The Rumour

Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam will appear as the main antagonist in the Shazam movie, and his own solo film won't happen until after 2020. Superman will also make a cameo in Shazam, which will be heavily inspired by Geoff Johns' New 52 run.

Response

There's been an awful lot of talk about how and when Dwayne Johnson will rock up in the DCEU: it went from being a part of the Shazam movie to getting his own film before that, to fighting Superman, and the latest was an appearance in Justice League.

This brings things full circle then, so at this point it's difficult to know exactly what to believe is happening with it. Warner Bros. will undoubtedly want to cash-in on the huge appeal Johnson has, and get as many appearances out of him as possible. The Shazam movie first was the original plan, so maybe it's worth sticking to, though there's still a good chance we'll get a cameo from Johnson before then.

Johnson and Henry Cavill have been teasing something between Black Adam and Supes for a while now, so there's a chance we will see them share the screen in some capacity, while the New 52 direction fits with a lot of what's being said about the DCEU, plus Johns is overseeing everything.
