“My character is quite passionate about what he believes in and it was really an honor to play him. Not only was it an honor for me to play Black Adam, but to make this film with this group and introduce the JSA (Justice Society of America) to the world,” Johnson said at a press conference, which was attended by Filo.news. We wanted to usher in a new era in the DC Universe and what that meant was to create to introduce six seven characters on the way to the world, which is not easy to do.

“I approached him like any other role, you do everything you can to understand what the character is, the expectations and the pressure he has on him. There’s an amazing cast that became family,” Centineo said, while Shahi added, “There was no stereotype associated with her, that she comes from a lineage of superheroes, she’s becoming herself, it’s a journey of self-actualization.” It was the perfect time to play it, with the years I have on me and the life experience I have lived and I really enjoyed playing it. Every day was a choice to go work with my fellow actors here and we became a family,” said Brosnan.La directors’ word.

Dwayne is looking for better ideas, we’re always looking for something in a project that we feel is really going to resonate with the audience, something that feels a little fresh, that will provide something special for the fans and a little bit of fun, give them an escape from whatever is going on in life and know that when they come to see one of our movies they’re going to have a good time.” said in the talk.

“This is an extraordinary cast, there are great actors. It was a big win for us to have Pierce, he was very excited, because he said all his teammates had made superhero movies or made Harry Potter movies and he hadn’t done any.” We wanted to fulfill the genesis of comics while still fitting in with a modern global audience. We wanted to implement some details of the characters, that what we tell represents the fans … we’re excited to introduce a character that we feel has never been seen on screen before, there are so many great heroes, there have been so many great superhero movies out there, but there’s never really been a character like Black Adam before.” Completed.
