‘Black Adam’ star says the movie is a perfect entry point for the uninitiated

For many heading to the theater later this year to watch DC’s Black Adam, the backstory of the antihero and fellow DC Comics characters joining him on the big screen will still be largely foreign. Aldis Hodge, who plays Hawkman in the film, has reassured moviegoers that the upcoming superhero flick has satisfying entry points for both uninformed and avid comics fans.

Black Adam was initially set to feature in the 2019 DC Extended Universe film, Shazam! as an important piece of the superhero’s backstory but, in the end, Johnson decided they each deserved their own separate origin story. Even for those who aren’t familiar with the source material, and have only followed the DC world through the big screen, they will maybe remember a throwaway mention of Black Adam in Shazam! when the ancient wizard Shazam says his previous champion released the Seven Deadly Sins. Yep, that was Black Adam.
