"It looks like Black Adam truly is Shazam!'s biggest threat, as The Wrap reports that Dwayne Johnson rejected a post-credits scene for his DC spin-off that featured Zachary Levi's superhero. In the comics, Black Adam is the hero's most notable adversary, and there is conflict between them regarding the right to use the power of the Wizard. Adam is depicted to have been born in Ancient Egypt, when he is first given the opportunity to carry such an immense responsibility. After an evil corrupts him and seduces him romantically, Adam becomes drunk with power and is no longer considered the right person to wear the lightning on his chest.

However, Johnson's version of the iconic anti-hero turned out to be quite different, as depicted in last year's cinematic version of the origin story. In that iteration, Adam's son (Jalon Christian) is given his powers after the tyrannical king Ahk-Ton of Kahndaq abuses the power he has over the population. Kahndaq needs a Champion who can save them from a ruler who wants to exploit them. But, since the boy gave Adam his powers as he died, Johnson's character is gifted with what the Wizard (Djimon Hounsou) has to offer. In a fit of rage due to the loss of his son, Adam k*lls most of the Wizards, and is imprisoned in a tomb.

Thousands of years later, an expedition led by archeologists finds the spot where the anti-hero is locked in and, in an attempt to retrieve the valuable crown that was buried with him, frees Adam from his punishment. Released in a world that is unknown to him, Adam is still trying to save Kahndaq, but the modern DC Extended Universe won't simply let an enhanced individual run around, blasting anything he sees fit. The Justice Society of America, led by Dr. Fate (Pierce Brosnan) will do everything in their power to stop the new villain before it's too late.



The Confrontation That Never Happened

Since Black Adam is Shazam's nemesis in the comic books that first introduced the world to the characters, it was only logical to expect their cinematic counterparts to clash on the big screen. But everything changed when James Gunn and Peter Safran became the new heads of DC Films. The producers introduced their own plan for the future of the DC Universe and, apparently, it doesn't include Johnson's anti-hero. That, coupled with the fact that Shazam!: Fury of the Gods isn't performing at an optimal level at the box office, could very well mean that a hero and his villain were introduced in separate movies, only to never cross paths.

You can stream Black Adam on HBO Max before you check out Shazam!: Fury of the Gods in theatres. You can check out the trailer for the DC sequel below:

Dwayne a hoe for real

Good move

That sh*t flopping

LeMar G said Good move That sh*t flopping

Exactly. Phuck the comic story on this one. Because Black Adam is good money. But Shazam Phucked up since the days of Shack playing in that sh*t.

They just trying to hook their wagon to the Rocks star.

Rock took his ball and went home

Rock still upset black Adam flopped

Selfish as fu*k!!! Bruh you can tell the Rock is arrogant smh lol. Especially since he went Hollywood . Just look at his antics and/or interviews over the years. Dude is a one dimensional a*s actor anyway. When they get actors for these roles, they need to get actors who actually read the fu*kin comics and/or are genuine fans. Theres no way is Rock a genuine comic fan pulling hoe sh*t like this.

Rock had too much control. I enjoyed black adam but I'm kind of glad he's gone.

You talkin bout Steel?

I’m sick of the rock, fk this dude! Cry baby mfer

Bro we knew this before Black Adam came out lol

What is The Rock’s Hollywood character? One where he truly feels irreplaceable….(I don’t follow too many Rock movies)

Seems like he ruined a chance to have a defining role to stamp on his legacy if he hasn’t already

This movie was not good at all

wtf is a black adam? why couldn't he have just been given an african name...never heard of a white omar superhero

Even the black characters still have a smug of being whitewashed

n*ggas are starting to see The Rock aint all Mr Nice guy lol.

When all that Fast and The Furious beef sh*t was going on, everybody was getting on Vin Diesel and Tyrese like they HAD to be the issue. That cast has been tight like family for over 10 years with no issues that I can recall taking place between anyone in those movies, until The Rock, so I aint get why they aint get benefit of the doubt that maybe The Rock can be a c*cky a**hole who thinks he is the sh*t. Totally believable that he was on some trying to take over the franchise type sh*t and acting like he was bigger than letting Vin run the ship he been steering since the jump.
