Warning: SPOILER for black adam I’m ahead!
Despite black adam, the latest addition to the DC movie library, was mostly made up of new characters from the DC Extended Universe, there were some familiar faces stopping by. Namely, it was Viola Davis’ Amanda Waller who tasked the Justice Society with arresting main character Dwayne Johnson, and after the main story ended, Henry Cavill’s Superman visited Kahndaq in the black adam credits scene. But it turns out that Aldis Hodge, who plays JSA leader Carter Hall / Hawkman, didn’t know any of those actors were involved in. black adam until the end of the game.
Let’s start with Henry Cavill, like black adam marked the first time the actor played Superman in half a decade (remember that the Man of Steel was played by a double in Shazam! and the Lollipop End of season 1). While Cavill black adam The scene wasn’t shot until September, just a month before the film was released to the public, Hodge didn’t know of Superman’s presence until “maybe a day or two before the premiere”. However, Hodge admires the great effort to keep Cavill’s cameo secret, telling THR:
It wasn’t about bringing Superman back to life and anything like that. They have to keep these things in super safety, so all you can do is focus on trying to make Black Adam the best he can be. So you listen to things and get ideas, but nothing is ever fully confirmed or said. And honestly, I like it because it was a huge surprise to me and I love the fact that we got to experience it with the audience. Fans have been trying to bring Henry Cavill back to red and blue for a minute, and DJ was the perfect person to bring him back. It’s not better.
This explains Superman, but what about Amanda Waller? Well, remember that inside black adamthe leader of Task Force X we saw earlier suicide squad, the suicide squad Yes Lollipop interacted with other characters only via video calls. As such, she is alone black adam It was in the filming that Aldis Hodge realized that David would be in the film, having previously assumed that an appearance of him was no longer in the cards. He explained:
We talked about it. Initially there was an idea to get her to participate, but then I think there was a scheduling conflict. So when we first shot the film, she wasn’t there at all; we all had completely different scenes. But when we resumed filming, I saw her name on the script and I thought, “Oh shit!” (Laughs.) So I kept that secret for most of the year, and it was really amazing.
Aldis Hodge added that he and Viola Davis have already worked together on the short-lived TV show. City of Angels when he was “12 or 14”, so even though these two never meet in person black adam, it was “unbelievable” for him to “share the screen with her again on something of this magnitude.” It should also be remembered that black adam included Jennifer Holland’s Emilia Harcourt as Amanda Waller’s representative when the Justice Society brought a disempowered Teth-Adam to this black Task Force X site. Emilia was described as a secondary character in the suicide squad and later became one of the LollipopThe main protagonists of.
