Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam Gets Prequel Series Headlined by Hawkman

Black Adam – The Justice Society Files: Hawkman releases first in July. The 48-page issue comes from Cavan Scott, Scot Eaton and Norm Rapmund, with a secondary feature by Bryan Q. Miller and Marco Santucci that follows Adrianna Tomaz/Isis, who will also appear in the film. The synopsis reads, "Long ago, Hawkman was the leader of the Justice Society, but what is he now? Still a hero, or another relic in a museum? Everything changes when he finds himself haunted by not only the past, but also the vengeful spirit of a wayward thief. Will this Gentleman Ghost be the death of Hawkman or will he deliver a warning from beyond the grave? The road to Black Adam begins here. Also in this issue: As a pivotal moment in the life of Teth-Adam and his son Hurut begins to unfold in ancient Kahndaq, modern-day Kahndaq meets a new hero—antiquities professor by day, 'cultural recovery specialist' by night, Adrianna Tomaz. And unfortunately for Adrianna, she’s about to 'liberate' a sacred totem from the wrong interested party—Intergang!"

Black Adam is a spinoff of 2019's Shazam! that's directed by Jungle Cruise's Jaume Collet-Serra. While the plot still mostly remains unknown at this time, DC did provide a first look at some members of the Justice Society in a "The World Needs Heroes" promotional video that was posted leading up to the release of The Batman. "You have Dwayne [Johnson], who's at the pinnacle of his fame and fortune and success and popularity," Brosnan said in a previous interview. "He is magnificent as Black Adam. We are the Justice Society and there are four of us, so we became a strong quartet of actors."
