Hawkman and Stargirl to Be Introduced in Black Adam?

It’s beginning to look like Dwayne Johnson may go up against the Justice Society of America inBlack Adam. Johnson was originally set to be the villain inShazam!, but that obviously didn’t work out. David F. Sandberg’s movie has recently been screened and the early reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, which bodes well for theBlack Adammovie. The standalone adventure starring Johnson was first revealed back in 2007, but there hasn’t been much news about it until now.

It is believed that Adam Szytkiel has turned in a draft of theBlack Adamscript to Warner Bros. This on its own is great news for DC fans who have been waiting for any sort of update. However, the script reportedly includes Justice Society of America membersHawkman, Stargirl, and Atom Smasher. Hawkman is expected to have a major role in the movie, but what that means is unclear at this time. It’s important to note that this information comes from an anonymous source, so it’s best to treat it as rumor for now.

Hawkman, akaCarter Hall, is one of DC’s oldest heroes. Hall is an archeologist who is the reborn soul of ancient Egyptian Prince Khufu. He is one of the founders of the JSA and is often paired with Hawkgirl, aka Chay-Ara. However, there is no word if she will be involved inBlack Adamor not at this time. It’s a safe bet that she will at least be mentioned in the movie when it hits theaters. As for the Hawkman role, the studio is reportedly looking for an actor in the 30 to 39-year old range who can keep up with Dwayne Johnson.

Stargirl, aka Courtney Whitmore and Atom Smasher, aka Albert Rothstein, are also members of the JSA. The two characters are usually portrayed as a romantic couple in the comics, but Rothstein is also an old friend of Black Adam’s. In later comics, the two team up, which could be seen in the big screen adaptation ofBlack Adamwhen all is said and done. The studio is reportedly seeking an actress and actor in the 20 to 29-year old range to play the characters. Seeing Atom Smasher and Stargirl would definitely be a big deal for a lot of DC fans who have been patiently waiting for someBlack Adamnews.

Dwayne Johnson is a busy man, but he has said in the past thatBlack Adamcould begin shooting as early as the end of this year. However, that looks doubtful at the moment, even for Johnson’s superior work ethic. But, an early 2020 start date seems plausible and the actor recently revealed that the project is still a priority of his and for Warner Bros. Let’s hope that this casting information ends up being true and we get to see Hawkman, Atom Smasher, and Stargirl inBlack Adam. The casting information comes to us fromThat Hashtag Show.
