Black Adam leading man Dwayne Johnson shared a new poster centered on Pierce Brosnan's character from the upcoming DC Extended Universe movie and leader of the Justice Society of America, Doctor Fate.
In the image, Doctor Fate can be seen standing in front of an all-blue background, seemingly about to cast a spell. Accompanying the image, Johnson also shared a quote from the character, reading, "Fate does not make mistakes."
Brosnan himself recently discussed Doctor Fate's powers, saying, "[Doctor Fate] has powers to foresee the future, and raise the dead, and teleport, while wearing a gold helmet... It's a blessing and a curse. It's almost like a drug addiction in some respects. It takes a lot of energy to wear the helmet." Brosnan also spoke highly of the character's costume, revealing Black Adam director Jaume Collet-Serra played a part in its creation. Collet-Serra sent Brosnan Helmet of Fate designs so the actor could "participate in the look of it."
The Justice Society of America
Doctor Fate isn't the only JSA member whose Black Adam actor talked about them. Aldis Hodge, who plays Hawkman in the film, said he'd like to see the Winged Avenger have his own solo projects. "The thing about Hawkman, you'll know if you look at the chronology of the comic book series, you have the Justice Society, you even have him dip into the Justice League a little bit, and then you have the standalone Hawkman comics, and there's so much rich history there," Hodge noted. "His backstory, his curse, his history with Hawkgirl. There's so much there to fill out a standalone film — a few standalone films! I just hope we get to explore it."
Tying into Hodge's comments, the JSA may have a future outside of Black Adam, as Johnson stated the movie will give way to spinoffs focused on other heroes, with the ultimate goal being to expand the DC Extended Universe and introduce new characters. "We have a few ideas of what characters people are really going to respond to in Black Adam, and so we’re already thinking ahead to: 'Let's start thinking about that movie, and what that movie looks like for them.'"
Black Adam opens in theaters on Oct. 21
