Black Adam

10 Things You Need To Know About Black Adam

For the last few years, practically the only thing we knew about the long-mooted Shazam! movie was that Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson would be appearing as villain Black Adam. Through various interviews, Johnson spoke of his interest in the character as an anti-hero, which suggested that DC were making him the star of the show. Now, that's been confirmed, as we learned this week that the actor will be getting his own Black Adam solo movie.

As there have only been three movies released under its banner so far, we’re still unsure what the direction of the DCEU will be going forward. Will all the movies be totally connected, or will there be smaller sub-franchises that don’t crossover with the rest? For instance, will we get to see Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam face-off against Henry Cavill’s Supes or Ben Affleck’s Batman?

In case you hadn’t guessed from the title up above, Johnson guaranteed in an interview that such a fan-baiting crossover will definitely happen at some point. He said the following:

“One day you will see Black Adam go at it with Superman or Batman or any of the DC characters.”

Can’t get more assertive than that, right? Johnson’s statement was supported by the fact that Cavill snapped a picture of the two together on Instagram and signed it “from Superman and Black Adam.” Will Supes show up in Black Adam, or does Johnson have a cameo in Justice League? We’ll have to wait and see, but there’s also a rumour going around that he’ll turn up in Aquman….
