Shazam could not revoke the powers he gave to Black Adam, though. Hence, he kills the pharaoh and takes over the Egyptian throne. However, the power quickly corrupted him and he believed he should rule the world. He was chosen by the wizard Shazam to be his champion and given the power of the gods. Initially, Black Adam was strictly a villain. This is because the comic books’ answer to this varies depending on which version you read. The answer to whether Black Adam is a villain or hero is complicated. This makes it a little difficult to know if he’ll be the villain of his own story or will face a bigger threat that will kick in his heroism. However, Black Adam will be following his origin story and his reawakening after being entombed for 5,000 years. If he had appeared in Shazam! he would’ve been opposing his nemesis of Shazam (Zachary Levi) and would’ve certainly been the major villain of the film. The fact that Black Adam is getting his own film makes his nature a little harder to decipher. Meanwhile, they are definitely bound to still share the screen together in the future. In making a separate Shazam! and Black Adam film, the two characters will get proper introductions and origin stories. He was originally going to appear as Black Adam in Shazam! However, the studio decided against it, feeling the film would be too stuffed with two very big characters and actors sharing the screen. Johnson was actually tapped to play Black Adam in the DCEU back in 2014. They both have similar powers (derived from the gods) and are archnemeses. The films close release dates make sense, as Shazam and Black Adam are very interconnected in the comic books. The film will premiere on October 21, 2022, and is a spin-off of the 2019 film Shazam! Black Adam will also be closely followed by the release of Shazam! Fury of the Gods which premieres December of 2022.
Black Adam is set to be the next film in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) and will see Dwayne Johnson portraying the titular character.
