Iranian-American actor, Omid Abtahi (The Mandalorian, American Gods, Argo, Better Call Saul) talks about voicing Hawkman in Justice Society: World War II available on VOD today, April 27 and on 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Combo Pack and Blu-ray May 11, 2021.

Abtahi has performed  in the World of Warcraft and Call of Duty videogame franchises and now makes his DC Universe Movies debut as Hawkman in Justice Society: World War II.

The Iranian born, Orange County native and Cal State University, Fullerton alumni and I joke around about the two biggest sports in Iran, which are soccer and wrestling, how we probably crossed paths at various Persian parties in our youth throughout Orange County, especially in Irvine and of course what it means to bring life to a Middle Eastern character like Hawkman, who is of Egyptian origins.

We also plan on getting some kebabs, tea and hookah once we can gather together again as California heads into the yellow tier.

Official Synopsis:

Justice Society: World War II finds modern-day Barry Allen – prior to the formation of the Justice League – discovering he can run even faster than he imagined, and that milestone results in his first encounter with the Speed Force. The Flash is promptly launched into the midst of a raging battle – primarily between Nazis and a team of Golden Age DC Super Heroes known as The Justice Society of America. Led by Wonder Woman, the group includes Hourman, Black Canary, Hawkman, Steve Trevor and the Golden Age Flash, Jay Garrick. The Flash quickly volunteers to assist his fellow heroes in tipping the scales of war in their favor, while the team tries to figure out how to send him home. But it won’t be easy as complications and emotions run deep in this time-skipping World War II thriller.
