Former James Bond star Pierce Brosnan has joined the cast of Dwayne Johnson's "Black Adam" movie.
The movie will be directed by 'Jungle Cruise' director Jaume Collet-Serra in which Johnson is playing the titular part.
The film is a spin-off to Warner Bros and New Line Cinema's "Shazam!" that featured actor Zachary Levi.
Brosnan, 67, has been cast in the role of Dr. Fate, a member of Justice Society, Johnson said in a post on Instagram. The actor also announced the news on Twitter.
"Mr @PierceBrosnanOfficial as the iconic and all knowing DR. FATE. I’m grateful to have such a talented, diverse and hungry cast. The hierarchy of power in the DC Universe is about to change..." the actor said.

The project will start production in April in Atlanta, Georgia.
