On April 5th, 2019 Dwayne Johnson will
make his tights debut on Warner Bros. Shazam where he will play the villain to
the yet uncast titular hero, or is it anti-hero.
Speaking to Total Film, Johnson says
he believes "Black Adam is going to grow into becoming an anti-hero," but adds that "It’s all written within the spirit
of respecting and paying homage to the comics. As we know, Black Adam started
out as a slave. When he’s given the powers, he utilised them. Then in the wake
of his powers, tragedy strikes, which turns his sentiment and tone in terms of
psychology."
Johnson's comments seem to indicate
that Black Adam will start as a villain in Shazam, but will eventually be more
fleshed out and turned into an anti-hero.
Johnson also reiterates that Shazam
is part of DC's shared cinematic universe, and adds that he wishes someday he
can face off against Ben Affleck's Batman or Henry Cavill's Superman.
"It was all agreed that the
worlds are all interconnected" he reaffirms. "One day you will see
Black Adam go at it with Superman or Batman or any of the DC characters. But
that said, there’s a great independence to Black Adam from the DC world,
allowing us to inject, not only viciousness, but also winking humour."
