Dwayne Johnson lobbied for a BlackAdam solo movie after the original Shazam script included the DC anti-hero as its villain:
"Long ago, we chose a champion and we chose recklessly," the Wizard Shazam told young Billy Batson in 2019's Shazam! "He used his power for revenge, releasing the Seven Deadly Sins into your world." That champion was the enslaved Teth-Adam , Shazam's comic book nemesis who will headline his own film when Black Adam hits theaters October 21.
After signing on to co-star as the big bad of Shazam! in 2014, Johnson lobbied for Warner Bros. to spin off the powerhouse into his own film. Shazam! moved forward with director David F. Sandberg and a"cameo" by Teth-Adam, the film instead pitting Billy Batson and his adult superhero counterpart against the Seven Deadly Sins-wielding Dr. Thaddeus Sivana .
