Black Adam , the movie Dwayne Johnson has dreamed of for over ten years, is just gathering a cast. Of course, Johnson will play the lead role and seems to be the perfect actor for the role.
Even then, ten years ago, I just wanted to wait until I felt the right moment, and it seems to me that now that I am the man that I have become, I will be able to bring some lessons and philosophy from my own life and root them in this character’s DNA.
Every strong man needs a strong partner by his side. In the case of Adam, it is the goddess Isis, his wife and companion, who made him the chosen one of the sorcerer Shazam. She has already appeared in the DC Shazam comic ! # 25 in 1976. Since 2006, a series of weekly graphic stories titled 52 was released , and that’s where the rise of Black Adam, his love for Isis, was introduced.
The goddess has powerful powers equal to Adam’s – she can fly, she has a power similar to Wonder Woman, she is very fast and has the power of telekinesis (moving objects at a distance), geokinesis (power over the earth), and the ability to control time.
Our superhero’s beloved will be played by Sarah Shahi, a beautiful American actress of Iranian-Spanish origin. She is best known for her participation in the series The Word on L, or Impersonalni , where she played the agent Shaw, about whom Jonathan Nolan said:
If James Bond and Sarah Connor had a baby, Shaw would kick his ass.
I think Isis would kick Bond himself with his hands behind his back …
Sarah Shahi has previously collaborated with DC Comics, voicing Killer Frost in the animated Young Justice. Alongside her and Johnson, Noah Centineo as Atom Smasher and Aldis Hodge as Hawkman will also appear in the film.
The release date of Black Adam remains unknown.
