We can’t wait to see Dwayne Johnson make his first foray into the superhero genre with black adam, but he’s not the only notable star on the list. Pierce Brosnan is the legendary actor and the face of Bond from the late 90s to 2002, and he will also be a cast member of the upcoming DC film, in which he plays Doctor Fate.
Intended to be a spin-off series from Shazam!, the 11th addition to the DC Extended Universe will also have other big names like Noah Centino, Sarah Shahi, and even Aldis Hodge. But it’s Brosnan playing the sorcerer hero in epic fashion that will catch our eyes. Here is a short commentary on the hero by the actor himself.

The 69-year-old actor sat down with Games Radar where he talks about his character and the powers of Fate-
“I am the eldest of the group. I’m sure he’s one of the oldest characters in the pantheon of comic book characters. He’s an archaeologist.
“He has the power to foresee the future, raise the dead and teleport, while wearing a golden helmet. Absolutely yes [the helmet is essential]. It is a blessing and a curse. It’s almost like addiction in some ways. It takes a lot of energy to wear the helmet. It was a very well designed outfit and helmet, which I really like. Jaume Collet-Serra is very inclusive in the collaboration. He was wonderful in the sense that he sent me drawings of the helmet, so that I could participate in his look.
That’s a lot of Doctor Fate detail from the actor, and it looks like we’ll get to see an incredible costume to match the powers Fate possesses!
