The Rock Confirms He’s Playing Villain Black Adam In ‘Shazam’
Can you smell what The Rock is cooking?
For literally years, Dwayne Johnson has been teasing his involvement in a DC Comics/Warner Bros. movie, going as far as to suggest he could play either the heroic Shazam (think Superman but with magic fueled powers), or the villainous Black Adam (same as Shazam, but evil) in a movie that most thought would be announced at San Diego Comic-Con in July.
That particular announcement didn’t come to pass, but the famously magnanimous star has clearly been bursting at the seams to tell the world just who he will be. Turns out, it’s not the heroic Shazam, he's going to play the other guy...
"Kneel at his feet or get crushed by his boot." My honor to become.. #BlackAdam #TheAntiHero #DCComics
looks like the people who knew he wouldn't be Shazam were right.
