After a slow start Warner Bros. are finally making an effort to catch up with Marvel Studios. With nine movies dated between 2016 and 2020. Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice will be the first, with Justice League confirmed, and both Aquaman and Wonder Woman believed to be in the works.

It was confirmed earlier this week that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will play Black Adam in a Shazam movie, and so we thought now would be a good time to bring you up to date with everything you need to know about both characters as they look to share a movie within the next few years.

Shazam will be a big movie for Warner Bros. and DC Comics as they finally cast The Rock in a superhero role, beating Marvel to the punch and practically guaranteeing that it will be a box office hit.

So, what are you waiting for? You’ll know all about this movie in the time it takes to shout “Shazam!”

10. It’s Going To Be “Different” To Other Comic Book Movies

Shazam 1

Following the recent news that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson would indeed by playing Black Adam in a Shazam movie, New Line’s Toby Emmerich had a lot to say about the movie. “”The tone and the feeling of the movie will be different from the other range of comic book movies,” he revealed before adding that it “will have a sense of fun and a sense of humour. But the stakes have to be real.”

Perhaps most interesting though was what he revealed about Black Adam. We’re all expecting him to be the villain of the movie, but it could be that he’s more of an anti-hero as Emmerich went on to compare Adam to Johnson’s character from the Fast and Furious movies, stating: “I thought Dwayne’s take on the character, and the way that he saw Black Adam, was really compelling and fun.”

Could Black Adam be Warner Bros. and DC’s Loki?

  1. One note: Superman does not have a weakness to magic. He just doesn’t have any special protection against it. He is as vulnerable to magic as any other person, but no more vulnerable.

  2. Number 10 sounds like this is going to be a love-fest for Black Adam and a stroke-off to Geoff Johns’ ego.

    Number 9 is complete and utter garbage. The only issue Marvel had with DC over Captain Marvel was the use of the name on comic book covers. Geoff Johns declared that “Shazam” was a “better known” name than Captain Marvel, which is crap. FYI, Johns GOT RID OF Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles and Mercury, labeling them as “unnecessary to the mythos.”

    Number 8: so what? I think, with some cosmetic appliances, Oded Fehr would make a better Black Adam. He can actually act. The Rock plays only one “character”: the Rock.

    Number 7: ah, yes… ANOTHER book Johns “writes” (read: uses to PANDER to his fanboi base). FYI, if he has the “wisdom of Solomon,” it would COMPENSATE for any “inexperience.”

    Number 6: THAT is NOT Billy Batson; he’s a pale, twisted imitation of Billy. Billy Batson was a GOOD KID who SAW the wrong path EVERY DAY and REFUSED to follow it.

    I’m not even going to try to go through five through one. This whole article is proof that neither you, nor Johns, nor the people behind this crap knows the character (CAPTAIN MARVEL) OR his history.

  3. Which is, in and of itself, pretty vulnerable. If I have a literally magic bullet, I could shoot him as dead as a normal person.

  4. “Gave that title to Ms. Marvel not too long ago.” What? Was a LONG time ago.
