Black Adam: Dwayne Johnson would have rejected Shazam in the film

black adam : another disappointment for DC

Since creating its DCU, Warner Bros. has had some ups and downs in its project. Recently, the public has been expecting a lot from black adam, film focused on the nemesis of Shazam, superhero embodied by Zachary Levi. In particular because the super-villain is embodied by Dwayne Johnson, the undisputed star of Hollywood who, in recent years, has transformed most of the blockbusters in which he stars into commercial successes.

However, during the development of black adam and especially his promotion, we could see that Dwayne Johnson was determined that he wanted to be a central member of DC films. Between a certain creative control over the film (of which he is a producer) and a mad desire to bring back Henry Cavill as Superman, the former glory of American wrestling has done everything because his black adam OR THE DC movie that would resurrect the universe. Unfortunately the feature film was an artistic and commercial flop.

This failure sealed the fate of potential sequels black adam as well as Dwayne Johnson’s future within DC films. Thus, James Gunn and Peter Safran who are now in charge of directing the DCU have announced that they no longer want to use this character… or anyway, the version camped by Johnson. Although the latter continues to declare in various interviews that the film did well in theaters, unfortunately the numbers do not lie. And these negative numbers also concern, at least for the moment, the second part of Shazamrecently released.

Shazam fired by Dwayne Johnson?

According to the media The WrapDwayne Johnson allegedly turned down Zachary Levi’s camped character to make a standout appearance black adam. Indeed, according to the article, the sequence showed the JSA (Justice Society of America) led by Hawkman attempt to recruit Billy Batson aka Shazam. This passage would have been quite believable when we know that in the comics the two super characters are formidable enemies who wage a terrible battle.

However, it would appear that Dwayne Johnson didn’t want this confrontation, preferring to see Black Adam fight Henry Cavill’s Superman. More, The casing adds that this scene was meant to be reused in Shazam: Rage of the Gods. Only, once again, Dwayne Johnson would refuse. David F. Sandberg would then have had to edit his post-credits scene. This information (or bomb) should be taken with tweezers, not all parties have yet expressed themselves to confirm it or not. However, Zachary Levi didn’t stop to broadcast the article on its networkswriting in the caption: “The truth will set you free.”

For Dwayne Johnson, this appears to be a second feud within a huge Hollywood franchise, following the one that pitted him against Vin Diesel in the saga Fast & Furious.
