Fans Should Expect a Black Adam Standalone Film Before SHAZAM! Sequel

Shazam! is opening in just a matter of weeks and fans are getting excited. The one thing that fans were hoping for that won’t actually be a part of the film is the appearance of Black Adam.

We’ve known for a long time that Black Adam wouldn’t appear in the film, but fans still love the idea of seeing Dwayne Johnson portray the classic villain. With a sequel already seemingly in the works for Shazam! many are expecting that to be when we get the iconic showdown.

However, it looks like that may not be the debut of Johnson’s Black Adam. Producer Peter Safran told CB that audiences should expect a standalone film for the villain:

“Listen, we don’t know but I’ve gotta believe that there’s gonna be a standalone Black Adam movie before there’s ever a movie with Shazam and Black Adam sharing the screen.”

Do you think Black Adam needs to get his own film before the titanic clash with Zachary Levi’s Shazam?
