Why James Gunn’s DCU doesn’t need Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam

Atom Smasher and Cyclone are a dynamic duo

Noah Centineo (Atom Smasher) and Quintessa Swindell (Cyclone) were amazing in their roles. We got a taste of the incredible potential of these characters, but there is so much depth in their characters.

In Black Adam, we saw Atom Smasher’s struggles with his powers and his identity as a superhero. He is a complex character who is trying to come to terms with his abilities and the responsibilities that come with them. Similarly, Cyclone is a powerful and confident hero who is also dealing with her own personal demons. A solo movie would give us a chance to delve deeper into these characters and see them grow and evolve in new ways.

Noah Centineo and Quintessa Swindell’s chemistry was undeniable, and it would be great to see them in a romantic-comedy action movie. The idea of a superhero romance-comedy is unique and would be a refreshing change from the typical superhero movie formula. The two characters have great synergy and their dynamic would bring a new dimension to the film.

It would be amazing to see Gunn take all these characters and flesh them over the course of a few movies on either HBO Max, or on the big screen.
