As fans witnessed the simultaneous development of Shazam! Fury Of The Gods and Black Adam, the assumption on the table was that the movies would set the two characters up to eventually collide on the big screen (an assumption made because the latter is the archnemesis of the former in the comics). This didn't happen – and according to a recent report, it's because of Black Adam star Dwayne Johnson.
The Wrap published a story today saying that the actor made specific efforts in the making of his DC debut to disassociate Black Adam and Shazam in the DC Extended Universe canon, going as far as to veto cameos in Black Adam and Shazam! Fury Of The Gods. Johnson, an active social media user, has not yet released any kind of statement about the report, but the same can't be said of Zachary Levi.
