Dwayne Johnson Confirms Role In Shazam Movie

Dwayne Johnson Confirms He Will Play Either Shazam or Black Adam in the upcoming DC Comics adaptation Shazam film for Warner Bros/DC Entertainment.

CelebNMusic247.com has learned that Dwayne has yet to decide on who he will play in the traditionally known as DC superhero Captain Marvel or his archenemy Black Adam. The Hercules actor

According to USA Today, Johnson confirmed he will join a DC Comics adaptation but has not decided between hero Shazam and villain Black Adam. Whichever role he takes on, Johnson promised, “I am putting my heart and soul and my bones into this role.”

As for, Warner Bros., they have tentatively scheduled a Shazam movie for 2016 which is rumor to release shortly after the release of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, so all may be revealed soon enough.

However, The Rock aka Dwayne Johnson explains that he is NOT sure which role he will be taking on just yet. He has a choice between the hero or the villain.

Here are the breakdowns of each character:

SHAZAM! Two syllables famous for magically turning a boy into a superpowered adult.
Unlike most foster children, Billy Batson couldn’t care less about finding a family. He just wants to turn eighteen and finally become an adult. While the boy’s compassionate and kind, he’s gotten used to protecting himself by staying emotionally distant from everybody. But that changes when he meets an ancient wizard who introduces him to one very powerful word.

Just by saying SHAZAM!, Billy is transformed into a magical flying adult superhero, one with the genius of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the unbreakable will of Atlas, the lightning blasts of Zeus, the power of Achilles and the speed of Mercury. But gaining the power of the gods means inheriting their enemies too. With the abilities of the world’s mightiest mortal, Billy will have to struggle with magical threats as well as his own youthful naïveté. To truly tap into his power, this orphan who’s always kept people at arm’s length will have to learn what family really is. [DC]

As for the villain – There is Black Adam:

Long ago, the council of wizards—powerful beings that held dominion over all magic in the world—chose the warrior Black Adam as their champion, granting him vast magical powers and abilities. However, that power only further skewed Adam’s already maligned moral compass, and rather than use his newfound gifts to help others, he used it to dominate them.

Adam turned against the wizards and after a brutal battle was imprisoned for thousands of years. But now he is free once more, and his insatiable quest to conquer the world, to control all magic, continues. The only thing that stands in his way is Shazam!, the new champion of magic—and Black Adam will do anything in his power to destroy him and assert his position as the true ruler of the world

Driven by a need to rule, incredibly arrogant and one of the most powerful beings on the planet, Black Adam lives by a simple creed: kneel at his feet or be crushed by his boot. [DC]
