There will be no Superman or Shazam making an appearance.
For fans of the comics, this will come as a bit of a blow, as there have been rumours for a while that the upcomingmovie will feature one or both characters as their stories collide in the source material.
In the comics, Shazam removes Black Adam's powers and entombs him for centuries, but director Jaume Collet-Serra has revealed the movie will be a completely original story.."By the time the movie ends, he [Black Adam] doesn't know who Shazam or Superman is." He went on to explain what drew him to the script, with him explaining how he gravitated toward the unconventional character.
"I like how he operates in the grey and has a particular sense of morality and justice, similar to some of the movies in the 1970s where the system is broken and someone needs to do something for justice. "Early on, I said that this could be the Dirty Harry of superheroes. Someone who won't follow the rules, but does the right thing. The corrupt system won't protect the innocent anymore. Black Adam could be that [society's] hero."
