SHAZAM! Star Grace Caroline Currey Shares Hopes For Eventual BLACK ADAM Crossover Movie (Exclusive)

Shazam! Fury of the Gods star Grace Caroline Currey talks to us about possibly sharing the screen with Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam should the Shazam Family ever cross paths with the powerful anti-hero...

Black Adam arrives in theaters next week, and while there's currently a lot of chatter online about Superman, we can't forget that a crossover with the Shazam! franchise feels like the logical next step. Billy Batson and Teth-Adam have clashed on the page more times than we can count, and seeing what the anti-hero makes of the Shazam Family promises to be a real treat.

Earlier this week, we spoke with Grace Caroline Currey about her role in the edge-of-your-seat thriller, Fall.

Of course, we couldn't let her go without getting some intel about her role as Mary Marvel in the DCEU and, with Black Adam on the horizon, we wondered if the Shazam! Fury of the Gods star is hoping to eventually share the screen with Dwayne Johnson. 

"Yeah, there’s definitely some tension, right? We’ve got to cross paths someday. I hope so. I think it would be so fun. Mary’s got her whole comic book storyline with Black Adam," Currey notes, referring to Mary Marvel's Black Mary persona, "so who knows if we’ll ever get to explore that."
 


"I know, for my character at least, it feels fateful that she encounters him," the actress concludes. "Who knows? We’ll see!"

Now Currey is getting to suit up as Mary Marvel in the Shazam! franchise (replacing Michelle Borth), when the day does come for the Shazam Family to meet Black Adam, she'll no doubt be front and centre.

In the meantime, we can assure you that she absolutely knocks it out of the park in Fall, and we'll be bringing you the full interview with her, and co-star Virginia Gardner, about that movie next week. 

Black Adam is set to be released on October 21, with Shazam! Fury of the Gods set to follow on March 17, 2023. As for Fall, that's now available on Digital and hits Blu-ray and DVD on October 18 from Lionsgate.

Let’s just have Sups and Billy both take on Black Adam.

@MuadDib - Give us something to enjoy live action instead of animation for a change 100%.

IMO Shazam and the Wizard should already be part of this movie. Maybe not a big part but at least a little. That is where he gets his powers

The Wizard should’ve been in BA

lets be real.....theres no way those dweebs can take on BA as of now...they barely defeated Sivana lol

@newmutantsRETURNS - guess that would be the point, that only with Superman's help Black Adam can actually be defeated

@bkmeijer1 - would love to see that on the big screen with the right director

@Origame - BA's ruthlessness clears the Shazam family pretty easy in movie form...in the comics, BA gets defeated by Billy by himself in epic battles

It’s weird how The Rock EP’d Shazam. Shazam scored great reviews and made good money at the box office, and when given the opportunity to bring those characters into the Black Adam movie, he changed his mind and went with Cavill instead.

Did The Rock actually like Shazam? Has he mentioned Shazam/Zachary Levi in any press interviews? Because for the last week it’s just been Superman, Superman, Superman.

@santoanderson - I'm wondering the same thing. He seems pretty obsessed with Superman.

Could thing I guess though, since The Rock is probably the only one with enough clout to convince WB execs Supes should return to the big screen.

@santoanderson @bkmeijer1 - He and Cavill are both managed by Johnson’s ex-wife so there’s that. It also seems that the two have become friends unless it’s really more of a “business” friendship.

@santoanderson - It's Superman though...?

It’s actually crazy to think the Shazam family are way more fleshed out than any DC family like the Batfamily or Flash family.

@PlusUltra - it’s honestly so odd. Great for Shazam and his world but it’s mind boggling how afraid they are to give Batman his family.

I’d be stupid to not have Shazam or the Shazam Fam fight Black Adam in a sequel. My preference is that Superman is just a supporting character to Shazam vs Black Adam. Have Superman vs Black Adam in the first third of the film where Black Adam realizes Superman Vulnerable to magic and defeats Superman. Second third Shazam fights Black Adam and loses because Black Adam is more experienced as well as brutal. In the final act it takes Superman and Shazam to defeat Black Adam. No Shazam Fam required for this battle… and post cred is Shazam talking smack to Superman saying he could beat him in a fight because ya know… magic.
Ramble done.

That would be awesome especially back in the comics Black Adam gave Mary his powers and she got a suit just like his. Grace would be amazing if she played Mary Marvel into an anti hero in a future movie!

I mean they could easily do a loose adaption of the Black Adam animated project, which teamed up Supes and Shazam.

@ModHaterSLADE - these movies will never be as good as that.
