The long-gestating Black Adam DC movie has added another two members to its cast as lead actor Dwayne Johnson confirms filming is set to begin in Georgia next week after spending years in development limbo.
According to Deadline, Broadway actor James Cusati-Moyer, who is currently nominated for a Tony Award after starring in Jeremy O. Harris’ Slave Play, has joined the cast in a currently undisclosed role. Cusati-Moyer’s other credits include Fox’s Prodigal Son and Hulu’s The Path.
Meanwhile, THR is reporting that Bodhi Sabongui (DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, The Main Event) has been cast in an as-yet-unrevealed role, albeit once which is said to be “key to the Black Adam-DC canon.”
Additionally, Dwayne Johnson himself took to Instagram to show off his latest workout session for Black Adam – which he confirmed that production will officially start next week.
