DCEU: 10 Mistakes Warner Bros. Has Made With Its DC Slate

10. No Shazam!/Black Adam Crossover

A Shazam! sequel is in the works, as is a Black Adam movie. However, it's been confirmed that despite their shooting schedules overlapping, there are no plans for any crossovers...yet. Instead, a meeting between the two is being saved for a future film, and while it's easy enough to get excited about whatever form that takes, why the delay?

While it's important to give Black Adam a proper introduction, he should surely have some role to play in Shazam's next movie, but it's been said time and time again that they won't cross paths in either one of these films (not even a post-credits screen!).

Honestly, Black Adam doesn't even really need a full-blown origin story, and after the tepid box office performance of Shazam! - it was a hit, but certainly not a billion dollar blockbuster - kicking things off with a clash between the two would have been a smart move. Plus, the door would have then been open to Black Adam getting his own spinoff, a film fans would likely have more interest in by then.
