A few days ago, it was announced that Quintessa Swindell joined the new “Black Adam” movie cast. The character Quintessa is set to play is named Maxine Hunke, also known as Cyclone. Cyclone is a junior member of the Justice Society with the power to manipulate wind and sound. It was previously announced that Aldis Hodge had been cast as Hawkman, while Noah Centineo will play Atom Smasher. Both characters are members of DC’s Justice Society. Sarah Shahi has also been cast as Adrianna Tomaz.
The comic character of Cyclone was drawn up to be a white redhead initially. When Dwayne Johnson announced the casting of Quintessa, who just happens to be a person of color and non-binary, Twitter and social media cheered.
