Dwayne Johnson talks Black Adam and DCEU world building

April 11, 2017 by Robert Kojder

As this week’s release of The Fate of the Furious quickly approaches, Dwayne Johnson is currently partaking in media interviews to discuss the film, and naturally talk also extended to his upcoming role as Black Adam in the DC Extended Universe.

Speaking to MTV, Johnson talked about the decision to make a Black Adam solo movie in addition to Shazam, stating that: “We’ve had great discussions with Geoff Johns over at DC. This is a really fun, cool time for DC right now because they’re world-building. We’re seeing that with Wonder Woman and Aquaman. We have a few surprises down the line. So what we decided to do was to create a scenario where Black Adam has his stand-alone movie, and Captain Marvel, Shazam, has his stand-alone movie. We’re building our world that way, and then we can come together at some point.”
