Nelson…Kent Nelson

Black Adam has attached a big name to play a well known DC character. The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that James Bond legend Pierce Brosnan will play hero Dr. Fate in the Jaume Collet-Serra directed film.

With there being various versions of Fate existing in the comics, thankfully this source uncovered more on Brosnan’s version of the character:

“Brosnan will play Kent Nelson, aka the good Dr. Fate, a son of an archeologist who was taught sorcery skills and given the magical Helmet of Fate. The character, created by Gardner Fox and Howard Sherman, is one of DC’s oldest characters, having first appeared in 1940’s More Fun Comics #5.”

Brosnan’s Fate will be joining Dwayne Johnson’s title character plus Atom Smasher played by Noah Centineo, Hawkman played by Aldis Hodge and Cyclone played by Quintessa Swindell, respectively.
