“The world needed a hero. It got Black Adam.” Such is the tagline for Jaume Collet-Serra’s debut contribution to the DC movieverse with Warner Bros.’s latest tentpole effort starring Dwayne Johnson who’s been actively updating followers on social media since the film’s announcement. The first-ever feature film to explore the story of the DC Super Hero comes to the big screen under the direction of Jaume Collet-Serra (“Jungle Cruise”). Nearly 5,000 years after he was bestowed with the almighty powers of the ancient gods—and imprisoned just as quickly—Black Adam (Johnson) is freed from his earthly tomb, ready to unleash his unique form of justice on the modern world. It’s been about fifteen years since Johnson stepped up to mantle, and a lot has changed over at Warner since then now that the long-heralded Snyderverse has been uprooted from the studio’s slate. There’s certainly more DC to come with the Shazam […]

Dwayne Johnson’s BLACK ADAM Will Split SHAZAM In Two Movies

Lee B. Golden III

Long since the confirmation of actor Dwayne Johnson as Black Adam in New Line and DC Entertainment’s upcoming adaptation, Shazam, it appears that the film has undergone an evolution of sorts. A report from THR has otherwise confirmed that there will be two movies instead of one, thus granting Johnson his own spin-off following his recent upworthy meeting with DC Films head Geoff Johns. Shazam was originally confirmed for its installation in the DC Cinematic Universe in 2014 as DC announced its then-official line-up. Hailing from Fawcett Comics in 1939 as Captain Marvel, with ownership and rights evidently landing at DC Comics later on, Shazam was created by Bill Parker and C.C. Beck, telling of a Billy Batson, a young boy who could transform into the adult-sized hero by calling his name, acronymized with its letters standing for the names of ancient gods and heroes. Sharing Shazam’s universe, of course, […]

It’s high time the truth came out this week, long after comic book and movie fans were aching and itching for actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to just “say the word”, as he so eloquently put it in an interview with Total Film about a month ago. Plans are already underway to accumulate feature films based on famed DC Comics comic book characters, including Warner Bros. current production of Batman V Superman: The Dawn Of Justice. One other such film that’s been hyped like crazy is the upcoming production of Shazam, originally rooted at Fawcett Comics as Captain Marvel by artist C.C. Beck and author Bill Parker. As per a lawsuit at the time, Fawcett Comics relenquished the character and all Shazam-related characters to DC Comics between 1972 and 1991, including Black Adam who didn’t appear in the comic series until 1945 from Beck and writer Otto Binder.
