The Rock waits for 'Shazam!'

While promoting 'Southland Tales', Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson talked once again about his desire to play Black Adam in the 'Shazam!' movie.  However, like so many recent projects, Johnson's super villain plans will have to wait until the writers' strike is resolved.

"I just met with [director] Pete Segal last night,” Johnson told About.com: Hollywood Movies. “We had a great meeting on 'Shazam!' and just waiting for John August to hand in another draft, which probably will be handed in months from now, after the strike. But [I’m] very excited about that, and no, not Shazam but Black Adam. It's been made very clear, which I love as a character and I can't wait to play.”

Aside from repeating the story of how fans have selected him to be Black Adam, rather than Captain Marvel, Johnson had little new  information about the film.

“I can't get into too much detail, only because I don't know. I can tell you but I can't get into the complete mythology, like every detail because I just don't know. I haven't read the draft.”
