A new report suggests that Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam movie is looking for its Doctor Fate. We know that the film will introduce a version of the Justice Society of America, DC Comics’ original superhero team. The film already cast Aldis Hodge as Hawkman and Noah Cenetineo as Atom Smasher and Quintessa Swindell as Cyclone. Doctor Fate also reportedly has a role. While some fans wondered if that’s who the new cast member Marwan Kenzari is playing, Murphy’s Multiverse reports that the film is still casting for Doctor Fate or someone who fits the description. In addition to looking for a young Teth-Adam and his father, Charles Murphy reports that the film is looking for someone to play a magician described as “powerful being prepared to do what they must to protect the world.” That sounds like an apt description for Doctor Fate. Given that the film will show us Black Adam’s ancient origin and include the Justice Society, Fate seems like the obvious choice.
