Dwayne Johnson’s been preparing to play Black Adam for a long time now; it finally seems like we’ll be getting the iconic DC character in 2022 in his own solo film. We got our first look during this weekend’s DC FanDome, but what else can we expect?
In an interview with the Illuminerdi, Black Adam producer Hiram Garcia spoke about what Pierce Brosnan brought to the table in his portrayal of Doctor Fate in the film:
“When you’re looking at Pierce Brosnan, who is an OG as, as best as you could describe it, he just blows you away. From the moment he comes on, on set, he just elevates everything up. He just is so charming. He has such a command of just presence on screen I think the minute he goes on there. And seeing him with all of our young actors as well, it’s so fun to see them just hang with him, get to know him. They all became such close friends on this process and were hanging so much offset on downtime. And you could feel that energy and that chemistry when they were on screen. He was such a dream casting.”
Garcia continued:
“Dr. Fate is such a special character and he is, in essence, he and Hawkman are the elder statesman in a universe like this. They’ve been around for a very long time. They both have fascinating histories. Pierce was able to tap into that weight, that poise that comes with millennia of wisdom as being Dr. Fate and what comes with that helmet. I think he was able to tap into that in a special way for us.
And in the process, you could just feel it lift up the rest of the cast. Because anytime you had James Bond coming in and now he’s stepping in, and now he’s becoming, like you said, Kent Nelson, becoming Dr. Fate, it’s a very cool thing. And the chemistry he was able to create with the actors from that was really special.”
Black Adam will hit theaters on July 29, 2022 – you can read the full interview here. Are you excited for DC’s Black Adam?
