>The New Line DC property Shazam! has morphed into two pictures. Black Adam has proved vibrant enough to become its own film, to star Dwayne Johnson. He was excited enough about his meeting last week at the studio to tweet his happiness, after a hard shoot on the newest Fast & Furious installment. It is looking like yet another franchise for the amiable big man. MORE

I'm starting to think that the movie is going to be about Black Adam falling to the darkness and Billy taking his place. like they'll be equal in the story.

They can do an origin movie taking place during Black Adam was a hero.

I'm down
>>
>>89260323
Yeah, Adam's backstory is great movie material so it would be awesome to see his rise and fall, which would then contrast Billy's 'pure hearted-ness'.
>>
>>89260084
>>89260323

As cool as this may sound, I JUST WANT A CAPTAIN MARVEL MOVIE

I'm pretty sure they can tell the whole Black Adam history during the first act of the movie. They don't need a whole movie full of fillers just to tell a compelling story about an "anti-hero"/villain.
>>
>>89260183
Ah, so he's Anakin Skywalker.
>>
They just can't mess this one up, right?

Black Adam's not Superman, who has some haters. Everyone loves BA, the character itself will save the movie.

Right?
>>
>>89260369
But that would just be pushing Billy aside in his own movie.
This way we can have an entire movie focusing on Adam's rise and fall (assuming that's the direction they go in) and one focusing on Billy becoming a hero and not being corrupted like Adam.

I don't think it has to be filler though. They can re-purpose a DC villain to be the antagonist. Fuck, the Crocodile Men would fit into an Ancient Egypt story. I don't see the bad part of a focused villain origin movie. We really haven't had one ever that I can recall. Then Shazam! can focus on Billy.

I've been saying it for a long time: kids would love Shazam if DC gave him a little push. It's a fucking kid that becomes a Superman-like hero, with a cooler costume and lightnings. Shazam will save the DCEU (if DC lets him).
>>
What is the fucking point? Black Adam is just a foil for Captain Marvel. His only importance is in tying to Billy's own story. This is like if Iron Man 1 was about Howard Stark running around with Peggy Carter in the fifties.

He would be a villain by the end of the film, moron.

Not even close to the same thing. Black Adam is an important character on his own who can lead a film. If you're trying to say a Howard Stark movie has the same level of appeal and chance to be awesome as a fucking Black Adam movie then you're a moron.

This is no difference than Sony spitballing with their fucking Spiderverse as ASM 2 was failing in theatres

Yeah.

The DCEU will be shuttered if WW and JL fail.
And the signs aren't good

I have my doubt that even Aquaman will finish up if the two first ones don't revitalize the franchise

Momoa and Wan go fly to Australia in March, if I'm not mistaken.

>>89260812
Why are you implying DC wouldn't let Shazam save the DCEU (if that were ever to happen, which I doubt)?
>>
>>89261068
People once though BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN making over $1 billion was a certainty.

JUSTICE LEAGUE doesn't have nearly as much hype as it once did, and it's up against STAR WARS. Bad word of mouth could easily keep it under $900, and even vocal supporters of the DCEU in the insider business said that it needs to gross at least more than BvS to be considered a success.

Who the fuck is in charge? Did they just realize they can't write heroes for shit?
>>
>>89261296
Suicide Squad made gangbusters, what do you expect?
>>
>>89261272
Shazam it's a Superman rip-off. DC keeps him going (barely) because people like him (kinda). But they can't have two Supermans sharing the spotlight, so he hasn't done shit in decades, even though his power set should make him a first class member of the Justice League.

Okay, this seems rather premature and ill-advised, seeing as we don't even have a Shazam movie yet, but it could work because Adam is a great character and the Rock is a decent actor.

That being said, I hope we get Billy's movie first so we can get Adam properly contextualized before they do an entire origin movie for him. I think it's important to see Billy being his own hero first before seeing Adam trying and failing.

Make his movie a prequel that comes out after Shazam! and I'll be cool with whatever happens.

People, it's not a two-parter, they became two completely standalone franchises.

>Dwayne Johnson had a big meeting at DC Entertainment last week and we now know why. The Hollywood Reporter reveals that New Line is developing a solo outing for Black Adam, a movie which will stand apart from Shazam. In fact, they now sound like two totally separate franchises as he's no longer set to appear in the movie at all. Instead, it's thought the two could meet down the line.

>Apparently, after meeting with Johnson, it was decided by studio execs that having the wrestler turned Hollywood A-Lister just play a supporting role in Shazam as that movie's villain would be a waste and that he would be better off with his own feature. As of right now, no one is attached to work on Black Adam, though the trade mentions that Henry Gayden (Earth to Echo) is penning the Shazam script.

https://www.comicbookmovie.com/shazam/shazam-becomes-two-movies-as-dwayne-johnsons-black-adam-gets-his-own-solo-a148310

This is interesting, though.

>Here's where things get really interesting, though. Borys Kit notes on Twitter that it's possible we'll meet Black Adam for the first time in Aquaman next year.

We've had a leak a couple of weeks back that said the exact same thing. I'm inclined to believe it could be real now.
>>
>>89261962
The leak.

>THE BATMAN is slated for April 6, 2018. Production is further along than it appears, Deathstroke won't be the only villain.

>GOTHAM CITY SIRENS is also further along than it appears, slated for June 8, 2016. Catwoman will be order, Poison Ivy will be the same age as Harley Quinn. The Riddler is the villain.

>Black Manta will be in AQUAMAN, and an actor has been cast already. Black Adam will appear in a post-credits scene.

>GREEN LANTERN CORPS is slated for June 14, 2019. John Stewart is the main character. He's a rookie, Hal Jordan is a veteran, and they're begrudgingly partnered together to fight the Red Lantern Corps. Sinestro is Hal's mentor and is presumed dead.

>JUSTICE LEAGUE 2 is slated for November 1, 2019. Zack Snyder is back. Darkseid will be the villain, but story arcs about the Legion of Doom and the Throne of Atlantis have also been discussed.

>SHAZAM is slated for April 5, 2019. The Wizard has been cast. Movie centers on Captain Marvel and Black Adam fighting, and Superman appears.

This is the one that makes the whole thing sound iffy.

He is. It's just that autistic retards (like /co/ and The Rock) like to think he's some anti-hero/dindu (these are the same retards that think Purple is a good guy). WB is going to try and make Black Adam a superhero when him being a villain is what made him cool. They are trying to turn BA into a good guy like Malificent (which was already a shitty idea).

Seriously, Black Adam is a evil jerk. AND THAT'S OKAY. That's what makes him great. Don't puppyfy him to be a hero. Billy is suppose to be the hero. Black Adam is suppose to be the villain he fights. It's so fuckig simple, yet no or gets it (not even /co/).

It's almost like for 15 years he was an anti-hero or something.

Just make Black Adam a evil dick and have him fight Billy.
>>
>>89263376
...Yes. Are you saying he's not?
>>89263244
>>89263357
He can be a villain and still have a movie that shows how he became a villain. Black Adm has never presented as always being evil like Maleficent had been. Or Harley Quinn. He was a former champion. So at some pint he was a hero and champion for good. What the fuck is wrong with showing the story of how he fell from grace?

or just find a hero that The Rock is a good fit for. why the hell can't he play Captain Marvel anyway

>>89263477
>Just make Black Adam a evil dick and have him fight Billy.
Because that's not all of his character? He basically is Scorpion King is certain ways. Except he turns evil. But he once was a hero. And even when he turns from he good he's historically done many things to help.protect Khandaq.

Anon you're getting assblasted over a fucking label on what to classify Adam. The fact that we're having this debate says a lot about his character. What's wrong with showing his descent into martial law? He's still going to be the antagonist of the SHAZAM movie so you're getting mad over fucking nothing. You know shit about Black Adam
>>
>>89264055
They are doing it because they have the Rock playing Black Adam. They assume that by casting The Rock as Black Adam they will instantly get money and be a success. Same thing with Will Smith as Deadshot. And you got The Rock trying to make Black Adam into a superhero dindu instead of a slightly sympathetic dickish villain.

It's going to blow up in everyone's faces.

Not at all. He's not a very gifted actor so he's not versatile. The characters he plays are mostly all very intense, while Black Adam has a more nonchalant, he's not he type to scream and shout and threaten. This casting is a blunder and a meme.

Pull your fucking head in dude.

Black Adam WAS a hero. Now, he is not. That is his backstory. They want to tell his backstory and how he becomes a villain. Are you really this dense?
>>
>>89264375
>Are you really this dense?
Are you? The guy has been shitposting from the very start and when he says something like "he conquers people" then it's supposed to be pretty obvious he's baiting since everyone knows that's Adam's one central thing, he hates slavery and wants to liberate everyone, despite some of his extreme methods. But here you are enabling that guy's shitposting. Says a lot about you and this shit board. Just so you know, without people like you, there would be no shitposters.
>>
>>89260084
DOA
>>
>>89264375
Oh please, they want to turn him into Superman (especially after they ruined him). It's why they are trying to give him his own franchise. He'll be as much as a villain as NuMaleficent. And it's going to blow up in their faces. Badly.

Man, I remember when I woulda been hyped as fuck to hear this. Adam's a fucking great character but DC has no fucking clue what it's doing anymore. An entire movie about him sounds insane, especially this early.

By the way, where the fuck is Adam in the comics right now? Last time we saw him was Forever Evil.

>Group think: the post

Well done for proving you're a drone.

If you don't like any of the DC movies that's fine, but at least have your own opinions on why you don't like them as opposed to looking at whether you should or shouldn't like them based on what other's think.

For example, I didn't like Suicide Squad. I thought it was a cluster-fucking which didn't even let House of the Rising Sun finish which it fucking opened with. It didn't have a proper villain. While Will Smith, Viola Davis, and Joel Cinnamen(?) were good in it they didn't have nearly enough to work with.

If it had just been the Suicide Squad doing wetworks for the US against some who gives a fuck villain who is threatening US interests I would have liked it a lot more.

Oh, and it also suffered from both too much and not enough Joker.

Look see, it wasn't hard to me to explain my rationale, and not just post a jgp from Rotten Tomatoes.

>I can't imagine any franchise surviving three failed movies

You realise than none of their movies have failed commercially yet right? While BvS under performed it still made WB a lot of money.

As did Suicide Squad.

As did Man of Steel.

>>89261609

So Guardians of the Galaxy is a failure then?

can someone rec some essential Black Adam and Cap Marvel? Hero,villian, both, any story so long as it's good or fun.
>>
>>89263244
>Black Adam is suppose to be the villain he fights.

Part of what makes Black Adam a really compelling villain is that he does view himself as a hero, and he's very anti-authoritarian.

Like in Forever Evil where he just is like "fuck you Ultraman" and doesn't need to wait for Lex's call like the other villains do.

I'm not disagreeing that he isn't a villain, but he is a tragic villain who is very much the hero in his own mind.
>>
>>89265842
Yes, he is a sympathetic villain. But the problem is that with some villains is that idiots take out the villain part of villains which is what made them interesting. Then you get stuff like that shitty Maleficent movie. Being sympathetic doesn't mean they should go full misunderstood hero.

If Black Adam's movie actually does a good job at making him a sympathetic villain and not a misunderstood hero then more power to them. I have a bad feeling in my guy it's going to go the other way though.

>>89265722
People seem to believe that under performing is equivalent to flopping.

>>89264264
Really wish we could storytime these, they have some fun stories and pretty decent 90s art.

>>89261597
Seems like Snyder and Wan aren't having that problem.

>>89261419
>muh marketing
love this meme. never fails to make me smile.

Zack Snyder also messed up MoS so much that WB gave him even more money and control to make BvS.
>>
>>89264909
Of course not. This board is infested with /tv/tards now that think they have a clue about what they are talking about.

> Black Adam has proved vibrant enough to become its own film,

Translation: Dwayne Johnson has proved profitable enough for his own film.

This probably a bad idea.

>>89260815
You are clearly in need of reading more Black Adam

>>89265937
well WB is run by morons and is the second worst company after Sony

still making money. More than sony can say.

I can't wait till the DCEU fails. Do it right next time

What if the Rock is also playing Shazam the wizard and Captain Marvel?

Since the Rock is Shazam, the power of Shazam turns the bearer into the Rock
>>
>>89266140
Is it though? The casual audience fucking loves the Rock. If they need to use him to star solo in a movie to grab that audience, then why not

I'm not entirely sure they do.

>>89269202
I see nothing wrong with this. Only the numales that read AVclub get upset about villains as they furiously pounding out college lengthy level of essays about how triggered they were that margot robbie spends most of the movie in spangled short shorts.

>next time
there is no next time there will never be a next time unless the MCU ends which it never will

DC is dead and thank god for that

wasnt that the main plot of civil war ? ( including wanda killing those people in that building) add in all the collateral damage ( including ruining zemo's life) and your statement gets more ridiculous the more I read it marvelcuck.
