- Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam Will Star In His Own Solo Film

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has long been a headliner, but Black Adam isn’t — that is, until now. Deadline reports that DC’s “Shazam!’ has been split into two films, with Black Adam getting his own solo movie. Though there are no other details about the “Black Adam” film at this time, this is likely the “big thing” that “Shazam!” producer Hiram Garcia teased last week.

In development since the early 2000s by New Line Cinema, “Shazam” had seemingly stalled in 2013, only for Johnson to confirm the following year that he’ll star as Black Adam. Warner Bros. then made it official with the 2014 announcement of an ambitious 10-film slate based on DC Comics properties, including “Shazam.” That movie is targeted for 2019 release, though it is unclear if “Black Adam” will disrupt Warner Bro.’s earlier schedule.


Interesting, potentially positive development. Good way to introduce the villain/anti-hero Captain Marvel will presumably be forced to face. Exploits the modern Black Adam story to its fullest. Alleviates pressure for casting Captain Marvel, which is arguably a whole lot harder at this point.

please be good please be good please be good

Black Adam has become my favorite DC character. I really hope the Rock has the acting chops to do the character justice, but I have my doubts. Sure he looks like the character, but I really hope this movie doesn't turn into The Scorpion King + super powers.
