BLACK ADAM Adds TO ALL THE BOYS I'VE LOVED BEFORE Star Noah Centineo As Atom Smasher

Well, it looks like those reports that members of the JSA will be a part of the Black Adam movie were true, as To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before's Noah Centineo has joined the cast as Atom Smasher...

Confirming recent rumors that Atom Smasher would feature in the upcoming Black Adam movie, THR reports that Noah Centineo (To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before) has been cast to play the DC Comics hero.

Centineo, who has also been linked to the long-gestating Masters of the Universe movie, will join Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as the titular antihero.

In the comics, Atom Smasher, aka Albert Rothstein, is a mountain of a man who has the ability to grow to pretty much any size he chooses and increase his strength exponentially. He previously appeared in live-action in an episode of The CW’s The Flash.

The Jaume Collet-Serra-directed Shazam! spinoff is also expected to feature the big-screen debuts of fellow Justice Society members Cyclone, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, and Dr. Fate, so keep an eye out for more casting announcements soon. A rumor that WB  might be considering a JSA movie if Black Adam is a success did the rounds recently, but that obviously remains to be seen.

Black Adam was originally scheduled to begin shooting this month, but the COVID-19 pandemic made that impossible. It looked like the production wasn't going to suffer too significant a delay (Johnson recently claimed that cameras were set to roll in August of September), but the latest update reckons it'll now be early 2021.

@kider - Wonder if they will really include Stargirl, odd if they do, considering he has a show right now

This casting came out of the left field. And I am very used to the JSA being made up of veteran, older heroes.

This likely will also be an origin JSA film then.

@NinnesMBC - Doesn't have to be Atom Smasher is younger than the veteran JSA members. They could still have some of the older members.

The JSA is a multi-generational team made up of OGs like Flash, Hawkman, and Wildcat; Infinitors like Atom Smasher, Hector Hall (Dr. Fate) and Power Girl; and a newer generation, including Hawkgirl (Kendra Saunders), Jakeem Thunder, Shazam, Mr. Terrific, and Stargirl.

I bet Noah's fangirls will flock to see the movie despite not knowing anything about the comics. Hopefully we gets news on Hawkman and Dr. Fate casting. Perhaps at FanDome.

Black Adam has been my favorite villain since I read 52. I hope they don't water him down and shy away from his brutality.

@blackandyellow - He's basically Homelander, The Plutonian, and Omni-Man before there was Homelander, The Plutonian, and Omni-Man.

Sounds like weird casting if I'm being honest, but we'll see.

@Necropolitan - they saw Atom Smasher's outfit (emphasis on the exposure of his arms) then they saw Centineo's arms and said:

@Necropolitan - my lady is a big fan of the rom coms, so I’ve seen this dude in quite a bit....tbh he’s actually not bad. Pretty charismatic. He gets a pass for me, I’m intrigued how he will do.

Well, hopefully he's on the same training schedule as The Rock because the character is supposed to be as big as him.

This guy has never been in a good movie. Let's hope that's not a sign of things to come for this one.

He's got the arms for it, for sure.

Anyone else remember when people on this site wanted him as Batman in Reeves film?

The casting process of this film must be getting overexposed actors.
