Last Updated on August 2, 2021

In an interview with La Nacion, Dwayne Johnson confirmed he is definitely involved with Warner Bros. and DC's SHAZAM movie, however he still can't reveal if he will be playing Shazam or Black Adam. The only English version of Johnson's interview with the Spanish website comes from Google Translator, but it does sound like the actor will be appearing as one of the characters in an upcoming film. He also says an official announcement will be made in the near future.

It's the story of Shazam, but I can not say now if (my role) is Shazam and Black Adam. We've been developing for some time and have been a fan of anti-heroes. A this particular I think that we will make justice. I'm putting my heart and soul into this role.

Although Johnson wouldn't say if his character will appear in BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE, it looks like SHAZAM will be set in the same universe, based on his comments.

Now is happening with Superman and Batman. Aquaman and Wonder Woman come. I'm excited and I know fans are also excited. DC and Warner Bros. have great mythology that we will respect, we will create something very cool and good foundation.

So at some point soon, we will finally find out which character Dwayne Johnson will be playing for Warner Bros. and DC. Who do you think Johnson has been cast as: Shazam or Black Adam?

BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE will be in theaters on March 25, 2016, and the rumor is SHAZAM will open in July 2016, followed by JUSTICE LEAGUE in May 2017.
