JSA DC’s extended universe includes Aldis Hodge’s Hawkman, Pierce Brosnan’s Doctor Fate, Quintessa Swindell’s Cyclone and Noah Centineo’s Atom Smasher. As for the latter hero, Centineo explained how his version of Atom Smasher will be different from his comic book counterpart.
Although Atom Smasher was previously portrayed by professional wrestler Edge in The CW’s second season premiere the flashthis version of the character was an Earth-2 villain following Zoom’s orders. black adam gives us a truly heroic Atom Smasher, although as Noah Centineo ScreenRant said, this version of Albert Rothstein doesn’t have much experience when the original DC Comics version joined the JSA. The to all the boys alum explained:
In the comics, he’s a fully formed superhero, right? He is an adult. In this film, however, he is a bit young. He is a young metahuman who, for the first time, takes the first step towards what it means to be a superhero. He comes from a superhero pedigree and his grandfather was actually a supervillain, but not by choice. He was kind of forced to do it, and eventually he rectified it.
When Albert Rothstein was introduced in 1983 as the superpowered godson of Al Pratt, the golden age atom and grandson of the supervillain known as Cyclotron, he was renamed Nuklon and was a member of Infinity Inc. But when the Justice Society was revived in the late 1990s as a mix of its original members and new heroes, Albert took over the identity of Atom Smasher (who had previously been used in the alternate continuity storyline). the kingdom come) and was one of the more experienced members of the latter category.

With all this family history, he feels like a driving force to prove himself; he finds your way and your way and do good and establish yourself as a good person and superhero. You can really see this transition phase, which I don’t think you see often. And the same goes for Maxine Hunkel, played by the Quintessa.
Cyclone is another member of the Justice Society of comics that has ties to the Golden Age, as Maxine Hunkel’s grandmother was the original Red Tornado. Under the leadership of Hawkman and Doctor Fate, coupled with their experience as Black Adam, these two will make huge strides in their superhero careers. In the case of Atom Smasher, it is especially important for him to be a positive force as he does not want to follow in his grandfather’s footsteps, although in the DCEU it appears that Cyclotron is a more tragic figure.
We’ll see Noah Centineo’s Atom Smasher unleash his power when black adam will be released in theaters on October 21st. Our 2022 release schedule is ready for those interested in the other high-profile films still out this year.
