Quintessa Swindell to portray DC superhero Cyclone in the Dwayne Johnson-starring movie Black Adam

The cast of DC’s upcoming Black Adam just got even cooler.

Quintessa Swindell, of Voyagers and Trinkets fame, has been cast in the role of Cyclone in the comic book film adaptation.

The actor, 23, joins Hollywood megastar Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson in the film, which is built around antihero Black Adam within the Shazam universe.

Cyclone, also known as Maxine Hunkel, first appeared in DC comic book series Justice Society of America volume 3 issue #1 in 2006. 

Her powers include the ability to harness wind power, thereby making it easy for her to fly.

She is also able to manipulate sound waves.

Quintessa took to Instagram to announce the news Monday, saying in their caption, ‘Mama would be so proud. Beyond thankful to be joining the Black Adam family.’ They added a heart emoji.

Johnson reposted the announcement to his Instagram as well.

Black Adam, currently in preproduction, will also star actor Aldis Hodge as Hawkman along with Noah Centineo in the role of Atom Smasher. 

Deadline reports that the film is set to go into production in Georgia early in the new year.

Shazam! starring Zachary Levi was released last year, and a sequel to that film is in the works. 

It is believed that Dwayne’s Black Adam standalone will come out first, and then Shazam! 2 (currently titled Shazam! Fury of the Gods) will see the pair of DC heavyweights battle it out in 2023.

Black Adam is being directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, who also helmed the Johnson-starring Disney movie Jungle Cruise, to be released next summer, as well as the Blake Lively shark movie The Shallows from 2016.

Quintessa is an up-and-coming performer who has also appeared in the first season of HBO’s Euphoria, and is currently shooting that network’s acclaimed series In Treatment alongside Uzo Aduba.
