But when I read that, I just knew in my gut, ‘We can’t make this movie like this. Now that was the goal - so it wasn’t a complete surprise. When the first draft of the movie came to us, it was a combination of Black Adam and Shazam: Two origin stories in one movie. IndieWire reports on a recent interview Johnson had with Vanity Fair, where it was revealed that he did not want one movie to cram two origin stories for two different superhero characters, especially since they’re so different. Black Adam was a long road to the screen, but it actually could’ve been a lot sooner for him because it was initially written that Black Adam was the villain in the first Shazam movie.

Who can blame them, as the megastar has generated around $12 billion globally with multiple franchises. Dwayne Johnson has been welcomed into the DC universe with open arms.
