Black Adam's Doctor Fate appearance triggers heated debate between Marvel and DC fans
Fans of both franchises got involved in a war of words on Twitter as Marvel fans accused DC of copying the character of Doctor Strange. Many users on the other hand expressed their love and admiration for Doctor Fate, pointing out that Doctor Fate predates Doctor Strange.
Several fans took to the social media platform to share their thoughts on Doctor Fate's appearance in Black Adam. Take a look at some of the reactions below:
In Black Adam, Doctor Fate is being portrayed by actor Pierce Brosnan. The character has a distinctly flamboyant costume that defines his enigmatic and powerful character. Doctor Fate was earlier played by noted Canadian actor Brent Stait in the popular series, Smallville.
One of the most intriguing things about the character is his helmet, which actor Pierce Prosnan said during an interview with GQ as having ''a curse and a blessing.'' He further mentioned that Fate is ''shackled to the power of helmet'' and that he is ''addicted'' to it.
Brosnan appears in the trailer briefly and looks impressive in his DC debut. It'll be interesting to see how his character and his equation with Black Adam pans out in the movie. The character has a long history, having appeared in numerous animated versions and video games. Fate enjoys a significant fan following in the DC universe.
More details about Black Adam plot and cast
The movie revolves around the titular character, played by Dwayne Johnson, who returns after being imprisoned for centuries. The official synopsis of the movie, as per DC, reads:
''Nearly 5,000 years after he was bestowed with the almighty powers of the ancient gods—and imprisoned just as quickly—Black Adam (Johnson) is freed from his earthly tomb, ready to unleash his unique form of justice on the modern world.''
Initial reactions to the film have mostly been positive, with viewers and critics mostly praising the cast performances, Dwayne Johnson's raw charisma, and the stunning action sequences. Some critics, however, criticized the show for not living up to its hype.
Dwayne Johnson looks in great form in the trailer and viewers can look forward to an impressive performance from the star. Appearing alongside Johnson in pivotal supporting roles are Aldis Hodge, Pierce Brosnan, and Noah Centineo, among many others.
