Black Adam
Dwayne " The Rock " Johnson ’s soloBlack Adamfilm is moving a picayune confining to output , as the DC supervillain solo film has just recruited a new screenwriter , Adam Sztykiel ( Due Date ) .
Black Adam is traditionally a bane ofShazam , and when it was announced Johnson would take on the role , it was usurp by most he would debut in David F. Sandberg ’s 2019 crowing screen iteration of that hero sandwich ( which of late castChuckalum Zachary Levi as its titular hero ) . However , Johnson will reportedly not be present in that film , as the villain will get his own film before taking on the rest of the DC cinematic universe .
That solo picnic still does n’t have a release date or director , but it does have a writer . The Tracking Boardis reporting screenwriter Adam Sztykiel is in negotiations to pen the film . At first glance , Sztykiel seems an unexpended choice to tell the definitely blue history of Teth - Adam , having worked primarily as a writer of mob - well-disposed funniness motion picture likeAlvin and the chipmunk : The Road ChipandDiary of a wimpish Kid : The Long Haul , as well as broad web sitcom like NBC’sUndateable , which he create .
It ’s worth note that Sztykiel has also worked on more adult - oriented comedy transportation , like the 2010 road - trip rompDue Date , which starred Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakis , and some of the best superhero picture natural endowment out there has come from unexpected places . Anthony and Joe Russo , the breakout hit directors of several Marvel Cinematic Universe flick , were best known for the their work on TV sitcomCommunitybefore they helmedCaptain America : The Winter Soldier .
BothBlack AdamandShazamare co - productions with New Line , who at one time made their desire for the world ofShazamto be a bit more family friendly than the likes ofBatman V Superman : Dawn of JusticeandSuicide Squad . That would likely work okay forShazam , but a family - favorable , proficient - humoredBlack Adammovie is potential a tougher sell .
Black Adam has been around for over a half 100 , but the character go through a massive resurgence in popularity in the early 00 ’s when he featured in theJustice Society of Americacomics compose by current DC Films mastermind Geoff Johns . That adaptation of Adam was more of an anti - hero than a baddie , fight against his darker impulses in an attack to ransom himself . He would ultimately give in to those dark impulses in the face of capital personal tragedy . It was a character - determine test , and probable one of the master reasons a moving-picture show version of the part is being pursue . Let ’s hope that Sztykiel and the rest of the behind - the - scene talent can do Black Adam justice .
