Never heard of it until I saw this advertisement, but the name reminds me of something else
They call me Mr Celsius!

They've been advertising it pretty heavily here. I don't care enough to look into it, but I don't understand how the title isn't racist or something.

Yeah, exactly the same here. I assume the titular character is one of the vast number of superheroes I've never heard of, but still.
A-nis bidh fios aig daoine nuair a tha mi a 'mionnachadh aig dhaibh.

Apparently he's a Super Villain, so maybe that's where "black" comes in.

Aye, maybe. Not even vaguely interested in seeing it though, far too many marvel films as it is.

"Deciding that he should rule the world, the Mighty Adam overthrows and kills the pharaoh and assumes the Egyptian throne. Angered by this betrayal, Shazam renames his errant champion Black Adam and—unable to revoke the powers he gave Adam—banishes him to the most distant star in the universe"
Is it racist to assume the 'black' in the title refers to race? Or maybe more racist to point out that the actor is Hawaiian, not black? Would someone who suggests they should have given the role to a black man be contributing to systemic racism? So many things to ponder. Possibly some hetero-supremacist overtones even.
