    EXCLUSIVE: Description of Hawkman’s Ship in ‘Black Adam’

    Back in March, a couple of images of a Black Adam set being built led our own John Sabato to speculate that the production might be building Hawkman’s Thanagarian Star Cruiser. I can now confirm that it was indeed the set-piece that was being built in those pictures. In addition, here’s an exclusive and detailed description of the finished Hawkman ship set!

    “It’s awesome. It’s sleek… has this curved look to it…  a raised circular sitting area in the back and a big set of long red lights that curve from the back up across the ceiling.There’s a medical bay nook (reclined bed with instruments around it) and something that looks like a bar with glass chairs. Hawkman symbol in gold on the floor in the center. Also one of the hallways has a Hawkman logo in red glowing at the end of it. Pretty cool.”

    Unfortunately, we weren’t able to attain any pictures of the finished set. However, this information comes from a long-time trusted source of Murphy’s Multiverse, so we are confident in this description’s validity. What do you think? Are you excited to see Hawkman’s ship on the big screen?

    Alongside Dwayne Johnson’s starring role, and Pierce Brosnan as Doctor Fate, Aldis Hodge will play Hawkman in Black Adam. The DC film, currently filming in Georgia, is scheduled to hit theaters on July 29, 2022.

    Production on the long-awaited comic book blockbuster, Black Adam, has finally kicked off after spending years in development hell. The film is set to star Dwayne Johnson in the titular role of Black Adam. It will tell the origin of the hero from the old days of Kahndaq up until his battle with the Justice Society of America. Most of the cast seemed to be locked in, but Deadline just reported one new addition is joining the Black Adam family.

    Deadline is reporting that actor Uli Latukefu will join the cast of the upcoming comic book adaptation in an undisclosed role. The actor previously worked with the Rock on his NBC comedy Young Rock. Latukefu portrayed the actor’s teenage and college years. It’s stated in the article that they aren’t exactly sure what role he’d be playing, but it seems very likely he’ll be a young Theo-Adam. The film will take us back to the anti-hero’s origins, as he grew up in Kahndaq. So, it’s a safe assumption, but they could still surprise us.

    Black Adam is currently set to hit theaters on July 29th, 2022, and will be directed by Jaume Collet-Serra. The film sports a stacked cast with Quintessa Swindel as Cyclone, Aldis Hodge as Hawkman, Pierce Brosnan as Doctor Fate, Noah Centineo as Atom Smasher alongside, James Cusati-Moyer, Mo Amer, Bodhi Sabongui, and Marwan Kenzari.

    It looks like Dwayne Johnson’s upcoming superhero film keeps growing with each passing day. The Hollywood Reporter has just revealed that rising actor Bodhi Sabonui will have a key role in the upcoming Shazam spin-off. The plot remains largely a mystery and the 13-year-old actor’s role is also not disclosed in the article. He is joining quite a cast that consists of Pierce Brosnan, Aldis Hodge, Noah Centineo, and Quintessa Swindell. The Canadian actor has already appeared in another DC project, CW’s Legends of Tomorrow. He has also appeared in A Million Little Things, The Babysitters Club, and The Main Event. Black Adam will be his biggest project yet that is set to film this week.

    The film will tell the story of Theo-Adam. In the comics, the character has been commonly known as an anti-hero. We were teased bout his origin during the DC FanDome panel last year in August, where Johnson introduced us to his upcoming origins. He was given the powers of the wizard Shazam before being imprisoned for his misdeeds. After 5,000 years he is free and will take his vengeance on the world. He will also come face-to-face with the Justice Society of America. Jaume Collet-Serra will bring the film to life after working together with The Rock on Disney’s Jungle Cruise film. It’s going to be interesting to see how the film sets up Adam’s story. We’ll see if it might even tie directly into the upcoming Shazam sequel.

Deadline reported that Tony-nominated actor James Cusati-Moyer has joined the project in an undisclosed role. It’s unclear just how big of a role he’ll have in the film.

    Moyer’s previous credits include an array of Broadway work on plays such as Six Degrees of Separation and Slave Play, where played Dustin, a role that scored him a Tony nomination. More of Moyer’s portfolio consist of roles on Inventing Anna, Prodigal Son, Red Oaks, and The Path

    Dwayne Johnson Unveils ‘Black Adam’s New Release Date at Times Square

    DC has been busy preparing its future line-up. They just dropped Zack Snyder’s Justice League on HBO Max and are already hard at work on its future releases. We’ve been getting a lot of casting announcements for the upcoming Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson-led Black Adam film. a while back, it lost its original release date and it was uncertain if it may have been postponed. Recent casting announcements have changed that perception and we were waiting for the new one to drop. Well, it has finally arrived in a dramatic fashion that just matches Johnson‘s flair for the dramatic.

     

    We also got a visual accompanying the reveal that showcases the logo and new release date:

    It is certainly a bold move to take over Times Square to reveal the release date. This marketing move shows how much influence Dwayne Johnson has and it is a cool surprise for anyone who was near there. It’s a classic guerrilla marketing tactic that is attention-grabbing and will get people to check it out once it hits theaters in July. The recent casting of Pierce Brosnan as Doctor Fate has probably also echoed across news outlets quite a bit.

    Black Adam will introduce the world to Teth-Adam and the Justice Society of America. It also will build-up towards the eventual clash between him and Zachary Levi‘s Shazam, who made his live-action debut in 2019. We are looking forward to what direction the film will take and, hopefully, we’ll get our first look at Dwayne Johnson in his full Black Adam attire.

    Pierce Brosnan Joins ‘Black Adam’ as Doctor Fate

    Black Adam has been on the back burner for quite some time now. It is finally set to kick off filming next month, as the production has begun to round out its cast. The film will follow Teth-Adam, who becomes the anti-hero, Black Adam. He was born into slavery in the city of Kahndaq. He is given the powers of the wizard Shazam, through which by uttering the name he becomes imbued with the powers of the Gods. Eventually, he ends up using these abilities to do what he deems necessary to free his home and its people. The film will see Adam face off against the Justice Society of America, which is lead by Hawkman and Doctor Fate. The latter has still not been cast. At least, not until now.

    ‘Black Adam: First Set Photos Tease Hawkman’s Origins

    Anticipation is high for the upcoming debut of Dwayne Johnson in his first foray into the superhero genre, where he will don the bolt of the wizard Shazam to become Black Adam. The film had been on the back burner for quite some time until it finally got moving when the film picked up director Jaume Collet-Serra in 2019. Since then, the film would march full steam ahead, as it recruited star after star to fill out its cast. Sadly, it lost its release date due to the pandemic, but that isn’t stopping its production team from getting ready. Now, as the film prepares to get the ball rolling next month, it seems we have our first look at something completely out of this world.

    Die-hard fans of Hawkman and Hawkgirl know what we’re talking about, as it seems to resemble the Thanagarian Star Cruiser. It’s a ship that plays a pivotal role in their origins. While they can be quite convoluted, it seems they’ll be going with his post-hawk world origin this time around. In it, a Thanagarian ship crashes in ancient Egypt as prophecized by Nabu. Prince Khufu, Nabu, and Teth-Adam find this ship and bring it back to Khufu’s palace. There they study the Nth metal and eventually melted down and used it to make a scarab, a knife, and the Claw of Horus.

    The metal would also strengthen the souls of Chayara and Khufu, in which Katar believed they’d be together forever. The pair would eventually be murdered by Hath-Set using the Nth Metal Knife, trapping their souls in an endless cycle of reincarnation. Aldis Hodge will take on the role of Hawkman and his ties to Egypt could end up tying together with Black Adam’s origin. Hopefully, we get our first look at Hawkman in costume once it enters production next month.
