Dwayne Johnson will be Black Adam in the Shazam movie

After lots of teasing, Dwayne Johnson has finally confirmed he will be playing the villainous Black Adam in the Shazam movie. That could mean we will eventually see him go up against Henry Cavill’s Superman and Ben Affleck’s Batman as long as Warner Bros don’t kill the character off in the Shazam film.

Black Adam derives his powers from the ancient Egyptian Gods.

Black Adam has a phenomenal level of super strength, able to easily bend steel, punch through walls, produce powerful shockwaves by clapping his hands, and lift massive objects. Adam’s strength is generally depicted of being on levels equal to those of Superman and Captain Marvel, though some writers have portrayed his strength as possibly outmatching them. On at least one occasion, he has been able to hold his own against an assemblage of the Justice League, Justice Society, Great Ten, Martian Manhunter (who has strength depicted as close to Superman) and the Teen Titans.

Now word yet on who will be playing Shazam.

How do you feel about Dwayne playing Black Adam?
