Peter Segal Expresses Interest In Directing SHAZAM!
Check out director Peter Segal's (Get Smart) tweet when asked if he was still being considered to direct Warner Bros. Shazam. Interestingly, it was Segal who suggested the role of Black Adam to Dwayne Johnson.
Long before Man of Steel jump started DC and Warner Bros. plans for a DC Cinematic Universe, Peter Segal (Anger Managment) was working on movie based around the character of 'Shazam'. The sucess of Man of Steel meant the project was put on hold as DC planned to start a new universe. Last year Shazam! was announced as one of the DC Comics properties heading to the big screen. The movie has so far cast Dwayne Johnson in the role of 'Black Adam' and is currently sitting on an April 5th 2019 release date. In Segal's tweets below, the director reveals that it was actually him who introduced the charater to the G.I. Joe Retaliation star.
