The news broke last October that Sarah Shahi had joined the cast of Black Adam as the film's female lead, and the Reverie actress has now teased her involvement (and quite possibly her character) with a new Instagram post.
Initial reports claimed that Shahi was in line to play Teth Adam's (Dwayne Johnson) wife Adrianna Tomaz, aka Isis, but all we know for certain is that her character is "a university professor and freedom fighter leading the resistance in Kahndaq." However, the comic books Shahi has chosen to showcase here might just confirm her role.
Isis factors significantly into both issues #13 and #16 of DC's 52 limited series, and the latter actually features her wedding to Black Adam.
The Jaume Collet-Serra-directed DC Comics adventure will also feature Justice Society members Hawkman (Aldis Hodge), Cyclone (Quintessa Swindell) and Atom Smasher (Noah Centineo). We still don't know who'll portray Doctor Fate. A rumor that WB might be considering a JSA movie did the rounds recently, but that will likely depend on whether Black Adam is a success.
Black Adam would already have commenced production if it wasn't for the industry-wide COVID-19 delays, but we recently found out that it's been taken off the studio's release schedule altogether and is currently undated.
