Though they may be mortal enemies, DC's Captain Marvel and Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam may not be facing off in Shazam! Fury of the Gods, according to director David F. Sandberg. The DC Extended Universe sequel will see Sandberg return to direct on a script from returning writer Henry Gayden and Fast & Furious franchise veteran Chris Morgan. Zachary Levi is also returning to lead the cast of Shazam! Fury of the Gods alongside returning stars Asher Angel, Jack Dylan Grazer, Djimon Hounsou, Faithe Herman, Grace Fulton, Ian Chen, Jovan Armand, Ross Butler, Meagan Good, D.J. Cotrona and Adam Brody.
Plot details for Shazam! Fury of the Gods is currently unknown, though it is known that Levi's eponymous hero will have to face off against Helen Mirren's Hespera, Lucy Liu's Kalypso and Rachel Zegler, all of whom are daughters of the Greek god Atlas. Development on the Shazam! sequel began shortly after the first film's 2019 release, with production properly kicking off in early 2021 after frequent COVID-19-related delays. After multiple release date shifts, Shazam! Fury of the Gods is set to hit theaters this December and one of the creatives behind the film is offering insight on a major theory.

The director shared a hand-drawn comic about his time making the DCEU sequel, in which he hilariously addressed Dwayne Johnson Black Adam cameo theories by claiming he's never met the actor, but that Johnson's chameleon acting abilities mean he may have met the star and not even realized it. Check out the humorous comic below:
