Details are finally made known about the Dwayne Johnson Shazam movie which sees the Rock starring as the villain/anti-hero Black Adam.
Johnson’s producing partner and manager, Dany Garcia, tells Newsweek that Shazam is set within the DC Justice League universe, and that Shazam won’t be featuring the same producers that worked on Batman Vs. Superman and Suicide Squad, which have been receiving the blame for those two movies’ poor performances.
“Shazam is to live in the same world [as the other films] but we have incredible autonomy over this brand and franchise,” Garcia said. “We are working with a different team, different producers, directors… it’s a different set-up. We don’t feel fettered by, or constrained by, the successes or failures and challenges of the other projects. That was a key component to our participation—that we be able to control the tone and the voice, and do it the way we want to.”
“It needs to be of the world,” Garcia continued. “You’ve got Justice League, Wonder Woman with a different director, so you’re going to see different points of view. I think by the time we land with [Shazam] we’ll fit nicely within the world that’s been created, but not such a shorthand relationship. [It’ll be] enough that people say, ‘Oh, this is within the family,’ but the culture will be a little different.”
Garcia also let it be known they are presently getting the Shazam script right as they want to made sure they get the tone right for Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam.
Regarding Shazam being set within the DC Justice League universe, Dwayne Johnson did call out Henry Cavill’s Superman on two occasions on social media. Johnson posted that Black Adam vs. Superman wouldn’t happen in the first movie, “but nothing would make me happier. [Superman has] it comin’.” Johnson also posted a pic of himself a while back wearing a Superman t-shirt teasing, “No capes.”
Shazam currently has an April 5, 2019 release; no director or other actors are attached as of yet.

Check out a super cool piece of fan art of Dwayne Johnson as Black Adam as The Rock stars as the potential villain/ant-hero in the upcoming Shazam movie.
The art comes from the stevedesignsthings Instagram page.
Not much has been said as of late regarding the Shazam movie other than Dwayne Johnson stating it’s going to happen sooner rather than later. Shazam is also being released under WB’s New Line Cinema wing and seems to be more independent of the Justice League movies. No director is attached, and it’s thought Shazam may be released in 2019 (or sooner according to Johnson’s words).
Toby Emmerich, president of New Line, did offer the following back in May:
“[Shazam! is] a DC comic, but it’s not a Justice League character, and it’s not a Marvel comic. The tone and the feeling of the movie will be different from the other range of comic book movies. [It] will have a sense of fun and a sense of humor. But the stakes have to be real.”
Shazam has also been described as “bad ass fun” by a producer on the movie.

While promoting the James Bond Spectre film, Dave Bautista talks about the potential look of Drax in Guardians of the Galaxy 2.
Bautista offers Drax “might look a little different” as he has told Marvel he wouldn’t mind changing up the tatoos or even growing a beard.
Drax, in the comics, has seen a couple of different variations ranging from the original design to the Annihilation version used in the movie.
Bautista also offers his Drax would crush fellow WWE star Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam over at DC, and he recently said he is praying for a crossover with the Avengers.

Could we see Henry Cavill in Shazam?
Well, if things keep going the way they are going, Cavill may want to suit up as Big Blue to take on Black Adam Dwayne Johnson.
Johnson posted the following image of himself on Instagram wearing a Superman t-shirt.
Things get good when we see what The Rock wrote as he calls out Superman.
No capes. #OneFineDay #BlackAdamIGKSDITD #TethDNA
We see Johnson is making fun of Superman for the fact he wears a cape, and Johnson also says Black Adam Is Going To Kick Superman Directly In The Dick.
Those are some big words!
Dwyane Johnson is set to play Black Adam in the Shazam movie, which is due out in 2019.
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:20802:]]
Dwayne Johnson‘s latest action-packed blockbuster debuted this weekend with San Andreas, which looks to be the #1 movie at the box office.
Johnson will also be portraying the anti-hero/villain of the Shazam movie with Black Adam.
Now thanks to a reddit user, it’s become known San Andreas has a Black Adam Easter Egg.
Spoiler follows for San Andreas.
Johnon’s co-star in San Andreas, Alexandra Daddario, plays Blake and in once scene refers to Dwayne Johnson as “this generation’s Adam, but black.”
Obviously, it’s a reference to Johnson as Black Adam.
Who knows though, maybe it’s a hint that San Andreas director Brad Peyton will be reteaming with Dwayne Johnson on Shazam as well.
Shazam has a planned 2019 release date, but on more than one occasion, Dwayne Johnson has stated the movie will be released earlier; as of yet, no actor has been cast as Shazam.
(It probably should be noted San Andreas is a WB movie as well.)
While promoting his latest movie San Andreas, Dwayne Johnson offers a tidbit about the DC Shazam movie.
While Johnson previously said we might get to see him suit up as Black Adam earlier than the originally announced 2019 release date, in the video above Johnson says it is going to be released earlier.
“No. I don’t think it’s going to be that far away,” Johnson says while shaking his head. “I think it may be… It shou– It’s going to be earlier than that. I don’t think 2019.”
Johnson also again offered that Black Adam will start off as more of a villain as Black Adam’s roots don’t feature the character becoming a superhero automatically.
“The cool thing is, with Black Adam, is he’s an anti-hero, and his core comes from he was a slave. When you have that foundation, I think, as a hero – you weren’t born into greatness – he wasn’t born into greatness like superheroes generally are. He was born in a humble way and he was enslaved. I can’t wait.”
Johnson’s San Andreas hits May 29th.
Check out comments Dwayne Johnson made about playing Black Adam in the upcoming DC movie Shazam.
Johnson attended the world premiere for his latest action flick San Andreas and offered Black Adam is “fueled by a righteous anger.”
“I can’t wait. He’s a unique type of villain. For the fans out there that know the mythology, when you start off as a slave, you’re not in a good mood! There’s a heavy wrath that a lot of people have to pay. But when it’s fueled by a righteous anger, if you will, like Black Adam, then you open up to what the character can be, which I’m really excited about. That’s why he’s not just a straightforward bad guy.”
Shazam presently has a 2019 release, but Johnson said a while back it’s possible it could get moved up. Presently, no director is attached or actor for Shazam has been cast as of yet.
Dwayne Johnson stars in San Andreas, which has a May 29th release.
You can watch more in the video above including The Rock talking his future with WWE.

With Dwayne Johnson being the People’s Champ, why did the fan-favorite actor go with Black Adam for the DC Shazam movie?
Johnson explains to Digit Spy that Black Adam is a character he loves and has been drawn to for the past ten years.
I felt ultimately, and this is with all due respect to Shazam, Billy Batson, it’s a mythology that I love, it’s been with me for almost 10 years now. What made me choose Black Adam was I just inherently felt Black Adam was more interesting to me, because I felt like there were more layers to Black Adam, starting out as a slave and then ultimately becoming the anti-hero who we enjoy today.
Shazam has a 2019 release, though Dwayne Johnson did recently state the release date might be moved up.
The actor playing Shazam has yet to be cast as well.
We just heard Dwayne Johnson talking how Black Adam may eventually join the Justice League, and now Johnson offers more insight to the bad guy soon to be turned anti-hero.
Dwayne Johnson offers a casting update for Shazam as well as more on Black Adam‘s transformation from a bad guy to anti-hero.
Here’s the text:
“I can’t wait to hear more casting news. No, we haven’t picked a Shazam yet,” Johnson offers. “We have been working on the script. Half the scripts already come in. Fantastic. Very excited about it. And what I’m really excited about is, because, again, I’ve lived with this character, and this opportunity for almost 10 years now, so it’s like, in my DNA – I’m like a little kid – and it’s the opportunity to create his journey. But his journey has to start out properly – and starting out properly is not him being a hero – that’s got to be earned. He starts off as a slave, and he’s pissed off and people are going to pay, but eventually down the line he’ll become an anti-hero.
“I’m not quite to sure yet,” Johnson replied when asked if they are looking to cast separate actors for the role of Shazam. There is a lot of opportunity, I think, with technolog. Maybe do a cool face replacement like they did in Captain America. Maybe do something like that. Maybe cast two separate actors. I’m not quite too sure.”
Shazam is due out in 2019, but may be released earlier.
[[wysiwyg_imageupload:19741:]]
Putting the puzzle pieces together: 1) It is Dwayne Johnson, and 2) Black Adam is being said to be an anti-hero and not a straight-up villain; so it’s not a stretch to think that at some point down the line Johnson’s Black Adam could lean more toward the superhero side of things.
That is pretty much what IGN says to Dwayne Johnson in the following video when they ask if Johnson thinks Black Adam could eventually join the Justice League.
Dwayne Johnson agrees, but also implies Black Adam has to go a more darker route to get there as he offers, “At first, daddy’s got to go to work,” which also hints at Black Adam kicking some butt and clashing with other heroes.
As it stands right now, Shazam has a 2019 release, but Dwayne Johnson also previously said that the movie might get an earlier release.
Here is the text of Johnson’s response.
I think so, and I think you always want to leave that creatively open, that he could join the Justice League, and I think that’s the fun part of creating this character right now and everybody involved, from studio, from New Line, to Warner Bros. as well, to the writer, our producing partners — you you definitely want to engage in his heroic side.
But that has to be earned, and with a mythology and the mythology of Black Adam starting off as a slave – because when you start off as a slave – just inherently, there’s things in your DNA — that piss you off [lughs]. And that’s the bottom line, so I think we have to respect and pay homage to the true mythology, and then the heroic side will come down the line.
But I think it’s important, and I feel we all feel it’s important and I believe the fans at IGN feel it’s important, to make sure the homage is paid at the beginning because then you have a stronger foundation to stand on, and so he will become an anti-hero, but at first — daddy’s got to go to work.
