Black Adam has assembled an impressive cast, and with Dwayne Johnson's magically charged anti-hero set to take on the Justice Society, we have a lot of reasons to be excited for the DC Comics adventure. So far, Noah Centineo has been chosen to play Atom Smasher, Quintessa Swindell will bring Cyclone to life, and we're still waiting to hear what Warner Bros. has planned for Dr. Fate.
Easily one of the most exciting casting additions, though, is The Invisible Man star Aldis Hodge as Hawkman.
It's felt like he's been waiting on his big break for the longest time, and taking on a role like this is bound to send him straight to the A-List. It's an opportunity Hodge is clearly excited for, and it was during a recent interview with Screen Rant that he shared the depths of his research for the role.
"As far as research, I've done all kinds of research," he said. "I read all the graphic novels, from the JSA to the Hawkman series. I find myself really enjoying who and what he is, and how he is, and I know what we have in store for how we're going to show him. It's got me really excited."
While it seems inevitable that Black Adam will eventually face off with Shazam, we don't currently know what Warner Bros. has planned for the Justice Society members. We're definitely hoping it's a little more ambitious than what seems to be happening with the Birds of Prey, and Hawkman is a character with some serious spinoff potential (especially if he's joined by Hawkgirl).
