Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was among the many stars that MTV News spoke with during the 87th annual Academy Awards last weekend, and during the brief interview, the wrestler-turned-actor had discussed his role as Black Adam in Shazam! and how its 2019 release date might be moved up. "It may happen a little earlier than what has been predicted," revealed Johnson. "The script is coming in, it's great, and the support from the studio has just been great. It's just a great opportunity especially with Black Adam where you can take a guy who starts off as a bad guy turns into an anti-hero. We can make it vicious, a little bit of winking charm." "The Rock" was then asked if anyone has been cast as Captain Marvel yet. "I don't know yet," he told MTV News reporter Josh Horowitz, before joking, " but you're at the top of the list buddy." Anyhow, Shazam! is being scripted by Darren Lemke and is set to be released on April 5, 2019. What do you think?
