IT looks like Suicide Squad head Amanda Waller’s next appearance in the DC Extended Universe has been confirmed to be more than a cameo.
This was stated by actor Aldis Hodge, who plays Hawkman/Carter Hall in the upcoming film Black Adam in an interview with Fandango. Hodge told the outlet that he will share a scene with Waller’s actress, Viola Davis.
“When I saw in the script that she was there, I was like, 'I get a scene with Val? I get a scene with the GOAT? Hell yeah!’” Hodge recalled.
Davis’ reprisal of the role was first confirmed during the film’s panel at the recent San Diego Comic-Con 2022, though the role the character will play in the film’s story is unknown.
Hodge is not the only actor to indicate a connection between Suicide Squad and Black Adam.
Dwayne Johnson, who plays the titular character of the film, revealed that “Black Adam doesn’t give a ****” about the group of world-saving supervillains, while responding to a fan on Twitter.
Whether Hawkman will be fighting alongside long-time ally Doctor Fate (Pierce Brosnan), acting as a representative for Waller, or engaging Black Adam independently, remains to be seen.
Black Adam will mark Hawkman's DCEU debut, in addition to his first live-action appearance since The CW's Arrowverse, where he was played by actor Falk Hentschel.
Black Adam will release on Oct 21.
