10 Villains That Should Be In Justice League (And Who Should Play Them)
3. Black Adam
This one's easy, as Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has already been cast in the role. Having him in the Justice League movie would nicely help set the stage for Shazam! film due in 2019. Introduce Black Adam as an initial villain but perhaps have him help the League against a bigger threat in Part Two? Who knows. But Black Adam is a strong son of a b*tch who can easily go toe-to-toe with the League; all of them at the same time, even. For the uninitiated, Black Adam is a thousand-year-old champion of an ancient cabal of wizards, who went crazy with his power and uses it to attempt to snuff out all trace of magic on the planet. We've already seen that magic is going to play a part in the DCCU thanks to the use of Enchantress in Suicide Squad, so featuring Black Adam and his magic-based quest sooner rather than later would be fairly reasonable. Plus, it's pretty harsh to make Dwayne wait three years before his film comes out and DC would be smart to let him involved sooner. Who Should Play Him? Johnson's a lock, and a damn fine fit for the role as well, considering his physique, charisma and hairline.
