Johnson has been in talks to star in a DC film for many years at this point, and earlier this year hinted that Black Adam was one of his favorite characters. A rumor back in June pointed toward a Shazam film opening in 2016 along with Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and though there is a DC-based film set for release August 5 of that year, it hasn’t been confirmed as being Shazam.
Personally, I think this is a good fit. The Rock has a comedic over-the-top performance style and I hope this is an indication that they will apply that same style to the Shazam! movie. Shazam (Captain Marvel) is a light-hearted goof and I think that a goofy over-the-top tone would work well with the characters.
