According to Aldis Hodge, BlackAdam starts in 'the exact right spot' for new fans who don't know who the Justice Society of America members are.
Black Adam star Aldis Hodge says the upcoming DC film will serve as an excellent entry point for new fans who know little about the Justice Society of America. Set to feature Dwayne Johnson in the titular role, Black Adam represents the 11th big-screen entry in the DC Extended Universe, which began with 2013’s Man of Steel.
There is a lot of history to figure out about where to start with this character. Talking to Jaume [the director] about what the direction of the narrative was, it really came down to what we know and love as his fans, but then also where we find him with Black Adam in this space. Where we start is a great place for people who know and love [Hawkman] and what [Black Adam] is.
