Dwayne Johnson Starring in 'Black Adam' - CelebrityDose

Dwayne Johnson’s DC passion project “Black Adam” will finally open in theaters this October, but the character could’ve debuted in 2019’s “Shazam!”

“The Rock” Johnson’s status as one of the world’s biggest action stars, many find it surprising that he’s waited this long to star in a comic book movie franchise.

Black Adam and Shazam have always been foes in the comic books, having received their superpowers from the same wizard.

Johnson was first linked to the role a decade ago when he entered talks to play the villain in the movie that eventually became 2019’s “Shazam!”

Getty

The duo have a shared history in the comics, so it seemed fitting to launch their big screen iterations together in one film. Johnson disagreed.

“When the first draft of the movie came to us, it was a combination of Black Adam and Shazam: Two origin stories in one movie,” Johnson  said.

‘We can’t make this movie like this. We would be doing Black Adam an incredible disservice.’  Johnson further added.

Warner Bros. ultimately agreed, and now Johnson is headlining the standalone “Black Adam” tentpole this fall.
