Welcome back everyone it's Charlie this is going to be my new Shazam Black Adam
vs. Superman movie video The Rock just did this big announcement video on his
Instagram where he talked about what's going on with the movie he's been a lot
of that video talking about the Superman character so I'll play that clip then
I'll explain what's going on because it is the path to Henry Cavill coming back
as Superman inside the DCEU the rock even commissioned bosslogic to do some
Superman versus Black Adam art when he was pitching the studio on what the
Black Adam movie would be so it sounds like he's been thinking about Black Adam
vs. Superman for a long time so if you're new to my channel be sure to
subscribe to get all the videos we're doing a new Amazon giveaway all you have
to do to enter is be a subscriber and leave all your black adam vs superman
predictions on the video here's that clip of the rock talking about the Black
Adam movie in talking about Superman vs Black Adam.
The first question is how excited am I
to play Black Adam. I am so excited to play Black Adam. So excited, so
pumped up, so ready. So focused so I don't have the vocabulary at times to say
excited I am about black Adam.
As many of you know black Adam is a super villain
from the world of the DC Universe and this project again as many of you know
because I know you've been following it intensely following it along through the
years Black Adam has been with me for over 10 years now and...
That gives you an idea of how passionate
I am about this project how passionate our 7 bucks is
about this project Warner Brothers, New Line Cinema. DC, they have been so
incredibly supportive over the years I mean this is over 10 years in 2008 is
when we first started talking about this. So, it has required a patience by all
of us as partners and you know I'm a much different man and an actor than I
was 10 years ago and I felt 10 years ago that even then
10 years ago I just wanted to wait till for the timing to feel right and it
feels like now the men that I've you know I'm able to bring a little bit
of my own life lessons and philosophies and ingrain them in the DNA of this
character and as those of you who followed the mythology of Black Adam and
in the comics which is millions of you and for those of you don't know Black
Adam there's a lot of deep layers to Black Adam he is a man who is his
Constitution and his wiring and his makeup is one of resolve and it is one
of a boundless anchor if you will and he started off as a...there's
some dark elements to Black Adam and one of the things that I really
loved about the character of Black Adam is that he was blessed by the Wizards by
the gods of for powers and his powers equal that of Superman which
automatically makes him intriguing but he was also bestowed a
equalizing power and that equalizing power is Magic which is certainly
Superman's weakness and I'm not I'm not setting up a showdown between Black Adam
and Superman maybe down the road but right now I'm just giving you guys
context for those of you who don't know on how powerful Black Adam is and one of
the most interesting things about Black Adam to me is the fact that when you
compare him to Superman. Superman believes in truth and justice and
everyone gets their due process even the bad guys who've done a lot of damage and
harm to the world and Superman believes in bringing them to justice and then if
justice is served properly the bad guys go to jail in the case of Black Adam who
is a super villain who then became a antihero
by the way our first version of Black Adam is going to be his origin stories
so we're going to understand where he came from as he made his way to becoming
black Adam but the difference is you know with black Adam a few wrong black
Adam and wrong his family if you harm his family
or if you harm his people. Then he's not going to send you to jail he's gonna
rip you in half. Literally, bang he's gonna rip you in half. It's kind of dark
but again that is that's the core of who black Adam is so I'm very excited about
Black Adam our director is going to be Jaume Collet-Serra who has been working
intensely over the past year he has a great vision a tremendous vision for a
black Adam Jaume Collet-Serra just directed myself
and Emily Blunt in Jungle Cruise which will be out this summer in July maybe
hopefully we'll see if we're going to come out this summer it all depends we
will continue to gauge our global situation and we'll see Lawrence Sher
who is our director of photography as a few of you may know Lawrence was just
nominated for an Academy Award for his brilliant photography in the Joker so we
are assembling our Black Adam team and we're bringing it all together and I'm
very very excited about it.
So as you could see the rock is trapped inside his
house because of the virus like a lot of other people in the United States so
that's why you spending so much time talking about the Black Adam movie
they're getting ready to shoot it starting in August later this summer
which does seem like it's in the safety zone and they'll be okay to start
filming on time as you saw in the teaser video that I put at the beginning of
this the movie's supposed to come out at the end of next year so they still have
plenty of time but here's the thing about Black Adam vs. Superman he spends
a lot of that video talking about the first Black Adam movie and says that
Superman is not gonna be in the first movie he's like I'm not trying to tease
Superman in this first movie what he's saying right now is the Black Adam vs.
Superman would be one of the Black Adam sequels after the character has
transitioned into present-day because the first movie tells his backstory
thousands of years ago that a little of it takes place near present-day because
they had the Justice Society so it's kind of set in the past but not that far
in the past in pers a curry Levi the plan for the Black Adam in Shazam
franchises right now is that they'll do the Black Adam movie next year then
right after that they'll do Shazam - they'll set up a cameo for Black Adam at
the end of that teasing him in Shazam 3 which will be the full blown Shazam Lee
vs. Black Adam then at some point in that timeline
maybe before Shazam three or after Shazam three that's when they would do
Black Adam - Black Adam versus Superman the reason why that movie is the key to
Henry Cavill coming back as Superman inside the DC EU is because of an
interview that amy adams did recently talking about the future of her Lois
Lane character people asked her if she wanted to continue she said she would
love to be Lois Lane in new DC movies but she didn't think that it would ever
happen because her Lois Lane is tied to Henry calvo's version of Superman so
much and she Amy Adams had heard recently within the studio that they
were planning on going in a different direction with the Superman character
which means recasting Superman with a totally different actor for another
Superman movie same thing that they just did with Ben Affleck's Batman recasting
with Robert Pattinson in Matt Reeves Batman movie not being connected to any
of the other Batman movies with Ben Affleck I've done a couple videos for
the Batman movie I'll link those at the end of this Henry Cavill has already
made it clear that he wants to continue playing Superman so it sounds like the
studio just does not want to make a Man of Steel movie with him but the rock is
powerful enough to demand that they allow him to use Henry Cavill Superman
in a potential black atom sequel think of it as black atom saving Henry Cavill
Superman's life within the DC EU but I love that the rock teased that he's
actually been working on this movie since 2008 that's when he started
talking to Warner Brothers about playing the character then within a couple years
of that they started working on developing a script the reason why it's
taken this long to make the movie is mostly as The Rock says he just wasn't
there as an actor he didn't feel like he was good enough and they didn't have the
right story yet but everyone just got done watching DC do the Joker movie
Joaquin Phoenix the film when all these Awards made over a billion dollars so
now just feels like the right time to do a villain movie when he's talking about
the story of the Black Adam movie obviously he's talking about the origin
but he mentions his family dying his people dying in conduct in how that
pushes him to break bad so he's implying that they're going to show you the
actual backstory for this PowerPoint presentation that the wizard gave to
Billy during the Shazam movie so I'm guessing a lot of that will take place
really early in the Black Adam movie and then you'll see him closer to
present-day fighting the Justice Society black Adam
is a little more hardcore is a film but I'm not expecting it to be a horror film
not in the way that they're talking about making dr. strange to a scary MCU
film speaking of the villain connection to the Joker movie with Joaquin Phoenix
the Black Adam movie is also using the cinematographer from the Joker movies so
it sounds like they've got a lot of creative energy that they're using from
the Joker film and using that to enhance the black atom film which i think is a
good thing but everyone let me know in the comments what do you think about a
black atom versus Superman film set sometime later in the timeline after you
have Shazam Lee versus black atom based on when they're releasing all these
movies the earliest they could do black atom versus Superman if that's gonna be
a black atom sequel would be 2023 so it's still a ways off that's like a
couple seasons deep into the Witcher Netflix so toss a coin to your Witcher
Superman because it actually sounds like he has a chance of coming back as the
Man of Steel I've got a couple of the videos I'm working on I'll try to post
those as soon as possible everyone click here for all the Batman
teaser trailer and Easter egg videos and click here to learn about what's going
on with Spider Man 3 in the Marvel Netflix characters coming back thank you
so much for watching everyone stay awesome I'll see you guys tonight!
