Black Adam
Warner Bros. and DC are still figuring out howBlack Adamwill connect to the residue of the DC Extended Universe . Dwayne Johnson originally joined DC to represent Black Adam as the villain inShazam ! , but he was not included in the 2019 film . While the moving-picture show did let in some solidification up for Black Adam , it wo n’t be until his solo film that Johnson ’s entry as the anti - hero happens . For now , Black Adamis schedule to hit the big screen at the destruction of 2021 .
Production onBlack Adammight not begin for a while due to coronavirus - related delays , but that has n’t stop details on the movie from surfacing . The film will see theJustice Society of America join the DCEUalongside Black Adam , with Atom Smasher , Hawkman , Doctor Fate , and Cyclone confirmed as members of the squad . It has yet to be let on how ( or if)Black Adamwill connect toShazam!or help gear up up the sequelShazam : vehemence of the Gods , but ostensibly those details are still being worked out .

In a recent audience withVariety , Johnson ’s longtime producing partner andBlack Adamproducer Hiram Garcia talk about how the film will colligate to DC ’s portion out universe of discourse . Garcia and Johnson were producer onShazam ! , soBlack Adamwon’t exactly be their first time working on a DCEU project , and belike wo n’t be the last either . He corroborate thatBlack AdamandShazamexist in the same creation , but teased that they ’re still discussing how to connect the upcoming celluloid to other DCEU projects and characters .
We ’re working nearly with DC in terminal figure of what the plan is for how everyone fits together . It ’s still in the work , but patently Shazam exists in the Black Adam creation . I can just say that we have very big ambitiousness for Black Adam and all of the character that we ’re introduce . How they ’re going to connect with other characters is still all being lay out , but I suppose fans are go to be felicitous , ultimately , with the direction we terminate up guide on it .
After trying to reduplicate the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe , WB and DC are move aside from bring in sure all of their pic are closely tied together . Wonder Woman , Aquaman , Shazam ! , andBirds of Preywere all successful standalone stories that did n’t require too much knowledge about other DCEU motion-picture show to delight . It should be have a bun in the oven thatBlack Adamwill take a similar approach and focus on telling a ego - contained story . This can still leave for some connections to be made but might stop Wonder Woman , Superman , or other major paladin from appearing right away . That say , theBlack Adampresentation at DC FanDome included The Wizard fromShazam ! , so perhaps he ’ll return for the picture as one of its DCEU ties .
The futurity for Black Adam and the JSA could be filled with othermajor DCEU connectionsas well . Johnson could appear inShazam : Fury of the Godspotentially and most expectBlack Adamto get a sequel at some point . The principal has not been shy about sound his pursuit in fighting Henry Cavill ’s Superman or the entire Justice League squad either , so a crossing of that kind of magnitude could amount one day . to boot , since the JSA characters also have their own stories and DC connector , many of them could return in future film or even get aJustice Societymovie of their own . All of this will be dependent on howBlack Adamperforms , but the enfranchisement potential drop should make DC more confident in connecting it to their other belongings early on .
