Zachary Levi says that Crossover with Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam will perform at Shazam! 3

"I can say that, as far as I know, Black Adam will not be in the second Shazam! because they want to go make an independent film Black Adam first, "said Levi at the German convention CCXP in Cologne.

if we do a third Shazam and a second Black Adam much like [parallel] like that, that's where we would like [meet]. "

Black Adam was the sworn enemy of Shazam for decades, appearing for the first time at a time when the magically powerful superhero was known as "Captain Marvel".

Because Black Adam derives his powers from the Egyptian gods – a teenager similar to Billy Batson being endowed with the Greek gods selected as champions of a former wizard – Teth-Adam is "ultimate" An opponent for Shazam.

According to Levi, franchising would reach its peak if a crossover occurred prematurely.

"Because he is the ultimate villain of Captain Marvel, Shazam. Like [Shazam and] Black Adam, they are right, the evil twin of who I am. So it must be like the final battle, "said Levi.

" If we do that in the second film, then where are we going after that? It would be just a movie of us sitting playing video games for the third, it would be very boring. Or not [laughs]. I am a very interesting video game player. So yes, I think that's the idea. We will certainly [cross over] – the plan is to get there, but just follow it, but you have to do it. "

Johnson's Seven Bucks Productions producer, Hiram Garcia, explained earlier that the decision had been made to stay out of the way, to make Shazam and Black Adam meet because the filmmakers" did not want to not compromise one or the other by piling them both up in the same movie "on Black Adam. The superstar producer and actor said in April that filming this project was scheduled for the first half of 2020.

"I'm looking forward to playing Black Adam," said Johnson in a video posted on Instagram, "because they're all kicking bades when I play Black Adam This calculation day is coming for everyone. "

Filming on Shazam! 2 should begin in the late spring or early summer of 2020. The film Shazam! directed by David F. Sandberg is available on July 4 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray
