Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has confirmed on his Twitter account that after months of fan speculation he will be portraying DC Comics’ Black Adam for the big screen adaptation of Shazam!
Black Adam has been Shazam’s (aka Captain Marvel) number one nemesis in the DC universe since his creation in 1945 by writer Otto Binder and cartoonist C.C. Beck.
