SHAZAM! Star Zachary Levi Says "We'll See" When Asked About A Throwdown Between Shazam And Black Adam

With Shazam! 2 and Black Adam on the way to theaters, there's a lot of excitement surrounding a clash between the two characters, and Zachary Levi has now shared what he knows about a possible crossover.

Originally, Shazam! - Fury of the Gods was supposed to shoot at the same time as Black Adam, but we have no idea whether that will still be the case. Even if cameras do still roll simultaneously, there's nothing to say any sort of crossover will be filmed, but the prospect certainly excites star Zachary Levi. 

Shazam! featured quite a few references to Black Adam, but when Levi was asked on Dan Fogler's 4D Xperience whether there are plans for his DC Comics character to square off with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's Black Adam, he responded with a laugh: "That's well above my pay grade. I have no idea."

"The Rock is his own planet. He kind of does whatever [he wants], The Rock does what The Rock wanna do. So we'll see how that all plays out. But per the comic books, Black Adam and Captain Marvel - my true namesake - they're yin and yang to one another. They are identical."

Levi would later admit that the similarities between Shazam and Black Adam led to him believing Warner Bros. would find an actor closer in appearance to Johnson. Now, though, he's just excited about some sort of crossover. "Black Adam is from the Captain Marvel/Shazam part of the DC universe, so I hope [they meet]. I think that would be awesome to be able to go and do that."

"[Johnson] [is] doing his deal, the Black Adam stand-alone, and we're gonna do our sequel [Shazam! Fury of the Gods], and we'll see what goes from there," Levi concluded. 

A meeting between these two is inevitable, but it seems like the plan is not to rush anything and have Shazam and Black Adam cross paths only when it feels like a true event for fans.

@ChangAlang - Which makes me think they'll have to team up against a bigger threat

Of course it will happen, maybe not in Black Adam but in Shazam 2.

The Rock is his own planet

I literally can't think of a more perfect description of anyone ever than that for Dwayne Johnson.

Ummm, I wonder how long they will let him keep referencing Captain Marvel as being Shazzam? That's a no no.

@90caliber - It's notable considering they never actually officially named the character in the first movie. Interesting to me because I think they could end up naming him captain marvel in the sequel after going through quite a bit to distance from that name before the first movie.

@Deckacards - It's also grounds for a lawsuit. The legally cannot call him that. even though we all know, that is the original Capt. Marvel.
