![]() ![]() It is interesting to see an actor who was so adamant that he join the DC Universe, not wanting to actually participate in the connective tissue that makes these cinematic universes work. Hawkman was originally set to start in his own spin-off movie prior to James Gunn and Peter Safran's DC Studios takeover, so perhaps Johnson was intent on keeping his corner of the universe to itself. Johnson reportedly vetoed a plan that would have seen his DC debut close with a post-credit scene in which Aldis Hodge's Hawkman - alongside a number of other costumed heroes - reach out to Shazam to join the super-powered team. The report continued to reveal that this was not the first time the Black Adam actor had shut down a Shazam/JSA crossover. ![]() The JSA played a prominent role in Johnson's Black Adam film, with no clear indication of if and when they will show up again in the DCU going forward.

While cameos and crossovers between the two may have originally been planned the Black Adam star seemingly has nixed any connection between the two, reportedly harboring a "thinly veiled disdain" for Zachary Levi's DC hero and his movies. This was elevated even more so when Johnson's DC hero Black Adam finally got his movie off the ground causing fans to ask when the two characters (who are closely tied in DC Comics) would cross over. According to a new report Dwayne Johnson prevented a particular Black Adam tie-in from appearing in the recently released Shazam! Fury of the Gods.įor as long as Shazam has been a part of the DCEU, it seems Johnson has made his thoughts clear on the character. ![]()
