10 Most Exciting Comic Book Movie Revelations From Comic-Con 2014

6. The Rock As Shazam Or Black Adam

Dwayne €˜The Rock€™ Johnson€™s acting career seems to be getting more and more active as the years go by. The ex-professional wrestler seems to have his finger in every action-movie-pie going, currently slaying mythical beasts in cinemas the world over as Hercules. The Rock managed to get himself into Comic-Con related headlines as he took to twitter to all-but announce his role in a forthcoming DC project. The action movie megastar tweeted a photo of DC Comics€™ Shazam and Black Adam doing battle. The tweet cleverly leaves it unclear whether Johnson is referring to the superhero or the supervillain. In the past the Rock has been linked with Black Adam but his phenomenal success at the box-office recently could well mean that he has been promoted to wear the red and gold garb of Shazam. Warner Bros. will surely be very pleased to have the actor on-board in a future DC title as he has proven time and time again to be a big ticket seller.
