As the release of Black Adam nears, Dwayne Johnson sat down with Vanity Fair to discuss the titular role within the DC Universe. In the interview, Johnson opened up about why it was so important for the character to have its own film instead of piggybacking off of another. He alluded that originally, Black Adam was supposed to make a cameo appearance in the second installment of Shazam!, however, he pushed back on the idea, saying it would ultimately be a “disservice” to the character. He explained, “When the first draft of the movie came to us, it was a combination of Black Adam and Shazam: two origin stories in one movie. Now that was the goal – so it wasn’t a complete surprise. But when I read that, I just knew in my gut, ‘We can’t make this movie like this. We would be doing Black Adam...
