Black Adam first appeared in DC Comics in the 1940s as a power-corrupt villain. However, he slowly becomes an anti-hero in the 2000s storyline, known for disregarding any conventional rules and traditions. Pierce Brosnan recently signed on to play Dr. Fate, marking his first-ever superhero role. Dr. Fate, also known as Kent Nelson, is a founding member of the Justice Society and gains superpowers from putting on his power-inducing Helmet of Fate. Brosnan’s casting finalizes the lineup for the Justice Society, with Noah Centineo playing Atom Smash, Quintessa Swindell as Cyclone, and Aldis Hodge who plays Hawkman.
