A lot of big changes have been happening at Warner Bros. after the disappointing critical and commercial performance of Justice League and one of the many projects which are seemingly in flux is Black Adam. Dwayne Johnson believes it could start shooting at the end of next year but Shazam! will have to be a success to help make it a reality and we've heard nothing from the studio as of yet.
"Black Adam is coming along," Johnson insisted in an interview for Skyscraper. "The script is coming along. I'm very happy with it. That's a project that obviously you want to take your time [with]."
"I think it's in a very exciting time now, with DC, because there's some rejiggering going on," he continued when asked what's happening at Warner Bros. "There's reconfiguration going on. There's looking at the macro map of the DC universe. And I know those guys are working diligently at DC and Warner Bros too, working closely with our producers too, to see how Black Adam unfolds in the universe. But yeah. I mean, I'm excited about it. It's just coming along and being written."
It is, of course, possible that Black Adam will happen but we thought the same thing about Nightwing and The Batman, two more DC Comics movies which appear to be stuck in development hell. For now, we'll just have to wait and see but be sure to stay tuned for updates as and when we have them.
