Former WWE Champion Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has confirmed that he will play a leading role in the Shazam movie, scheduled for release in 2016, however he has refused to confirm whether he will be playing the titular character of Shazam or his enemy Black Adam, stating to USA Today that whatever role he takes on he will be putting his heart and sould and bones into it.
For those unfamiliar with the story, Shazam is an orphan who can morph into an adult superhero, simply by saying his own name, while Black Adam is a warrior who clashes with Shazam in his quest for world power.
