Viola Davis will return as Amanda Waller in BlackAdam.
During the Black Adam presentation of 2022’s San Diego Comic-Con, Warner Bros. revealed that Hollywood legend Viola Davis would be back as Amanda Waller for the upcoming movie. However, it’s still unknown how the boss of the Suicide Squad will fit in Black Adam, as the movie is a prequel to the DC Extended Universe that retells the origin of Dwayne Johnson’s titular antihero.
Black Adam will follow the tragic story of Teth-Adam, a man condemned to a life as a slave in Ancient Egypt, who becomes a warrior for the Wizard Shazam. Due to his servitude to Shazam, Black Adam is blessed with the powers of the gods, including the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the stamina of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles, and the speed of Mercury.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY In the DC Extended Universe, Amanda Waller is the warden of Belle Reve Penitentiary, a prison built to hold all the supervillains of the United States. Besides acting as the warden, Amanda also uses the prisoners as cannon fodder in black ops operations through Task Force X, an elite squad also known as the Suicide Squad.
Black Adam is currently set to be released in theaters on October 21. Levi will return to his superhero role a couple of months later when Shazam! Fury of the Gods releases on December 21. Check out Black Adam’s trailer below:
