Blackhawk

Before the film’s arrival, it appeared that Steve Trevor would gather a team of men from all over the world to show that this was indeed a world war. This is exactly what happened, but the inspiration for one of these characters actually came from the comics.

Saïd Taghmaoui, who portrays Sameer, revealed prior to the movie’s release that his character shares a connection with the Blackhawk squadron. The squadron doesn’t currently play a role in the comics, but it was introduced in WW III, and showed that all nations were indeed involved in the war.

It all started with a single pilot who called himself Blackhawk. He attracted other pilots of various nationalities to his side to take down the Axis. Of course, we don’t know what role Blackhawk will play in subsequent DC Extended Universe movies (if at all), but this is yet another interesting Easter egg.
