We chat with BlackAdam stars sarahshahi & realmoamer about representation and what it means to bring the human element to DC's newest superhero story:
DC’s newest anti-hero is changing the hierarchy of the DC Cinematic Universe, but the heart of Black Adam is the relationship between Sarah Shahi and comedian Mo Amer, who star as brother and sister duo Adrianna and Karim. The latest big screen release from Warner Bros. introduces several new superheroes thanks to the Justice Society of America, but it also gives the humans of the story time in the spotlight.
Sarah Shahi: Well, she can't shoot electricity through her eyes. I was trying to, one day on set; I was like... Sarah Shahi: Nothing was happening. But no, she's human. And they do have their similarities. She’s, for all purposes, a badass, although I hate that word. And they both have a lot in common in the sense that they were family people. She has a son. She lost her husband. He had a family that he had since lost.
Mohammed Amer: It means the world to me. It just has my own series, as well. Writing that, I always thought about how FUBU is "For Us, By Us" is "For Us, but For Everyone.” That's how I think about it. And it's important to make these universal stories of compassion and just humanize these characters that are normally demonized and dehumanized.
Sarah Shahi: Yes. Well, she is all Team Black Adam. It's like the purpose of this movie is to blur the lines between heroes and villains. That is something that is such a definition that can be subjective. They're coming from their own needs and looking at it from that perspective, and I'm coming from it from my own needs and what serves our country.
