Pierce Brosnan’s 2022 DCU entry Black Adam is being pulled from Netflix by October 31, according to Collider. The film, which cost Warner Bros. And DC around $200 million to make, grossed $393 million globally — just shy of the $400 million threshold that would’ve marked it as a success. While not a total disaster, it underperformed expectations, especially for a high-profile superhero film with a star-studded cast including Dwayne Johnson, Aldis Hodge, Noah Centineo, Sarah Shahi, Quintessa Swindell, and Marwan Kenzari. Brosnan’s portrayal of Doctor Fate stood out, earning praise from fans who now wonder if his character could return in a future DCU project. The movie has been available on Netflix since its release but will no longer be accessible after the end of October. No official explanation was provided for the removal, though it aligns with recent trends of streamers pruning underperforming content. Brosnan, meanwhile, remains active in entertainment: he’s currently starring in Guy Ritchie’s crime series MobLand, which returned for Season 2 and became one of the most-watched shows worldwide. He also appeared in Netflix’s The Thursday Murder Club, a Knives Out-style mystery that drew millions during its initial run. Next year, he’ll reprise his action-hero credentials in a remake of Cliffhanger, the 1993 Sylvester Stallone film. Still, Black Adam’s exit signals a quiet end to one chapter of his post-Bond career, one that didn’t quite land with audiences or platforms. The question now isn’t whether Brosnan will keep working, but whether this version of the story ever gets another chance.

Netflix Malayalam Thriller Released Without Dubs
The film, directed by Shahad Nilambur and produced by Arjun Selva, features Mathew Thomas, Sidharth Bharathan, Vijayaraghavan, Vinay Forrt, and Tamil actor Parthiban in key roles. It’s a low-budget thriller that found its way into the mainstream without a big star or studio backing. That’s rare. And that’s why the lack of accessibility feels like a missed opportunity.
