In “Black Adam,” the Doctor Fate character sacrifices himself to help the other members of the JSA defeat the evil demon Sabbac that is destroying the city of Kahndaq. In the emotional scene, the all-knowing, all-seeing Fate no longer sees a future for himself on his way to his inevitable demise.
After creating a new fan-favorite character, the film effectively completes its journey with Doctor Fate actor Pierce Brosnan, or so it seemed. Proving that his fate may not indeed be sealed, Dwayne Johnson tweeted about Doctor Fate in response to a fan who stated that Fate is a favorite character of his in the film. The Rock said in a cryptic and exciting response, “Dr Fate is one of my favorites too and you will see more of him. I promise.”
Brosnan, in a piece from USA Today, said that “not everything is as it seems,” in regard to the end of his Doctor Fate character in the DCEU. He continued, “So I think the door is open. I honestly have no idea where this will go. I just know I’m very proud of the work playing Dr. Fate and honored being part of the DC comic book world.”
