Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson *deciding* between playing Shazam and Black Adam

This is how you know The Rock is the Greatest Actor our generation. The motherfucker is deciding whether he wants to play either Shazam, or Black Adam. Dude is like “Let me think about it, I’ll get back to you.” Total power move, and I love it.

While in Mexico to promote Hercules, Johnson confirmed to the Associated Press that he will be in Warner Bros.’ upcoming adaptation of the DC Comics character. However, he admitted that he was still making up his mind about whether to play the superhero, Shazam, or his archnemesis, Black Adam.

Johnson did mention in the same interview that he loves antiheroes and that Black Adam in particular is one of his favorite DC characters. Still, we imagine playing the heroic lead has its appeal too.

Either way, Johnson is eager to see that comic book fans are not disappointed. ”I am putting my heart and soul and my bones into this role,” he said. When we’ll see the fruits of his labor is unclear, though, as he wouldn’t say whether he would appear in the next DC movie, 2016′s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

The latest incarnation of the Shazam movie only recently started picking up steam, but Johnson’s been linked to the role for several years already. Originally, the word was that he was attached to the part of Black Adam, but in an interview last month he seemed to tease the role of Shazam himself.

Who do you prefer the dude plays? Frankly I want to see him uncork unfathomable amounts of whup-ass on Dummy Fuck Boy Kal-El, and Batman. So if that necessitates him playing Black Adam, sign me up.
