Rumours suggest that Sarah Shahi could essay the character of Adrianna Tomaz / Isis, who becomes the love interest of Black Adam and an incredibly powerful superhero in her own way. The issues showcased in the picture supports the argument. Isis plays a pivotal role in both issues of 52, a storyline that helped reimagine Black Adam as the antihero he currently is. Deadline previously reported that Shahi will be portraying a university professor and freedom fighter leading the resistance in Kahndaq.

Sarah Shahi made her silver-screen debut in 2003 with Old School. She has been seen in movies like Rush Hour 3, Crossing Over, Static, Bullet to the Head, The Congress, Hangman, Bad Therapy, and more. Her appearance on television includes shows like The L World, Teachers, Life, Fairly Legal, Reverie, The Rookie, and others.

Black Adam will introduce the Justice Society of America (JSA) in the DCEU. The members of JSA are Atom Smasher, Hawkman, Doctor Fate, and Cyclone. Noah Centineo, Aldis Hodge, and Quintessa Swindell have been cast as Atom Smasher, Hawkman, and Cyclone, respectively, with the search for an actor to play Doctor Fate is going on. The JSA finds potential in the Rock as Black Adam and might be the one who helps him escape. The character was captive for thousands of years.
