black Adam It’s gearing up to change the landscape in the DC world from now on, bringing some cool and lovable new characters to the big screen. While fans are undoubtedly excited to see the film’s Justice Society of America roster on screen, there has also been a fair amount of conversation about comic team members not present in the movie – with Hawkgirl among them. As Black Adam star and executive producer Dwayne Johnson revealed in 2020, Hawkgirl was originally expected to appear on the JSA roster, with Johnson tweeting that those plans had somehow fallen apart, resulting in Maxine Hunkel/Cyclone (Quintessa Swindell) joining the group instead. So. With Hawkgirl’s comedian partner and often husband Carter Hall/Hodge (Aldis Hodge) appearing in the film, there’s still a question as to why she didn’t eventually make the cut — but according to Hodge, there was good reason.
“Oh, I actually can’t talk about it, take it into account in the movie’s story, because… yeah, I can’t talk about how that would affect the movie apart from the fact that it would still be great,” Hodge explained. In a new interview with direct. “It would be great, but not being there is intentional. We have room to grow, however we are allowed to move forward and we can explore different avenues, and hopefully that is one of the avenues we are touching on. But everything has meaning and purpose.”
Who is Hawkgirl in DC Comics?
Hawkgirl’s mantle in the pages of DC Comics is somewhat more complicated – the mantle was first held by Shiera Sanders Hall, Carter’s wife and immortal soulmate. The pair have worked together for decades, and their complicated pasts were subverted multiple times in the Silver Age of comics and beyond, eventually creating another Hawkgirl named Shayera Hol.
Both are later succeeded by Kendra Saunders, a young Latina woman and member of the Chiera family who develops Hawkman powers when Shira’s spirit literally enters her body. She’s been a consistent member of teams like JSA, Justice League, and Birds of Prey ever since.
