Dwayne Johnson teases Black Adam role for WB’s Shazam









We’re still four years away from the release of Shazam, but that isn’t stopping Dwayne Johnson from talking about his role of Black Adam in the film. Though Adam has been an arch-enemy of Shazam in the source material for a number of years, the character has taken on more of an “anti-hero” role in recent years which Johnson says will translate into his performance in the film. Speaking on Twitter, Johnson had this to say about it:








Jack the Giant Slayer scribe Darren Lemke is currently penning the script for Shazam, which is set to be released April 5, 2019, just a month before Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War Part II. The film tells the story of teenaged Billy Batson, who transforms into the superhero when he says the magic word “Shazam!”

Dwayne Johnson teases his take on Black Adam in Shazam, plus DC Connection









Given all of the other superhero movies coming out in the next few years, it’s easy to forget that a live-action version of Shazam is on the way and that Dwayne Johnson will be playing the antagonist Black Adam. Speaking with Total Film (via Games Radar), Johnson opened up about what he hopes to achieve with the character in the film.

“I think Black Adam is going to grow into becoming an anti-hero,” Johnson said. “It’s all written within the spirit of respecting and paying homage to the comics. As we know, Black Adam started out as a slave. When he’s given the powers, he utilised them. Then in the wake of his powers, tragedy strikes, which turns his sentiment and tone in terms of psychology.”

And as if there was any doubt, Johnson confirmed that the Shazam feature will be tied into the larger DC Cinematic Universe, and that we may see him go up against Henry Cavill’s Superman and Ben Affleck’s Batman.

“It was all agreed that the worlds are all interconnected… One day you will see Black Adam go at it with Superman or Batman or any of the DC characters. But that said, there’s a great independence to Black Adam from the DC world, allowing us to inject, not only viciousness, but also winking humour.”

Will Superman appear in the Shazam movie?









In celebration of Christmas yesterday, Dwayne Johnson took to Instagram to reveal a special guest at his home – none other than Superman himself, Henry Cavill! Johnson posted a photo of the pair along with the caption:

“Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Black Adam and Superman. Today we drink like gentleman and come together as friends. We’re excited for what the future brings. #DangerousGentlemen #DCWorldsWillCollide”

The “DC worlds will collide” hashtag is interesting since it appears to tease that Superman will appear in the upcoming Shazam movie, in which Johnson will play the film’s antagonist, Black Adam. Superman and Black Adam have fought each other a handful of times throughout the DCU, and since they have comparable power levels, it’s always an even match-up. Many will remember the 2010 short Superman/Shazam!: The Return of Black Adam, which featured the two heroes fighting the villain.

It remains to be seen when this match-up could happen on the big screen, as the Shazam movie is still without a director.
