WHAT THIS MEANS
Cyclone is a descendent of one of the earliest characters in DC Comics history, created as the granddaughter of the original Red Tornado from 1940. The character’s title is representative of her arsenal of wind and sound generating powers, which she has utilized as a member of the Justice Society of America since her own debut in 2006.
Cyclone will join the likes of Aldis Hodge’s Hawkman as the rest of the League is cast for this movie. Plot details are currently being kept under wraps, but it will be exciting to find out what their relationship is with The Rock’s classic anti-hero.
Swindell has made their name in the hit Netflix series Trinkets in addition to a run on the wildly popular Euphoria . They are currently filming the upcoming season of HBO’s In Treatment before beginning work in the upcoming DC Extended Universe epic.
Black Adam will begin production in early 2021, although it doesn’t hold a release date in Warner Bros.’ current schedule.
