Newly released character descriptions for the Shazam! movie hint that Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam may appear in the film after all.
The next scheduled DCEU movie after Aquaman arrives this December, the release date for Shazam! was recently confirmed to be April 5th, 2019.
DC’s Geoff Johns wasn’t a very popular person last July when he first confirmed that Shazam’s arch-nemesis, Black Adam, would not be appearing in the movie.
A number of folks from the Marvel/Shazam family could fit the bill of an “underling” better than Black Adam.
