Came for Black Adam, always staying for Doctor Fate frfr
Dr. Fate is older than Dr. Strange. Dr. Fate first appeared in 1940. Dr. Strange first appeared in 1963.
Hawkman and Dr. Fate were great in this film!

6:45 remember in the first Shazam movie the wizard told this exact story of him and the others had a champion before until he turned evil and released the seven deadly sins that was black Adam and they imprisoned him. Maybe this is a continuation of that story.
