Yesterday, it was announced that The Conjuring and next years Fast & Furious 7 director James Wan is expected to return for The Conjuring 2. Interestingly enough the President of New Line Cinema Toby Emmerich comments on Wan returning to the horror franchise but also teases there's another reason Warner Brothers and New Line brought him back:

"James will make an important movie for New Line and Warner Bros or DC, and that is definitely part of the plan, and a reason for bringing him into the family. He's the only overall director with a deal here, because we see him as a class of one."

 As we all know New Line Cinema is teaming up with DC to produce Shazam co-starring Dwayne Johnson as Black Adam. So it's extremely interesting that they specifically name drop Wan involved with DC. Now let it be known last week during DC's huge slate reveal of films they announced that New Line Cinematic and Warner Brothers will be co-producing all upcoming DC films not just Shazam...

Either way it looks like director James Wan is on DC's radar for directing one of their upcoming slate of films be it Flash, Aquaman or even Shazam this is exciting news!

Today, during a Warner Brothers shareholders meeting CEO Kevin Tsujihara finally announced the titles and release dates of their upcoming DC Comics films. This comes after DC announced a slew of untitled release dates through 2020. Well today they announced Suicide Squad penned by Justin Marks and to be directed by David Ayer will hit in 2016 (Before Sony's villain team up Sinister Six) after Batman v Superman. Wonder Woman starring Gal Gadot will hit in 2017 with Justice League 1 hitting later that year. The already announced solo Aquaman & Flash films are slated for 2018 starring Jason Momoa and Ezra Miller respectfully. Then last comes Shazam starring Dwayne Johnson as Black Adam will hit in 2019 with Justice League 2 hitting in later that year.

:: Update :: - 
Cyborg starring Ray Fisher and Green Lantern will hit in 2020

‘Suicide Squad’ – 08/05/16
‘Wonder Woman’ – 06/23/17
‘Justice League Part 1’ – 11/17/17
‘The Flash’/'Aquaman’ – 03/23/18
‘The Flash’/'Aquaman’ – 07/27/18
‘Shazam’ – 04/05/19
‘Justice League Part 2′ – 06/14/19
'Cyborg' – 04/03/20
'Green Lantern Reboot' – 06/19/20

They go onto say solo Superman & Batman films are also in the works but no release dates have been set on those films...

Man of Steel & Batman v Superman director Zack Snyder will return to direct Justice League Part 1 & 2.

Now that we finally have gotten word today that Dwayne Johnson will in fact play the main villain in DC's Shazam aka Black Adam it begs the question. Who will actually star as Shazam himself? Also, who will play his young alter-ego Billy Batson? Well several actors have already thrown their names into the ring via Twitter campaigning for the role of Shazam! They include Dodgeball star Brandon Morel who was actually in talks for the role back in 2007 when the movie was first conceived. As well as X-Men: Days of Future Past star Daniel Cudmore. At the end of the day it has to be someone who can match or even surpass Dwayne Johnson on screen cause Shazam is the main character not Black Adam....

Other fan casting names thrown into the mix is Dwayne Johnsons Pain & Gain star Mark Wahlberg who just came off his biggest role in Transformers: Age of Extinction which has since passed $1 Billion at the worldwide box office. Other names is True Blood's Joe Manganiello who is seriously fan-casted in every superhero role going back years.

After news the recent announcement by Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson that he'll play Black Adam in Shazan, New Line president Toby Emmerich sat down with Entertainment Weekly and revealed some information about the film in regards to tone and Black Adam himself. However, he revealed that Shazam will not be a Justice League character, “It feels to me like Shazam will have a tone unto itself,” said  Emmerich. “It’s a DC comic, but it’s not a Justice League character, and it’s not a Marvel comic. The tone and the feeling of the movie will be different from the other range of comic book movies.”  So does this mean Shazam nor Black Adam will not appear in the Justice League film? He does seem to imply that the film will be very much stand alone and will not exist in the same universe as Superman, Wonder Woman etc. But this has yet to be confirmed....

Emmerich went on to talk about the Black Adam, the role which will be played by Dwayne Johnson, "Black Adam is a complex character. “The villain in superhero movies is often, I think, what makes the movie.  He added, "And I thought Dwayne’s take on the character, and the way that he saw Black Adam, was really compelling and fun.” The film will be penned by scribe, Dareen Lemke. What do you guys think of Emmerich's comments? Do you agree or disagree with him?

You heard it right folks, it's official. After months of speculation on whether Dwayne Johnson will play Shazam or Black Adam, it was been revealed that today that he'll in fact play Black Adam, reports Variety. Darren Lemke (Turbo, Jack the Giant Slayer)  will pen the script, with Johnson set to play the lead part. According to the site, Black Adam will be an anti-hero trying to clear his name, so he won't be a villain. This means the film will most likely been seen from his point of view than Shazam himself. No release date has been given as of yet but it'll certainly be one of those dates released by WB a while ago. The Rock took to twitter to confirm.

New Line Cinema (mentioned by @Variety) was working on a Shazam movie but was absorbed by Warner Bros. years back. Shazam is now a WB movie.

TechTimes (via Comic Vine) has unearthed several recently registered domain names for upcoming DC films. This comes off the recently announced "untitled" release dates for movies stretching all the way through 2020 over at WB. Now these domain names currently just redirect back to the Warner Brothers main page. Most shouldn't be surprised since Dwayne Johnson confirmed Shazam is in the works, Aquaman just got writers and Justice League was announced over two months ago. But interestingly enough Wonder Woman is also added to the list!

JusticeLeagueFilm.com

ShazamMovie.com

WonderWomanTheMovie.com

AquamanMovie.com

With many DC fans upset we didn't get any announcements at Comic-Con then again not at the end of August this little nugget is all you will get until DC announces the films. 

Dwayne Johnson is expected to play either Black Adam or Shazam in the upcoming Shazam film. Jason Momoa has been cast as Aquaman in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. While Gal Gadot has been cast as Wonder Woman.

:: Update :: - Apparently these domain names were registered years ago. 

The #Aquaman & #Shazam domain names were registered in 2000. #WonderWoman's was registered in 1999. #JusticeLeague's was registered in 2013.

Last month the biggest gathering of nerd-dom appeared in San Diego. Many of us were anxiously awaiting for both Marvel and DC to announce some of their untitled movies but were sorely disappointed when neither did. Two films everyone thought for sure was Marvel's Doctor Strange who already has a writer and director attached and rumored for the second 2016 release date. And DC's Shazam with Dwayne Johnson starring as either Shazam or Black Adam.


Now Dwayne Johnson revealed that he was invited to go to Comic-Con to promote his newest film Hercules but also to secretly announce DC's Shazam. But before he was gonna go on stage to announce Shazam Warner Brothers and DC told him "No" according to the Brazilian website Omelete:

“My trip to Comic-Con was a surprise, so I called personally to executives at New Line and Warner Bros. to see if they would like to announce Shazam there,” said the actor. “Unfortunately, it was not time yet, but the official announcement should happen soon.”

 Now recently we have heard that Walk the Line and Her actor Joaquin Phoenix is currently the front runner to play sorcerer supreme in Marvel's Doctor Strange. But according to Badass Digest the actor is extremely reluctant to sign the dotted line because of all the green screen, special effects and long term deal that comes with being in a Marvel film. They even go onto say he was suppose to come on stage at Comic-Con in an announcement much like Mark Ruffalo during The Avengers Panel in 2011:

DC and Warner Brothers are currently hard at work developing their own cinematic universe opposite longtime rival Marvel. It all started with last years smash hit Man of Steel directed by Zack Snyder which got the ball rolling after the hiccup that was 2011's Green Lantern.

Now it seems Warner Brothers wants to use in-house writers to help form this cinematic universe. First it started off with The Dark Knight trilogy screenwriter David Goyer and 300's Zack Snyder creating Man of Steel. They then brought on Ben Affleck to play Batman after directing and staring in both The Town and Argo which won best picture at the Academy Awards for Warner Brothers. From there it seemed WB was adamant on using writers who are closely connected to both Ben Affleck and Zack Snyder. They started by hiring Argo writer Chris Terrio thanks to his connection with pen Affleck to pen the sequel to Man of Steel title Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. They loved his draft of the script so much (After David Goyer wrote the first draft) that they are seriously considering him to pen Justice League which will also be directed by Zack Snyder.

Then just a couple weeks ago DC announced that they had hired two separate writers to pen an Aquaman solo film. The writers would also be in house at WB and were Gangster Squad scribe Will Beall as well as 300: Rise of an Empire screenwriter Kurt Johnstad who is connected to Zack Snyder. A draft has also been confirmed by Dwayne Johnson on a Shazam solo movie but it is unknown who wrote it at this time.

But with all these writers being brought on to pen the ever growing DC Cinematic Universe what directors could take on these mighty heroes? Here is a few suggestions that are in-house at Warner Brothers but are also very talented directors in their own right...

Aquaman
With Aquaman being the first solo film confirmed to have writers attached I thought it should be the first addressed in this editorial. Currently both Will Beall and Kurt Johnstad are writing two separate scripts for the King of the Seven Seas solo movie which will star Jason Momoa. So for this I will assume they will go with Kurt Johnstad and have him re-team with his 300: Rise of an Empire director Noam Murro. Now while Noam Murro only has two feature film directing credits to his name he is an ideal chose at Warner Brothers. What he did with the navel battles in 300: Rise of an Empire was impressive coming off of a director like Zack Snyder in the original 300 film. He also now has experience with water battles as well as ancient Greek battles which would make him a perfect choose to bring Aquaman and Atlantis to life. But his ultimate challenge would be an entire film underwater and try to make it as realistic as possible without people forgetting their underwater and have the currents of the ocean floor just as real as another character on screen.

Shazam

Shazam is going to be one of the trickiest movies Warner Brothers and DC create because of its fantastical elemnts that are so associated with the film. Because in reality their is two leads in the film playing the same character of sorts. You have the young Billy Batson (Foster Child if he is based on the New 52) who is given the power of S.H.A.Z.A.M by an ancient wizard. As well as the hero of Shazam (Possibly played by Dwayne Johnson) who is still a child like Billy Batson in an adults body. A comic book "Freaky Friday" movie of sorts. The only director who could possibly take this fantasy type movie would be David Yates! He has already directed several Harry Potter films which starred a a young protagonist in Harry Potter. With his background of Hogwarts and Wizards he would be an ideal chose to bring the Legend of Shazam to life on the big screen for Warner Brothers and DC.

Wonder Woman

Wonder Woman seems to be a hero that just can't catch a break. She will finally be introduced on screen for the first time in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice played by Gal Gadot. But the powers that be just can't seem to wrap their brain around a female lead superhero movie and potential franchise. Now many believe that a female superhero movie can only be directed by a female director. And lets face it a female director are rare and far between in Hollywood. But I'm sure the first female director to pop into you're head is The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty director Kathryn Bigelow. She is the first woman to win Best Director at the Academy Awards as well as having both her films be nominated for several awards. Now while should would be the ideal chose for such a break through film like Wonder Woman lets face it. She will never come near a comic book movie after her success with war-time films even though everyone on earth wants her to do Wonder Woman because it just feels right.

A great second chose would be Guy Richie who has directed such great films like Snatch as well as the upcoming re-telling of King Arthur for Warner Brothers. With a fantasy film like King Arthur under his belt he would bring that to a film that tells the origins of Themyscira and Princess Diana. Plus, with his famous opening credit sequence who doesn't love Guy Richie?

Green Lantern
 
Green Lantern had a bit of a hiccup back in 2011. Not that the origin story of Hal Jordon was wrong or that Ryan Reynolds was terrible in the role. It was simply that the script was all over the place because of "to many cooks in the kitchen". They tried to make Green Lantern a little to comic book-y with his cheesy one-liners and what not throughout the film. Not to say Green Lantern needs to be 100% serious but his one-liners is what drove fans away from the film. Not to mention the space cloud villain but lets not get into that.

So where does Warner Brothers go from here with the character? Last rumor we heard was that he will not be making an appearance in Dawn of Justice but will indeed have a role in Justice League presumably played by a new actor. When his eventual spin-off comes whether its a re-telling of his origin or simply another adventure for him to go on a great director for the project would be none other then Gravity director Alfonso Cuaron. Cuaron has been a staple director at WB for a while also directing one of the Harry Potter films but it was last years Gravity that put him at the spotlight for space epic films. It wasn't just how realistic he made space feel in Gravity but how Space itself was another character in the film. That's exactly what a movie like Green Lantern needs. With a film practically all in space we need a director with a keen eye on how space actually works to helm a project like this. Plus it helps that Gravity won seven academy awards for Warner Brothers including best Visual Effects and Cuaron winning Best Director.

The Flash

The Flash is one of the few DC characters that simply is meant to be a comedy. A movie like The Flash will basically be the opposite of all the other Dc movies who have taken a dark and serious approach to all their films. Now recently their have been rumblings that Warner Brothers seem to have a "Zero Joke Tolerance" for the upcoming DC films but The Flash needs to be the exception. Beside the dark elements that Barry Allen lost his mother at a very young age he has always been the comic relief of the Justice League. Constantly memorized by all the heroes even though he is one of them he is simply a "fan-girl" when he actually gets to meet the other Leaguers.

Now there are also rumors that he is expected to make a cameo in Dawn of Justice with but it won't be by an actor. So if and when DC decides to make a solo Flash film (Opposite it's already established Flash TV Show starring Grant Gustin) what director or director's should helm this project. None other than the hottest duo directors in Hollywood Phil Lord & Chris Miller. They have four feature films under their belt all being massive hits from both the kid friendly comedy's Cloudy With a Chance of meatballs as well as The LEGO Movie. They also have the action comedy down with the hard R Jump Street films. Now as you saw in The Lego Movie they are nerds and brought the Justice League into their movie with batman already playing a prominent role. It's only a matter of time before they direct a live-action feature film. They quickly passed on Marvel's Ant-Man at one time so maybe it's time for Warner Brothers to repay the duo on their success with The Lego Movie and let them direct a DC Cinematic Universe film. And The Flash seems to be a perfect match for this young hot directing team.

The Batman

After Ben Affleck directed and starred in both The Town as well as Best picture winning film Argo he signed up to play Batman for the foreseeable future. Most suspect in his contract with Warner Brothers and WB he would get a solo Batman film as well. It only seems logical that he would also direct this new Batman film as well as star. Zack Snyder is hard at work establishing this new Batman in Dawn of Justice but it will be Affleck who will bring this Dark Knight back to the screens in an entire new way then what we saw in Christopher Nolans Dark Knight Trilogy.

Superman

Zack Snyder is the last director who will return after helming Man of Steel to do the first Justice League film in 2017/2018 but he may also want to return for another Superman adventure starring Henry Cavill. With DC films being slated through 2020 a solo Superman movie may actually happen after all.

Yesterday, some new set images from the set of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice debuted showing off Tao Okomota, Holly Hunter and Scoot McNairy. What's interesting with Scoot McNairy's photos is that he is wearing green legged socks that would indicate his legs will be CG'ed into something else. You could say they may erase them like for a paraplegic part but some are simply speculating that it maybe for The Flash?


We already know that The Flash is expected to have some type of cameo in the film. But now Badass Digest has gotten word of all the Justice Leaguers we will indeed see in the film leading into the Justice League! The lineup includes:

Superman (Henry Cavill)
Batman (Ben Affleck)
Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot)
Aquaman (Jason Momoa)
Cyborg (Ray Fisher)
The Flash (TBA)

They go onto reveal that the Green Lantern (Unknown if it's Hal Jordan or John Stewart) won't appear until the Justice League movie. This list also indicates that Shazam (Possibly Dwayne Johnson) won't appear with the League until a later date.

So Tao Okamoto looks like the #YoungJustice version of Mercy Graves #BatmanvSupermanDawnofJustice pic.twitter.com/TM7wVCWzUj

Yesterday, we got word that DC is moving forward with an Aquaman film and has hired two writers to pen separate scripts for a feature film starring Jason Momoa. Well now The Hollywood Reporter wrote an article claiming that along with Aquaman, Wonder Woman, the Justice League and Shazam will be made at Warner Brothers and DC. They also once again go onto confirm Dwayne Johnson will indeed be in Shazam but unknown as who either Shazam or his arch-enemy Black Adam.

Shazam will indeed take one of the untitled spots DC announced two weeks ago....He will also most likley be in the Justice League but unknown if he is in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

It seems DC finally has a plan! Last month Nikki Finkie dropped the scoop that a slew of DC movies where coming out of the woodwork. Including Shazam and a Green Lantern/Flash team-up and claimed they would be announced at Comic-Con several weeks ago.

"Shazam (July 2016), Sandman (Christmas 2016), Justice League (May 2017), Wonder Woman (July 2017), Flash/Green Lantern team-up (Christmas 2017), and Man of Steel 2 (May 2018)."

 Well Comic-Con came and went with not even a hint of their future plans. Finkie went onto claim that DC was upset the information leaked and simply wimped out of the announcement. It certainly seemed she was just covering her own failed scoop. Well, maybe she wasn't wrong afterall...

The Wrap just announced that Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has moved up from May 2016 to March 25th, 2016. They go onto to announce 9 untitled feature films coming out of DC with 2 additional "WB event films"!

Untitled DC Film  - 08/05/16
Untitled DC Film  - 06/23/17 
Untitled DC Film  - 11/17/17
Untitled DC Film  - 03/23/18 
Untitled DC Film  - 07/27/18 
Untitled WB Event Film - 11/16/18
Untitled DC Film  - 04/05/19
Untitled DC Film  - 06/14/19
Untitled DC Film  - 04/03/20
Untitled DC Film  - 06/19/20
Untitled WB Event Film - 11/20/20

UPDATE to Warner Bros. Release Date Slate: Studio will release untitled ANIMATED films on 05/25/18 & 05/24/19.
— Jeff Sneider (@TheInSneider) August 7, 2014

 If the WB Event Film is a Justice League team-up that means they moved the date from 2017 to 2018. But it is unknown at this time what these "WB Event Films" are....Some are speculating they are for the Harry Potter spin-offs Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them

By 2017 we're going to be up to at least seven super-hero movies every year, between WB, Disney, Fox and Sony.
— Ben Fritz (@benfritz) August 6, 2014

So far the actors in this great DC Cinematic Universe is Henry Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, Jason Momoa as Aquaman, Ray Fisher as Cyborg and Dwayne Johnson in an unknown role (Most likely Shazam)

Other possible DC films include Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Sandman and Guillermo del Toro's Justice League: Dark but it's unknown if these supernatural films will be in the DCCU. On top of all the solo films rumored...

Many DC fans are anticipating this mysterious role Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is playing but yet to be announced. Many think DC will unveil his role (Which seems to be down between Black Adam or Shazam) at this years San Diego Comic-Con. The question being will he have to to be at Comic-Con while promoting his latest film Hercules. Well, he has since answered that by revealing he will be at Comic-Con....to promote Hercules. But who knows what other goodies might happen?!



Lets wait and see if he sticks around for Hall H this Saturday during the DC Entertainment Panel?!

Surprised thousands of COMI-CON fans .. bought out 3 theaters to show them #HERCULESMovie A blast! #PopcornAndSelfies pic.twitter.com/LmNsIcL9Z3
— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) July 25, 2014

Several years ago Dwayne Johnson was approached by DC Comics to play Black Adam in a possible Captain Marvel (Shazam) film. The movie never got into development and then Dwayne Johnson's name was attached to several other characters in the DC Universe but nothing got into development. Now Dwayne Johnson has once again confirmed 100% to be signed onto a mysterious DC characters role. Some thought it could be Darkseid or even John Stewart (Green Lantern). Well just last week Dwayne Johnson teased his role once again but was carful not to spill the beans before the official announcement by DC. But the tease was that this character has "The power of Superman....Just say the word" and many know Billy Batson shouts "Shazam!" to turn into the superhero Shazam....Well, today he posted a image of Black Adam once again battling Shazam. So which is it? Black Adam or Shazam?!

Someone's gonna get it.. pic.twitter.com/eH7GzWxx0u
— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) July 24, 2014

Most in the fan community agree he looks like Black Adam but lets face it. It's taken DC and Johnson forever to get him in as a villian (and at one point anti-hero Lobo) so the idea that he is some obscure villain in one Shazam feature seems silly. This is The Rock. DC wants him in a franchise and Justice League eventually so maybe he is Shzam?! Let's hope it's announced this Saturday at Hall H at the San Diego Comic-Con!

Shazam is rumored to hit in 2016 but that has yet to be confirmed....

During the press tours for his upcoming film Hercules actor Dwayne Johnson was once again grilled on his super mysterious DC Comics role that he has mentioned over the years but picked up steam late last November. While speaking with Total Film the actor tried to play coy on what exact character he is playing but mentions "He has the power of Superman....Just say the word" which would lead many to assume he is talking about Shazam! He does only confirm he is not John Stewart/Green Lantern but admits that DC considered that at one point:


The reason many think he is Shazam (Since he isn't Green Lantern unfortunately) is completely based on his charisma in the ring as The Rock or even in his more comedic roles. That if you look at his "good baggage" he brings to a role you can totally see him as a kid stuck in a superhero's body like Billy Batson and Shazam!

Now a few days before this interview CCO of DC Entertainment Geoff Johns goes on record from the TCA's 2014 DC Panel stating that one of next movies he would like to see is a Shazam movie! And based on Nikki Finkies scoop from last month Shazam is one of the movies slated to be released in July 2016. But this has yet to be confirmed or announced by DC or Warner Brothers....maybe all will finally be revealed at Hall H this Saturday including The Rock's role?!

With Henry Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman and Jason Momoa as Aquaman....it only seems logical to add Dwayne Johnson into this massive superhero "Expendables" movie right?

Several days ago legendary entertainment reporter Nikki Finkie dropped her very first scoop of a life-time after departing from Deadline. It included the line-up release dates and titles of all the DC Cinematic Universe movies starting from Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice in 2016 all the way through to 2018.

"Shazam (July 2016), Sandman (Christmas 2016), Justice League (May 2017), Wonder Woman (July 2017), Flash/Green Lantern team-up (Christmas 2017), and Man of Steel 2 (May 2018)."

Now while on the recent SModcast Hollywood Babble-On podcast  Kevin Smith actually goes onto admit he has known about the DC line-up for a while but wasn't allowed to say anything! If some of you are questioning Kevin Smith and his information. Now he also does confirm the titles he doesn't actually confirm the release dates which does seem a bit crazy having 3 films per year. Director Zack Snyder personally gave him a glimpse at Ben Afflevcks upcoming Bat-suit all the way last August. Then when the suit was finally revealed a couple weeks back he went onto mention something about how all the DC movies stories will connect. Now most of us took this as an obvious "Well Duh" moment but it's because he knew what was going on for a while. It really seems that Warner Brothers CEO Kevin Tsujihara is leading the charge in this DC universe and it should be very exciting!

He goes onto talk about the DC scoop at the 1 Hour 27 Minutes Mark...

Nikki Finkie best known for her work on the trades website Deadline has since departed from the website to begin building her very own trade website. Now one of the first exclusives to her site NikkiFinkie.com is none other than Warner Bros post-Batman V Superman plans after 2016!

According to her sources WB is moving forward with the already announced Sandman with Joseph Gordon-Levitt as well as the Shazam. The sources go onto say that a Wonder Woman solo film will happen as well as a Green Lantern/Flash team-up!

"Shazam (July 2016), Sandman (Christmas 2016), Justice League (May 2017), Wonder Woman (July 2017), Flash/Green Lantern team-up (Christmas 2017), and Man of Steel 2 (May 2018)."

Today has been a monster news for DC Comics fans. After, the monster hit that was Marvel's The Avengers the guys over at Warner Bros and DC started be hard at work in getting their own team up crossover movie going. Now we finally got word that director Zack Snyder will return for Justice League in 2017. News first broke over at The Wall Street Journal. In the article they also mention that Warner Bros is bringing some more obscure title to the big screen from DC Comics "Vertigo" universe which include Metal Men, 100 Bullets and Fables. These all being in various stages of development and obviously not in the same universe as the Justice League.

They also go onto reveal that a Shazam (or Captain Marvel) movie is also in-development! They say it is not connected to Justice League but didn't clarify if they just ment the Vertigo titles weren't. Shazam may also be a simple standalone film in the bigger Justice League world. It would be a real tragedy not to have one of the members of the Justice League....not be in the same universe as the Justice League....

Dwayne Johnson has long being fan favorite to play Shazam's arch enemy Black Adam but may even up to play Shazam himself if asked..

Stay tuned as this story develops...
