Black Adam spoilers follow.
James Bond star Pierce Brosnan has opened up on his DC future following his debut in Black Adam.
The actor plays Kent Nelson aka Dr Fate, a member of the Justice Society of America (JSA) initially tasked to capture Dwayne Johnson's titular antihero. Take this as your final spoiler warning as we're discussing major plot points regarding Brosnan's future appearances in the role.
Towards the end of the film, Dr Fate sacrifices himself to save his friends and is murdered by Sabbac (Marwan Kenzari). Does this mean we won't get to see Brosnan in the role again? The door may still be open, according to the star.

In an interview with USA Today, Brosnan explained he had a talk with producer Beau Flynn, saying that "not everything is as it seems."
"So I think the door is open," Brosnan continued, hinting at a possible return as Dr Fate in a possible JSA series or film.
"I honestly have no idea where this will go. I just know I'm very proud of the work playing Dr Fate and honoured being part of the DC comic book world."

Like fans, the actor was a little disappointed to find out his character would get killed in the movie.
"Just as I begin my odyssey in the world of DC Comics, he dies," Brosnan said.
However, he felt Dr Fate's scene had an impact on him on a personal level.
"It resonated with me as a man who has lived 69 years and is on the cusp of his 70th year on the planet, and having seen friends pass before me, while being close to the passing of lives," Brosnan said.
"There was a deep poignancy."
Black Adam is out now in cinemas.
