Ranking Every Upcoming DCEU Movie By Anticipation

11. Black Adam

Release Date: TBC

Billed As:

The Shazam! spin-off focusing on The Rock's anti-hero Black Adam, who may or may not appear in Shazam! first, or in another film entirely where he'll throw fists with Superman.

Positives?

It's all about The Rock's charisma. He might have had some duds more recently, but lots and lots of fans would flock to watch him open tins of paint, so having him in a DC movie is a huge deal.

The character is also great - and more appealing than Shazam! on account of the natural coolness of villainy (or at least anti-heroism). And that opportunity to see The Rock really flex his dark charm muscles sounds brilliant even without much detail.

Concerns?

It seems to have been talked about for years now and there's no real movement. Hopefully that's just a matter of Warner Bros getting their house in order before going big on it.
