The Black Adam movie will mirror recent elements in the DC Comics title of the same name, which finds the anti-hero fighting against those that seek to enslave his people.
Shazam is being developed concurrently with Black Adam, and both installments will star Dwayne Johnson in the lead, even with Shazam at the forefront of the title for one of the installments.
Black Adam and Shazam! will launch a new DC franchise for The Rock, with the movies tying into the DCEU while also being their own thing.
And he’ll also be getting his own standalone adventure for Black Adam, a DC character who has long been viewed as an anti-hero.
