Black Adam
Black Adam director Jaume Collet-Serra explains how the film will build on the history between Hawkman and 'The Rock' antihero in the comics
It was in an interview with Vanity Fair that Collet-Serra revealed that 'Black Adam' is not afraid to explore the history of Hawkman with the protagonist. This could be something totally necessary because perhaps some viewers do not understand what is happening. This is what the director said:
"In the comics, there are clear references of the type: 'Hey, I saw you 5,000 years ago. Do you remember me?' We're not going to do that. It would be too confusing. Obviously, Hawkman reincarnates, so how many times do you have to reincarnate and keep remembering? All these rules [are something] you don't want to put in until those characters are really established."
The relationship between Black Adam and Hawkman
It's entirely possible that Black Adam will ignore Hawkman's original story without necessarily changing his origins. This is because every time the superhero reincarnates, he does not retain the previous memories of him from the beginning. Rather, when Hawkman reaches adulthood, he is reminded of his life as 'Prince Khufu'.
Therefore, during the events of 'Black Adam', it is possible that Hawkman has not yet had those moments that refresh his memory, and therefore, he would not have any memory of Black Adam. As for the antihero of 'The Rock', although he has his memories of Kahndaq, he would not necessarily identify Carter as 'Prince Khufu', since the character, every time he is reborn, undergoes various changes in his physique.
Although Black Adam may not be able to identify Carter as Khufu, all of Hawkman's equipment, including his ship and metal wings, could draw the attention of Dwayne Johnson's antihero, sparking his curiosity as to how Hawkman obtained these items and technology from five millennia ago. This, perhaps, could give Carter one of those moments where he finally remembers who Black Adam is.
The entire 'DC' fandom has all their hopes pinned on the movie that 'The Rock' will star in, especially after the delicate moment they live within 'Warner' and 'DC', as well as the company's uncertain future. The trailers that we have been able to see about this film, a priori, make us think that he will be a bombshell. But, obviously, we have to see it to decide if it is good or bad. And you, do you want this movie to be released?
