Noah Centineo has been cast as Atom Smasher in the upcoming DC movie, Black Adam. Centineo, famous for his role as Peter in To All The Boys I've Loved Before and its subsequent sequel, will act alongside Dwayne Johnson in Black Adam as the DC hero, Atom Smasher, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

Centineo and Johnson will be directed by Jaume Collet-Serra. While this is Centineo's first time working with the director, Collet-Serra previously directed Johnson in Disney's The Jungle Cruise, due out next year.

Black Adam's villainous role in DC stories has evolved into something more anti-hero-like, although that take on the character isn't confirmed. Atom Smasher's involvement in the story is an unknown, but it was recently reported that Black Adam will bring the Justice Society of America to the screen, a team that has counted Atom Smasher among its members. The hero, born Albert Rothstein, is known for changing their atomic makeup to change his size and strength. In the DC Comics, Adam and Rothstein eventually formed a bond after the former joined the JSA's ranks.

Johnson recently said Black Adam hopes to begin filming in August or September. Beau Flynn of FlynnPictureCo. is producing Black Adam with Johnson and Dany and Hiram Garcia's Seven Bucks Productions. Black Adam joins Shazam! as part of DC's collaboration with New Line. We could be learning more at DC's upcoming virtual DC FanDome event.
