The Rock Confirmed To Play Black Adam In DC's "SHAZAM" Movie

I don't know... this still seems off to me.

A brutal Black Adam who kills ruthlessly... in PG-13? Even after we got both an R-rated The Suicide Squad and an R-rated Birds of Prey?

Packing a Black Adam origin story with... the entire JSA (and presumably at least some of their origins)? wtf? Who thought this would be a good idea? Imagine trying to pack Iron Man 1 into The Avengers, and how effective that could be (as in, not at all).

I can appreciate not wanting to have Black Adam's origin happen in the Shazam movies so it can stand on its own... but no Shazam at all in Black Adam? Not even a cameo or a tease, even when Shazam 2 was filming at almost the exact same time?
