January 12, 2017 by Robert Kojder

Originally published January 12, 2017. Updated April 16, 2018.

Dwayne Johnson (who is set to play the antihero Black Adam in Shazam) recently had a meeting with DC executives about the DC Extended Universe and the tone of the projects moving forward, promising “hope, optimism and fun”.

“Had a very cool and strategic meeting with the heads of DC about their entire universe,” wrote Johnson on Instagram. “As a hard core DC fan, to get a real sense of the tonal shifts and developments coming in these future movies has me fired up. Something we, as DC fans have all been waiting for for a very long time. Hope, optimism & FUN. Even when talking about the the most ruthless villain/anti-hero of all time finally coming to life. Prepare yourselves DC Universe. #KneelAtHisFeet #OrGetCrushedByHisBoot #BlackAdam⚡️”
