The James Bond actor will play the role of Kent Nelson version of Doctor Fate, a son of an archaeologist who was taught sorcery skills and given the magical Helmet of Fate. Gardner Fox and Howard Sherman created the character which first appeared in 1940’s More Fun Comics #5.
Last year, Dwayne Johnson spoke about the film and why he chose to do the role of Black Adam. He said, “One of the main things that I always loved and admired about Black Adam was, number one, he was an antihero. He is an antihero. I love that. I love that the line is a little burred. I love that he doesn’t walk a line. I love that he has his own sense of Black Adam justice.”
The Rock also said, “I also love the fact that his origins are that of a slave. When the origins are that of somebody who was enslaved, as people enslaved his family and he felt the burdens and the pressures of a larger entity holding him down until he couldn’t take it anymore. And when you come from that place, it’s just a different energy that you have. So, I’ve always loved that about Black Adam, which informs how Black Adam operates, how he sees justice, how he delivers justice and I’ve always appreciated that about Black Adam.”
