An evil super-genius with a deep-seated hatred of Earth’s Mightiest Mortal, Sivana is a more realistic and Earth-based threat who could help DC dip a toe into the Shazam corner of its lore without getting too crazy too quickly.
If that’s the case, then we think the Shazam movie should go the more grounded route and make Billy Batson face off against Dr. Sivana.
Although conventional wisdom would seemingly dictate that Black Adam would be the bad guy in a Shazam movie, it turns out that DC is keeping The Rock’s version of the supervillain at arm’s length for now.
