>Warner Bros Pictures' upcoming BLACK ADAM, starring Dwayne Johnson as the eponymous anti-hero, is casting for three stahlwart comic book characters: Hawkman, Stargirl & Atom-Smasher, members of the Justice Society of America, a team that has often butted heads with Johnson's character.

>A Middle-Eastern actor in the 30-39 age range and with a physique to match Johnson's is being sought for immortal winged warrior Carter Hall AKA Hawkman, who will serve as Black Adam's main rival, while a couple in the 20-29 age range is sought for starcrossed lovers Stargirl, a teenager armed with a staff powered by cosmic energy; and Atom-Smasher, an atomic-powered anti-hero who is super-strong and can grow as tall as a building.

>This indicates the script, penned by Adam Sztykiel - Who previously wrote the Johnson vehicle RAMPAGE - is borrowing concepts from the comics "Black Reign" storyline, in which Black Adam deposes the dictator ruling over his home country of Khandaq and seizes power for himself, putting him on a collision course with the JSA and the international authorities.

>BLACK ADAM currently has no director attached, and is eyeing a possible 2022 release date.
