It’s ironic that while Black Adam is one of Shazam’s greatest adversaries, there haven’t been any concrete plans for these two to team up in the DC Extended Universe. There was a time when Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam should have been the Shazam! main antagonist of the film, but it was ultimately decided that he should direct his own film first, which was released in October. Soon after black adamHowever, during Johnson’s launch, it was reported that Johnson isn’t a fan of Shazam, and now another story has surfaced, fueling his alleged dislike for the world’s most powerful mortal, who will soon return to Shazam! fury of the gods.
For context, the new DC Studios is being led by James Gunn and Peter Safran, the latter of whom produced 2019. Shazam!. Dwayne Johnson has previously been said to have a “thinly veiled contempt” for Shazam, meaning he “probably doesn’t like the idea that the boss of him is now the guy who produces” this particular DC film franchise. Cut to today, The Wrap reported that Umberto González shared Chirping in which Johnson turned down an appearance Shazam! fury of the gods when requested. This information should by no means be taken as official, but it is accurate, so it’s further proof that Johnson wants nothing to do with Shazam.
although the black adam The film featured the title hero telling the world “Shazam!” transform and Djimon Hounsou’s Shazam was seen granting powers to Teth-Adam along with the other members of the Wizarding Council, this is where Adam’s ties to the modern day Shazam, aka Billy Batson, played by Asher Angel end. younger civilian version. form, and by Zachary Levi in his superhero form. Instead, Black Adam first faced Justice Society members Hawkman, Doctor Fate, Cyclone, and Atom Smasher in his theatrical debut, later teaming up to battle Sabbac. Conversely, Black Adam was teased in the Shazam! movie as Shazam’s former champion wizard who unleashed the seven deadly sins thousands of years ago, although that story doesn’t match what we’ve seen unfold in the black adam movie.
Dwayne Johnson has previously admitted that he pushed Black Adam into getting his own film because he felt it would be a “disservice” to tell that character’s origin story alongside Shazam. This makes sense to some extent considering how Black Adam’s profile has grown over the past few decades due to his transition from full-blown supervillain to antihero, but it’s also become clear over the years. Shazam hasn’t quite been the superhero with the hood that Johnson wants Black Adam to fight for years. Instead, this space belongs to Superman, and Henry Cavill has even appeared as the Man of Steel black adamThe final credits scene. Unfortunately, with multiple Cavill Superman appearances canceled and James Gunn now writing a Superman reboot, that showdown will never happen.
As for the overall future of Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam, while there are plans to make a sequel, that would now be considered “unlikely” given the first film’s box office performance. During, Shazam! fury of the gods It will follow the Shazam family battling Hespera, Kalypso and Anthea, the daughters of Atlas, one of the mythological figures from whom the heroes draw their powers. The sequel will be released on March 17, 2023, but with all the changes with the upcoming DC films that take place (including wonder woman 3 it doesn’t happen anymore), who knows if we will Shazam! 3?
