Johnson explained why he wanted Black Adam to have his own film rather introduce him in Shazam

He explained: “When the first draft of the film came to us, it was a combination of Black Adam and Shazam: two origin stories in one movie. Now that was the goal — so it wasn’t entirely surprising read, I just knew in my gut, ‘We can’t make a movie like this. We’d be doing Black Adam an incredible absurdity.’ It would have been fine for Shazam that the two origin stories meet in one movie, but not good for Black Adam.”

When Dwayne Johnson Share His Discomfort Over The Idea

The actor told how he called people associated with the film to express their discomfort over the idea.

“I said, ‘I’ve got to share my thoughts here. It’s so unpopular’ because everyone thought, ‘Hey, this script is great, let’s make this movie.’ I said, ‘I really think you should make shazam!, make that movie automatically in the tone you want. And I think we should separate that too.’”
