The Rock has been saying for years that Black Adam is his favorite Super Villain and he'd love to play him in a film one day.

Spoiler: Big pictures

It just makes sense to me.

Still wish he was playing Captain Marvel personally. Oh well, I'm sure he'll do well.

I'm sure he will as well.

Thankfully his acting isn't as atrocious as it was in The Scorpion King.

 

[TKB]

He fits the part well, hopefully he won't botch it.

 

[Flagg]

What happened to him playing Lobo?

Or are they giving that to Robert Pattinson now?

 

[The Slaj Jazz]

This will ALWAYS be a world of dictators!

 

[pogse]

I am hercuuuueleeeeizz. finally the rock as a villain again.

 

[gamesun]

This is awesome and especially for the DC universe. Seriously they needed someone with charisma and the Rock has plenty if that.

 

[Lumpymoomilk]

Glad he took the role of Black Adam, he would just look odd as Captain Marvel.

 

[Mikemetroid]

Why did everyone think it would be Captain Marvel? He fits Black Adam 100x more

 

[NoobHunter420]

[Amplified$hotz]

I hope he has a killer backdash

 

[juicepouch]

I hope he has a killer backdash

The Rock backdashes from no man... Unless that man is an OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST

IT'S TRUE, IT'S DAMN TRUE!

Read about this on here and comicvine same time, awesome news! Curious who will play Shazam/Billy, I feel for that poor bastard who has to get as buff as Black Adam/Rock lol

He has Adam's looks but Shazam's personality.

 

[trufenix]

I love the Rock, but the dude is not built for drama. Either they are reducing Black Adam to a meathead or this will not end well.

Fiiiiiiinaaalllly!!!
