Black Adam
Black Adamproducer Hiram Garcia hinted at the film ’s potential connexion to the broader DCEU in a new interview . The titular fictitious character , dally by Dwayne Johnson , will serve as a foil to Zachary Levi ’s Shazam , whose own crosstie toJustice League , Wonder Woman , and other DCEU film havenever been full solidified . With the advent of a proper DC multiverse being introduced in 2022’sThe Flash , the possibility for connecting the various self-governing franchises are legion .
During DC Fandome , Johnson foretell thatBlack Adamwould also feature several other type fromthe Justice Society of America(JSA ) , include Cyclone , Dr. Fate , Atom Smasher , and Hawkman . The introduction of so many additional mirthful Scripture boldness has raised lover speculation about the time to come of theBlack Adam / Shazam!film world , and if there is potential for more expansion on the JSA in future projects . With such a large crew already being get together , it seems questionable how the JSA world could mesh with that of the Justice League .

In a new interview withCollider , manufacturer Hiram Garcia discussedBlack Adam , the cinema ’s production plans , and where the character might go in the hereafter . When expect about specific ties between Johnson ’s upcoming entry and the previously established DCEU , Garcia was hesitant to bring out too much , but he substantiate there are big plans in blank space for all thenew characters and storylinesgoing forward . you could understand his full quote below .
“ There ’s been multiple ongoing conversations on how everything will roll out and it ’s very exciting for myself as a movie maker but even more so as a buff . regrettably , I ca n’t speak to that too much because it is still in the works , but I can say that on our remainder we ’re very focused on building out this world we ’re creating with Black Adam and the JSA . Obviously Shazam exists in that population along with many many other heroes and believe me when I say we have very big ambitions for all these characters and the story lines we need to take them through . ”
It was initially believe , due to several mention and Easter eggs , thatShazam!takes place afterJustice Leaguein the same population . However , the introduction of a multiversecould complicate that possibility . None of the DCEU actors appear inShazam ! , and the presence of multiple batman inThe Flashcould intend that the Superman and Aquaman advert to in the film are alternate versions of those case , rather than the Henry Cavill and Jason Momoa iterations . This would align with the initial amusing account for the coexistence of the JSA and JLA , which localize the two paladin teams in alternating timelines called Earth-1 and Earth-2 .
With the Arrowverse as a modelfor the DC film multiverse , there ’s certainly elbow room for comparatively main franchises , which could then be brought together in a “ crossover ” film . And with the sheer identification number of heroes being enclose inBlack Adam , that seems like a likely connection to the pre - lay down DCEU . However , it ’s still possible that bothShazam!andBlack Adamcould be canonized in the same timeline as the rest of the DCEU . Either way of life , the DC model will undoubtedly be interesting to stick with as it go along to diverge in structure from the MCU.Black Adamwill hopefully resume product early next yr , according to Garcia .
