Sarah Shahi spoke with The Hollywood Reporter on October 21, 2022, to discuss all things "Black Adam." She even touched on the surprising return of Henry Cavill as Superman, revealing that even though she plays a prominent part in the movie, she went the entirety of filming without knowing of his cameo. "It was mind-blowing. When we all saw that moment, everybody's arms went up in the air. Everybody was just jumping out of their seats. They're really good at holding on to secrets over there," she said of her experience watching the scene for the first time at the "Black Adam" New York premiere.
As it turns out, Superman wasn't the only guest star Shahi was surprised to see pop up in "Black Adam." For one, Viola Davis appears as the no-nonsense government agent Amanda Waller — a cameo that made Shahi very excited. She recalled to THR, "I didn't even know Viola Davis was in the movie until I saw the screening. I was just like, 'Holy s***. I'm in a movie with Viola Davis.'" Additionally, she was surprised by the presence of Jennifer Holland as well, who returned to the role of Emilia Harcourt that she previously took on in 2021's "The Suicide Squad" and the HBO Max hit series "Peacemaker."
If you'd like to see Sarah Shahi, Henry Cavill, Dwayne Johnson, and more in action in the DC universe, "Black Adam" is now playing in theaters everywhere.
