Shazam!
The buff may not get to see Shazam in the upcomingBlack Adammovie , but they ’ll have an even bigger piece of the DC Universe to appear forward to , now that the film ’s star has confirm rumors that theJustice Society of Americaplays a role in his story .
The information comes straight from Dwayne ' The Rock ' Johnson , last able to discuss the film ’s yield after more than a decade in the role . The original plan was to bring out his anti - hero inShazam!as the magical submarine ’s longtime challenger and arch - nemesis , but the plan was finally shift , giving Black Adam his own origin moviefor a star like Johnson , and probationary programme to have the him and Billy Batson face off in a next crossover voter flick . But even without Shazam on board , Black Adamwon’t be short on DC Comics superheroes .
The check comes after months of rumors , suggestingBlack Adamwould includeJSA torpedo like Hawkman and Stargirl , and Johnson himself teasingmore DC cameo inBlack Adamlong before . While speaking with Screen Rant during pressure for the upcomingJumanji : The Next Level , Johnson confirmed thata battle with Shazam genius Zachary Levi wo n’t happen– but did reveal the superhero team that his film will introduce to the DCEU :
Screen Rant : Do you remember we ’ll see Black Adam fight Shazam in that moving-picture show , or is that later on down the line ?
Dwayne Johnson : Without giving too much by , it ’s not in the plan correctly now . I call up the glide path that we ’re blab out I feel really good about , and all of the film maker do too as well . It ’s an origin story and that ’s where we start it and we take root it , and then we build out from there . Now , not to say Shazam is n’t on my radar . Of course Shazam is , but so is all of DC .
JSA was my jam growing up .
Dwayne Johnson : JSA . We will introduce you to that , the creation to JSA .
For now it ’s ill-defined how thecomic origin of Black Adam will changeto make a JSA - epoch debut the simplest . With all evidence direct the note of the film andits managing director Jaume Collet - Serra’sstyle leaning towards dangerous undertaking , and away from an intensely dark , serious , or violent one , an ancient beginning completely true to Adam ’s may not make . While those ancient origin seemed to be confirm intheShazam!movie ’s history object lesson , variations of his comic record chronicle have see Adam reincarnate in the body of a modern descendent . Either path , it seems that these bomber will only be the tip of the iceberg lettuce for whatBlack Adamwill be lend to the future of DC ’s movies . AssumingJSAis bound for another moving-picture show appearance .
