Dwayne Johnson may not get to play Black Adam again<\/a>, but someone from that movie may get to reprise their role in the new DC movie universe.<\/p>\n

During a recent interview with GQ<\/a>, Pierce Brosnan said he\u2019s more than willing to play Doctor Fate<\/a> again, should the call come: \u201cI enjoyed that, the philosphy of that character very much, and I would be open to it.\u201d Interestingly, he then told GQ how he heard \u201cthat Fate was going to have his own show, or his own movie. I\u2019ve heard that he\u2019s going to be in the next\u00a0Superman<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Days after\u00a0Superman\u00a0came out this past July, James Gunn told the Happy Sad Confused podcast<\/a> he was \u201cpretty sure\u201d Doctor Fate was in the mural seen in the Hall of Justice, or at least the Justice Society in general. (Kent Nelson, the incarnation played by Brosnan, is one of its original founding members in the comics and other incarnations.) Once we got a clearer look<\/a> at the mural, it turned out the man fans speculated was him was actually Maxwell Lord, but Gunn\u2019s comment still means Fate is part of this universe\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

Whether this means Doctor Fate actually is part of 2027\u2019s Man of Tomorrow,\u00a0we\u2019ll have to wait and see. Yeah, the guy died in Black Adam, but if Brosnan\u2019s back and wearing the Helmet of Fate again, would anyone really complain?<\/p>\n
