Black Adam May Have Found His Adversary For Upcoming Film

Shazam turned out to be a pretty entertaining movie (with Zachary Levi stealing the show), but a majority of fans were hoping for even a small cameo of Dwayne The Rock Johnson’s Black Adam.  Unfortunately, we can’t always get what we want, and Black Adam was nowhere to be found.  Speculation began with the success of Shazam and many assumed Levi’s character would square of with The Rock in the eventual film.

If the reporting from Beyond the Trailer is true then we are again…incorrect.  If you watch the video above (starting around the 2:30 mark) they report that Black Adam’s adversary will be none other than…Hawkman.  Alright, didn’t really see that coming, but Hawkman wouldn’t be alone because he would be accompanied by the Justice Society of America.

This looks to be accurate as production begins in July and casting has already called for many of the JSA characters including Star Girl, who is a more modern character for the group.  The incorporation of the JSA does raise questions concerning the possible time the Black Adam film will take place.  Possibly the 40’s?

With Geoff Johns and David Goyer formerly working together on a JSA comic series, and their influence with DC films, they could be using more of their source material which was the first to use Black Adam as an anti-hero rather than a villain.

While I was initially somewhat surprised by this route, the storyline created by Geoff Johns is actually pretty interesting and could be cool on screen, but I have really wanted to see Black Adam as a villain rather than an anti-hero.

What are your thoughts?  Are you interested to see Black Adam portrayed as an anti-hero or do you want DC to stop dragging their feet, make him a villain, and pit him against Shazam already!  Leave your thoughts in the usual spot, and thanks for reading!
