Quintessa Swindell, who plays Cyclone in the upcoming DCEU blockbuster Black Adam, has confirmed that Cyclone shares the same origin story as her comic book counterpart.  Quintessa Swindell, who plays Cyclone in the next DC Extended Universe blockbuster, has previewed Cyclone’s accurate origin story from comic books. During an interview with Total Film, Swindell provided a history for the film adaptation of Maxine Hunkel that closely resembles that of her comic book counterpart. They asserted that “Cyclone has the ability to harness and control the wind.” “She wasn’t born with her abilities; rather, a scientist forced them onto her. As a result, she also possesses the technology necessary to manage nanobots in addition to her other abilities. If Vivienne Westwood had a superhero outfit, that would be it. It has a circus-like, theatrical, cool, and slightly punk feel about it.”

Would be a Mistake to do on Screen:

The notoriously convoluted past of Hawkman, Cyclone’s Justice Society of America comrade, will be simplified in Black Adam, according to director Jaume Collet-earlier Serra’s revelations. Collet-Serra affirmed that there won’t be any overt references to Hawkman’s various reincarnations in the film since doing so would be confusing to moviegoers who aren’t familiar with the comics. It would be a mistake, he continued, to lay out the specifics of how this particular piece of the winged superhero’s ability set operates before the character has had a chance to completely materialise on screen.

Shazam! spinoff Black Adam will debut just a few months before Shazam! wrath of the gods The film will follow Black Adam, an antihero from the past with Billy Batson-like abilities, as he grudgingly joins the Justice Society of America after spending 5000 years in prison. Black Adam, who has been a comic book character since the middle of the 1940s, is best known for being Shazam’s adversary. Johnson’s Adam, though, will skew more toward an antihero than a villain. Black Adam is still one of DC Comics’ less well-known characters, despite the fact that Johnson has been pursuing this position for well over a decade.

Not Another DCEU Origin Story Film Is Black Adam:

In the same interview, Collett-Serra added that Black Adam’s titular anti-hero will not follow the typical superhero origin narrative formula. He explained, “It’s not your normal superhero movie where a guy wants to be a superhero and gains the abilities, and then you spend the next 50 minutes attempting to figure out how the powers operate. In this film, Black Adam is introduced right away, and throughout the course of the narrative, the events that led up to them are gradually revealed.

This strategy was made possible in part by Dwayne Johnson’s, aka Black Adam, efforts. Recently, the actor reaffirmed that he “worked hard” in the beginning to persuade Warner Bros. to change its original intentions to introduce Black Adam and his comic book adversary Shazam in the same movie. Johnson said he felt it would have been a “disservice” to both characters to have their origin stories condensed into one film. He also felt he needed to “guard Black Adam’s merciless [and] highly violent tone as we built out [the DCEU].”
