to archaeologist Adrianna Tomaz (Sarah Shahi), her brother Karim (Mohammed Amer), and his colleagues Samir (James Cusati-Moyer) and Ishmael (Marwan Kenzari), as they attempt to track down the Crown of Sabbac.

Except, from the first time we see Ishmael, he may as well be wearing a neon signpost around his neck that says, "Bad Guy."

It probably doesn't help that Kenzari played Jafar in the live-action Aladdin remake a few years back, but even so, if you didn't expect him to turn on his pals and go into business for himself, you weren't paying enough attention.
