Variety - Aldis Hodge to Play Hawkman in DC Films’ ‘Black Adam’
- Thread starter Wingfan19
- Start date
Used to act with him and his brother back in the day. Both are good dudes wish them nothing but the best.
I know nothing about the script but with Black Adam and the other JSA members, I think it makes more sense for them to be the whole reincarnated couple thing and not aliens, right?
I hope he does a great job. But...can they actually make the Hawkman costume look good in live action?
the recent hawkman run solves this issue
all hawkmen are carter hall, all hawkwomen are shiera hall, even the aliens, they reincarnate across space and time
I thought that was always the case? Sounds like they jsut went back to the 90s version
Yeah, I thought Johns covered that (or maybe Zero Hour right before) merging the Thanagarian cops and the other Hawkpeople. I was just saying I doubt the alien aspect comes into play in Black Adam, but we'll see.
Nah,
They had all the "earth" hawkpeople be the same reincarnations, but the aliens were separate. The latest retcon just says fuck it, they are all the same.
Oh damn Hardison moving up in the world.
Why people always forgetting Hawkman Slayven? I know the CW version isn't good but cmon.

I'm pretty sure they cast Hawkgirl a while ago.
They were looking for an Atom Smasher and Stargirl too, unless things changed.
edited to add:
I was going by this:
But during Fandome, the preview had only Hawkman, Dr. Fate, Atom Smasher (who was already cast) and Cyclone (maybe because of the Stargirl series)
Oh here's the reason:
my bad, I'm sure you already knew this and it's me who was behind. ;)
There's a helluva lot more people that grew up with Hawkgirl on the Justice League animated series than care about Cyclone. Like hey, maybe they wanted to mix up the JSA characters for their movie, I get it. Maybe the movie will be better with her in it. But like... Cyclone is a weird fucking pull no matter which way you cut it. Hell, fucking Stargirl would've been a bigger draw.
Cyclone basically replaced Stargirl (they wanted newbie JSAers to go with the vets). It sounds like there were other issues getting Hawkgirl in there (maybe they want to use her for Justice League or something), not that Cyclone was a more appealing option.
Since they casted a black actor I'm assuming they're going with "ancient Egyptian" reincarnated Hawkman storyline
I also can't wait for the die hard Hawkman fans (yes, a few of them exist) to complain about Hawkman being separated from Hawkgirl again.

I mean reincarnation is colorblind, they could do it with anyone. But that is the main backstory now even the thanagarians got retconned into it
The original article in that first tweet I posted said the studio was looking for actors for:
Hawkman, Isis, Stargirl, Atom Smasher, Doctor Fate and Hawkgirl.
The Fandome trailer only mentions Hawkman, Doctor Fate, and their new recruits Cyclone and Atom Smasher. So I think Cyclone took the role of "new recruit" from Stargirl and Isis and Hawkgirl were cut (or they didn't want to mention them for some reason).
