As you might remember, we here at Criticsrant brought you a scoop a few weeks back taken from an interview Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson had with MTV news, where the former WWE Superstar revealed that he was in talks to play a major role in the upcoming SHAZAM movie. The Rock elaborated that it would be largely up to fans as to whether he would don the red tights of SHAZAM hero Captain Marvel, or the black tights of Captain Marvel nemesis, Black Adam. UPDATE: the fans have spoken! In a follow-up with MTV news this past week, The Rock revealed that, due to overwhelming fan response, he would soon sign on as Black Adam, prepared to kick Captain Marvel’s super-powered butt up and down the Egyptian pyramids: “I sayeth Black Adam as well,” [The Rock] enthusiastically pronounced. “I love that. I love that [fans] were so vocal… I’m meeting with [director] Pete Segal tonight [November 1] and we’re going to talk about it,” he grinned… “Now the goal is just to make a kickass movie, a kickass character.” en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/05/The-Rock-To-Star-In-SHAZAM-Flick-As-.-Black.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/05/The-Rock-To-Star-In-SHAZAM-Flick-As-.-Black.aspx#2121 the rock is so cool:) tinkluvspan http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/11/05/The-Rock-To-Star-In-SHAZAM-Flick-As-.-Black.aspx#2121 Fri, 09 Nov 2007 15:00:27 GMT
