That's Adam... Black Adam

Dwayne Johnson, the wrestler/actor formerly and yet forever known as The Rock, has signed on as Black Adam in the upcoming Shazam! movie. Not only does he look the part, he'll fill out the costume just fine.

Directed by Peter Segal (Get Smart, also co-starring the Rock) andwritten by John August (Corpse Bride), William Goldman (All The President's Men) and Bryan Goluboff (The Basketball Diaries) and co-produced by Michael Uslan (the Batman movies, Frank Miller's Will Eisner's The Spirit), shooting is expected to begin in about a year. Assuming the writers' strike is resolved by then.
