Meanwhile, Smith looked resplendent in a black sequined dress that accentuated her legs and her strappy black open-toe heels. The brunette beauty added a black velvet jacket to complement her husband's attire and matched her dress with a black sequined clutch. Her large diamond earrings glistened as she wore her long brunette tresses parted at the side and cascading down her shoulders, the Daily Mail reported.

It's worth noting that 'Black Adam' will mark the first time Pierce has suited up as a superhero for a comic book franchise, although it could have happened decades ago. The acclaimed actor sat down on Tuesday with Jimmy Fallon on 'The Tonight Show' to talk about his first foray into the superhero genre. At one point, Pierce revealed how he was up for Batman in the 1980s, but apparently bungled the audition.

“It was the last thing on my mind to be playing a superhero like Doctor Fate,” Pierce told Fallon, noting he hasn't been approached a lot for such roles. "I mean, I went up for Batman way back in the day when Tim Burton was doing it. Obviously, I didn’t get the job."

The actor said he embarrassed himself at the audition because he just didn't understand the appeal of Batman at the time. "I remember saying something stupid to Tim Burton, I said, ‘You know I can’t understand any man who would wear his underpants outside his trousers.’ But there you go," Pierce quipped.



 

The Irish actor also sparked laughter from the audience as he described the experience of his 'Black Adam' character's bulky costume. "Everyone wants to know what it was like putting on the costume. What was it like putting on the helmet? You can't see a thing! It's darkness," he remarked. Meanwhile, he also showered praise on costar Johnson, calling him a "magnificent fellow." Pierce added, "He's kind of monolithic and beautiful and owns this role."
