Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, going back to his pro wrestling days, has always given off that “superhero” vibe so it’s entirely apropos he’s starring in “Black Adam,” a big-budget DC Comics origin story out in theaters this weekend.
The film, shot in part at Trilith Studios in Fayetteville, Georgia, using oodles of CGI to create the fictional city of Kahndaq, features a coterie of characters not given movie love before including Hawkman (Aldis Hodge), Atom Smasher (Noah Centineo), Cyclone (Quintessa Swindell) and Hawkman’s mentor Doctor Fate (Pierce Brosnan).
They are part of the Justice Society, a group independent of the better known Justice League featuring A-list superheroes such as Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman.
