DwayneJohnson “made a phone call” to advocate for BlackAdam getting his own solo movie

, “Black Adam” star Dwayne Johnson revealed that he personally stepped in to make sure his character got his own solo origin story.“When the first draft of [‘Shazam!’] came to us, it was a combination of Black Adam and Shazam: Two origin stories in one movie,” he said. “Now that was the goal — so it wasn’t a complete surprise. But when I read that, I just knew in my gut, ‘We can’t make this movie like this. We would be doing Black Adam an incredible disservice.

Johnson went on, “I made a phone call. I said, ‘I have to share my thoughts here. It’s very unpopular…’ because everybody thought, ‘Hey, this script is great, let’s go make this movie.’ I said, ‘I really think that you should make ‘Shazam!,’ make that movie on its own in the tone that you want. And I think we should separate this as well.’”In the end, the character of Black Adam was teased in “Shazam!”, with Johnson starring in his own standalone “Black Adam” movie.
