Sarah Shahi celebrated the start of Black Adam's production and further alluded to her casting in the film as Adrianna Tomaz.
"Today is my first day filming #blackadam. I was cast in this role a year ago. I've had ups, downs, lefts and rights. They all led me here," Shahi wrote on Instagram. "Very proud to represent my fellow middle eastern brothers and sisters as Adrianna. Let's continue to lift each other up as we tell each other's stories. Human stories. Connecting stories. Stories we all have inside of us."
Previously, Shahi hinted at her Black Adam character's identity with another Instagram post of three DC comics involving Black Adam, two of which featured Adrianna as the superhero Isis. Chronologically, Isis debuted in 1975's The Secret of Isis TV show as the secret identity of Andrea Thomas, which ran for 22 episodes alongside the 1974 Shazam! series and even crossed over with Shazam! for three episodes. Renamed Adrianna Tomaz in DC comics, she would go on to become Adam's bride and, upon receiving the Amulet of Isis from him, gained superhuman powers like flight, strength and the ability to wield various elements.
