H50Europe 😯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I thought black actors were being held back by studio racism.
I’m sure it’s a good casting choice but also hope ppl won’t get upset if they cast a white person to play a colored role 🤷🏻♂️ can’t have different ideals for different times
My odds of watching this film just increased dramatically
Amazing 👏👏👏❤️
When did Hawkman become black?
He's not in talks anymore
Why do they keep taking perfect 'John Stewart Guys' and giving them jobs that are not 'Playing John Stewart' in a movie?
Lara_Holmes Mmm
🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Reminds me of Falcon in Captain America character .
Good for him
I would watch Aldis in anything. He is criminally underemployed
Ahem, I believe it’s Hawk-Person.
👍
Awesome!
And, why the eff not...? ✊
scarlet Jo plays a Robot with Japanese soul, the world goes nuts, a black actor plays an Egyptian role, Hollywood fans goes all out defending this is still diversity 🤣
He’s a great actor, and it’ll be cool to see the character get his moment on the big screen. Im definitely excited by this casting.
Hell yes. AldisHodge is amazing, and I can't wait.
Aldis Hodge doesnt even have wings. Wtf!
Also, although Hawkwoman isn't gonna be in this movie, the Hawks eternal love story is arguably the best romance in comics. Over and over for untold years, they have lived, loved, died and found one another again from life to life.
So... who’s playing Shayera? Cuz.....
itskeyon The same people mad at this are the same o e who are ok with the rock playing black adam
He better pack some pounds before shooting
wow black people can't have anything without people being mad about it or trying to steal it for themselves...look at Egypt itself for example 😉🤷♀️ it would be funny if it weren't so damn sad...you deserve it AldisHodge I hope many more great opportunities come ur way
I need Asian Robin and Johnny Sins as John Stewart
But he's, y'know, not... A bird.
Voodoo!!!
Should be played by an Egyptian. This is cultural appropriation.
Amazing casting!
Honestly, the only thing that I find kinda wierd is that based on the teaser, I thought that Hawkman would be white (Which would be ok)
I'm ok with this, Hawkman can have different races because he can reincarnate, we could literally have a whole movie with multiple actors as Hawkman in different eras because he can literally have any race (For example, he was japanese, then english, then american)
I'm okay with race swap. We got black canary BOP which is awesome, Jeffrey Wright is playing Gordon in The Batman which my fav casting, Jeffrey was truly incredible in westworld. Which jzt need good actors
The comments from the nitpickers, naysayers and or casual racists should be good for a laugh or 2.
Love this!
Bullshit racist race swapping needs to stop. I don't care if it's even the reincarnation background or not, the first on screen appearance of Hawk man is a black character? How many issues did he appear as white VS black?
Hawkman? What about John Stewart Green Lantern?
Wait is he playing Carter Hall?
Awesome! I can’t wait to see this film and everyone in it. I hope DC and every other studio brings in more talented actors like him. We can use bright, talented, and new faces for the screen because we’re gonna need the inspiration in the coming times.
I wanted him as John Stewart, but Hawkman will do. He’s one of the few actors who can go toe to toe with The Rock.
RIMESwithJ
I like Aldis and there is no way this Hawkman could be worse than the one on Legends of Tomorrow!
LeeLeeskeewee I approve this casting choice. BlackAdam Hawkman
Wait a second... That's not VancityReynolds. TheRock lied!
I wish Hawkman and Hawkgirl would just get their own movies with vandal savage as the main antagonist, they could hold it, especially if they added all the weight nth metal stuff in it, which would give them a reason to do batman who laughs and other DC metal stuff
Good ish
I agree,Another character ruined by political standards... he shouldn't be Hawkman he doesn't look like him, i don't care if he's the most talented actor in the world.. why they can't be loyal to the source material.
Why am I not surprised, ugh. 🤦🏽♂️ Pandering much?
❤️❤️❤️
Great casting. He was perfect in The Invisible Man so I'm excited for what he brings to DC.
Yayyyyyy!! Hope he gets it.
Hawkman for sure can be black. Now just waiting on DCComics to beat MarvelStudios to the first Hispanic Super Hero Movie. Unless Marvel decides to actually follow through with IamGabrielLuna as The Ghost Rider.
StephIsCold does he go hawk mode?
Okay.😊
Dude is going to have to get JACKED If he’s going to have to stand shirtless next to the The Rock
🙄
I am OK with this if he is the Prince. This better not be Carter. He is an amazing actor, but I am so tired of the inaccuracies in Hollywood. I want my characters brought to life accurately, so I hope he is Khufu. He would be perfect for that
Voodoo Tatum is on the rise! About time!
Nooooo AldisHodge! Producers and MarvelStudios are ridiculously going to dumb down his superb acting skills because they're deluded about TheRock as he is a cornball cash cow crapshoot. Least don't sign a COVID waiver either.
Some of you idiots need a history lesson Since Egypt was actually a multi ethnic hub back in the day the people were of different melanin shades just like wait for it Cleopatra look more like her Greek parents(white)
You know, I love people who say that the comics never say a character has to be a certain race while neglecting to remember that comics are a visual medium that literally shows you what a character looks like. It isn’t up to interpretation.
He was SO GOOD in The Invisible Man!!
Stay mad haters 😂
DCoficialista Shit....
Of course he is. It never ends.
Anyone mad about this because he's not identical to the comic reference image they've used: Hawkman was originally an Eqyptian Prince (not white) and he reincarnates so he could be absolutely any race. There are much more important topics to be upset about.
We need a Middleastern Dr Fate atleast
Get woke. Go broke. This movie is gonna be straight trash.
cw_spn really contained a lot of big actors. He played jarpad blood brother 😈
Okay!!!!! maybe I WILL watch this movie. Warner Bros, you got me this time!
Awesome! Love him! ❤️
I think of it as one of the alternate universes. I'm sure there's a white version of Cyborg somewhere in the Multiverse too lolbvs
Yes! Aldis
I have been a fan of Aldi's Hodge since the show Leverage
I feel like DC missed an opportunity to cast Aldis as...
Two Words: Ancient Egypt
Yasassss give that Sam Winchester kill more roles
Hawkman is egyptian, this is trash
Yas.
LETS GOOOOOO
Its official.
Excellent choice. I hope he gets it.
😒😒😒
Great actor 👏
Is the new thing to get pre-defensive at any movie announcement before there are even any negative comments? I haven’t seen one negative reaction to this but a lot of people freaking out and getting defensive regardless. Just enjoy the moment guys. Jeez.
I'm not racist , never was and never will be . But i had something else in my mind for hawk man that's all . And if you thought something , no i don't have problem with black it just shocked me 😐 i expected someone like tom hardy or so
Looking forward to this film even more, now!
Solid🔥
Sebab rangorang blg dah kebanyakan black people, skrg ku pengen Static yg main latin lalu ketemu sama Jaime yg juga latin!✊🏽
eichorstmp eichshu6 I liked this guy in the “The Invisible Man”
This is good i loved him on Friday night lights as Voodoo Tatum and everything else he has been in has been good he does a good job acting this is a nice get.
Meanwhile his Leverage character Hardison's screams of joy were heard all the way on the far side of Magellanic Clouds.
Love his headshot🔥
Another black guy!? Wouldnt it be better to just introduce John Stewart, Static Schock, or Black Lighting... yeah, this guy could do a perfect BL, especially considering it is against Black Adam.
pingpongflix People complaining about him being black clearly don’t understand that Egyptian itself isn’t a race. Literally any person can be Egyptian as long as they were born there. What happened to common sense?
I have no idea who that is.
unicorninkk Who’s winning today? It’s-a me
'This is fantastic for Aldis Hodge and Dwayne Johnson !!!'
NIIICEEE
The black Jeremy Renner
Fuck yes!!!!
To all the people that are mad I hope you also got mad when they casted Storm as a biracial woman, TWICE, after all if it's about accuracy, they no only changed her skin but her origin because Storm is an African princess
sarah_best16
Woot woot!
It would’ve been dumb to make an ancient Egyptian prince white. And I say this as a hawkman fan. People are so dumb.
Should have held out for marvel.
Apparently the editor of Hawkman is pleased with this casting decision. (repost bc I didn't mean that mention. Old people should not social media) At least according to their Twitter.
Some thing is off.
Phil_Lewis_ Is somebody mad
Yes please ! Best DC caracter ! Aldis would be pefect 😍😍😍😍
Nice! He was great in The Invisible Man!!
Im all for it!!! 💪🔥🙏Assuming this is true that is..
So we're getting tokenized hawkman? Tired of this shit
grandpachann
He's gorgeous and can act. I'll watch!
I don't want to be looked like a racist but I prefer to see Michael Shanks Falk Hentschel as Hanwkman in the Legends of tomorrow series.
I like the idea of him playing Hawkman. But if others don’t please don’t call them racist, they just disagree.
Nooooooo
GraceRandolph
AldisHodge as Hawkman is Inspired casting. He never caught on to the masses as well as other DCComic properties. His origin as a reincarnated 'Alien', Egyptian, pharaoh/warrior should provide enough reason to cast a Person of Color. Also, Hodge is talented actor, nuff said.
You tell all the guys in this feed that haven't any pussy before. They are worked up over AldisHodge playing this role of HawkMan
I'd prefer an Egyptian got the role tbh. Middle eastern people need to stop being looked at as terrorists and that would go a long way in helping that happen.
He's solid.
Now let’s see who gets casted as Hawkgirl!
he was a black man in his first life, stay mad❤️
Hawkman has always been an immortal being who keeps getting reincarnated and people are angry hes black. I can't.
I’ll definitely be watching this!
I love how people are whining about comic book accuracy, as if the white versions of Carter we've had have actually been any good. 🤷♀️
Who said he cannot be? His race isn't an important factor for his character. Many superheroes could be black without losing a thing.
ReignOfApril Loved him since I first saw him in Leverage. Happy to hear this good news.
I know nothing about the character but AldisHodge is good in everything.
Egyptians were black
ReignOfApril AshUnapologetic
sergioees Hawkgirl should be a black actress too then
Racist getting angry...
this is because of the oscar's bullshit requirements, isn't it?
Yes!
JerrellZod2 Was considering him for BlueMarvel! I’m onboard if this happens!
Yes! Tho I really want a hairy chest TBH
And here we go again, another race bending...
Everyone outraged by this, why are you outraged about The Rock playing a middle eastern character. If accuracy matters that much, then you should be pissed at that as well 🤷♂️
my god, what delight the racists foaming in the comments
Age of the Geek Baby. YES!!!
itskeyon Yt people mad
no please no -___________________-
Finally
yes please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! age of the geek baby!!!!! AldisHodge
AYEEEEEEEEEEEE
'WhY iS hE bLaCk?' Hawkman and Hawkgirl/woman are reincarnative characters If you don't understand, ref to Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra for the concept of reincarnation If someone argues there were no black people in Egypt, I'm gonna lose it🤣🤣
The negroes are taking over. We love to see it.
I FUCKS WITH IT
itskeyon I like that.
HE LOOKS NOTHING LIKE HAWKGUY! Don’t give me shit that he’s a character idgf
🤷♂️
Let's gooooooo
Great casting decision
Please and Doctor Fate
And if any character demands comic-accurate costuming with the right actor to wear it (or wear nothing from the waist up, as in this case), Hawkman is it....
That’s fantastic news!! Awesome actor
So how do i say this about comic book accuracy without triggering twitter?
BrokenGamezHDR_ this is one character I am okay with since it works with the lore of hawkman
I still feel they should have casted someone of Egpytian or Middle Eastern descent. He's traditionally been a reincarnated character from ancient Egypt. But maybe they're not doing that origin. I guess we'll have to wait and see 🤷🏿♂️
He was also in the tv show Leverage, which is currently filming a sixth season after finishing season 5 in 2012!!
Can’t be worse than the Arrowverse Hawkman
Cool as fuck!
Godaamn VancityReynolds
Hodge was brilliant in 'City on the Hill.'
Great choice! Hawkman and Hawgirl should be played by either Egyptians, black people or Arabs, because it's ethnically accurate, no more whitewashing! JanelleMonae for Hawgirl please 😍
YES DADDY! THATS A MIGHTY FINE CASTING! 😩
Hawkman is an immortal being who keeps getting reincarnated and people are angry hes black. I can't.
And Doctor Fate?
Very cool. This dude was GREAT in Invisible Man
GeekPride5 Great, stealing the role of Egyptian actor, thats why people like Mena Massoud can not find a job.
And Anna Diop as Hawkgirl. Ugh the excellence!
Perfect.
YESSS IM SO HAPPY HE LOOKS SO GOOD
itskeyon YEEEEE BOOIIIII
No hell no 👎👎👎👎
Love him i wanted hammer but love him so i am happy
But uhhh whos playing Kent Nelson. Thats the important casting question
Hawkman of the JSA Love the idea of seeing him in action So it'll be JSA vs Black Adam Cool I wonder if Hawkgirl will show up
DecodnLyfe
👍
Yessss
adalhouse Do it and give Hawkman a coherent story for once. Hawkman is a cluster of plot threads that get retconned constantly.
Race swap!
Perfect casting but never knew hawkman was a black character..🤔
That's wonderful! Oh I hope it goes well for AldisHodge
Cant waittt
An absolutely excellent choice!!
Nooooo. I want him in Wakanda.
At this point, it's just getting ridiculous.
Oh yes.. This is awesome.
AldisHodge is currently filming leveragetwo in NOLA right now.. Would love to hear more abt that too! And hey his buddy and fellow co-star of Leverage Leverage2 ChristianKane01 Would make a great action hero too! justsaying ChristianKane AldisHodge actionheros
Aldis Hodge would make a great Carter Hall/Hawkman!
Yess cool
He has such a beautiful eyes
He was great on Underground! Solid choice.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
👎🏿
Right Effin choice 👌
