SHAZAM VS BLACK ADAM MOVIE

It's better to let audiences meet this specific Theo-Adam before he and Billy Batson's super heroic alter-ego throw down.

can keep Black Adam (mostly?) out of Fury of the Gods because Shazam earned rave reviews and $366 million on a $90 million budget. Whether he'll go full-baddie in later films, I cannot say, but it won't be the first time Johnson played a sympathetic hero who would eventually go full-evil ( The Scorpion King, which took place before The Mummy Returns). I'm presuming that's the plan for the Dwayne Johnson movie. Black Adam title fight either in Black Adam 2 or (more likely) Shazam 3.īlack Adam, initially a corrupted, ancient-Egyptian variation on Shazam/Captain Marvel (no, not that Captain Marvel), became the arch-nemesis of Shazam and his 'Marvel family.' However, recent revamps and reboots (notably the 52 DC Comics relaunch in the mid-2000s) have fashioned him into an anti-hero who broke bad following a personal tragedy. In that sense, yeah, I'd argue the Zachary Levi films and the Dwayne Johnson flicks are likewise being used partially to set up the Shazam Vs. Kong was sold as the glorified pot of gold at the end of the MonsterVerse rainbow, not a significant steppingstone to a Destroy All Monsters-like event spectacular. That's without getting into all the Justice League setup (including intros for Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash), which would have existed within three movies (plus Wonder Woman) instead of one.

It's possible a Batman movie would have out-grossed Man of Steel while Man of Steel 2 outright fumbled, leading to a revived Batman v Superman. I'm not going to pretend that circumstances would have been identical for DC Films had they followed this specific plan. 388583 04: The Scorpion King (played by The Rock) relishes battle in 'The Mummy Returns.'
