How Black Adam Is Going To Do Justice To Doctor Fate's Powers
Black Adam producers Beau Flynn and Hiram Garcia talk about how the DCEU film will do Doctor Fate justice in portraying his powers. One of the biggest DCEU films to have been in the works for an extended time is Black Adam, with Dwayne Johnson as the titular figure.

For the role of Doctor Fate, iconic actor Pierce Brosnan will don the gold helmet and cape in Black Adam. The character, who also goes by Kent Nelson, is known as one of the DC Universe's most powerful magic players, and so there are a lot of expectations surrounding his big screen debut.
