Dwayne Johnson vs John Cena in a big budget superhero/comic book tentpole movie = $$$

 

Make this happen ASAP.

Maybe there will be a second CW special soon

I'm glad he's so committed to it.

The Rock knows how to sell. He makes everything he does sound like an event.

Is this movie ever coming out?  I feel like we've been reading about The Rock playing Black Adam for like 10 years.

I believe it was supposed to come out in 2019 but I think since we've heard so much chatter about it recently it will be coming sooner.

Well if they want to release it in 2018, they will have to start shooting this year.  Will The Rock even have an opening in his schedule this year?

I'm not sure tbh.

 

I know him and his production company met with Johns last week and they were all posting about it. He's also said in interviews in the past because they've been working on the movie for so long he expected it to come out before 2019.

 

I think we'll be hearing an announcement soon as to what the other DC movies will be for next year as it's pretty obvious Batman will probably be coming out in 2019. I have a feeling it might be this one or Gotham city sirens or both for 2018( along with Aquaman) but we'll see.

I agree with your Batman prediction.

I see Batman taking the June 2019 spot. With Shazam still taking the early 2019 spot. Although if they want, they could push Shazam up to November 2018.

So currently there is no Batman/GL/Shazam/Flash/Cyborg on the schedule. No DC Sirens on there. I'm sure most/all of those will be coming. Just a matter of where they're slotted.

Shazam opening in April 2019 will likely depend on Rock's involvement in Fast 9.

I have no idea what DC and WB are doing.  

 

Guardians of the Galaxy made way more sense than this.

I don't know if Black Adam could work as a solo film, I suspect a spin-off will be dependent on how Shazam is received.

I imagine WB won't move up Shazam as they already have Fantastic Beasts II plus Aquaman is only a month before.

I think they might be making the black Adam movie first tbh. They'll probably play it as an antihero movie and then move into shazam after. Personally I'm fine with that decision if that happens. 

 

 

I would be pretty shocked if they didn't announce a second DC movie for 2018 schedule.

20/20 hindsight, GotG had an army of detractors pre-release too. A space movie with aliens? A tree and a raccoon?! Marvel is really pushing its luck here.

 

At least Black Adam fits well with the "Gods Among Us" approach the DCEU has taken with the DC superheroes like Superman, Wonder Woman and well, BatGod.

Guardians of the Galaxy at least had a very good comic book basis.  The comic series was relaunched a few years earlier by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning, and that was basically what became the movie.  It was a great comic.  But at least, they are heroes.  A ragtag group but they are heroes. 

Black Adam is Shazam's villain.
