That’s pretty much in line with how the character is portrayed in the comics, as well. As Cyclone tells Atom Smasher at one point in the film, Doctor Fate’s powers are so intense, that Kent Nelson often seems “possessed” when wearing the helmet of Nabu, almost as if being Doctor Fate turns him into another entity entirely. Of course, that’s only the portion of the vision that we, the audience see, and it’s not clear whether Doctor Fate also envisions the solution here, or his actions later in the film are a direct attempt to change it. When touching the helmet, Nelson experiences a vision of a massive battle in Kahndaq with the demon Sabbac, and appears to witness the death of his teammate and old friend, Hawkman. We see Brosnan riding in a car, when the mystical (and according to the film, also alien!) helmet of Nabu materializes next to him.
The seeds for the ending of the film are planted midway through the film’s first act, during the introduction of Pierce Brosnan as Kent Nelson, aka Doctor Fate.
