"Dwayne Johnson has long been rumored to play a character in Warner Bros’ rapidly expanding DC movie universe. In a surprising revelation happening days before the yearly Casting Revelation Geek Orgy known as Comic-Con, Johnson appeared to confirm his participation in the DC franchise. “DC and I have been talking for a couple of years now,” said the Hercules star, clearly excited to talk about anything besides Hercules. “There’s a character out there that we’re gonna announce really soon, that I’m gonna play. "
After first explaining that he would not be playing Green Lantern–even though he badly wanted to incarnate the John Stewart version of the emerald superhero–Johnson notes that he’s playing someone with “the power of Superman.” He concludes: “Just say the word. That’s all I’m gonna say.”
“Power of Superman” is a clue; so is “just say the word.” As comic book fans know, the character originally known as Captain Marvel essentially has Superman-level abilities–abilities that are activated when he says the word “Shazam!”
Shazam is slated for his solo film in July 2016 and a possible appearance in the Justice League film, slated for 2017.
