The new bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran have made their new plans clear to the DC fans that don’t include Black Adam for now. Also, the studio will no longer recast Superman and several other characters with Henry Cavill in DC.

Going forward, they should recast Vin Diesel as Black Adam for a future Shazam movie. https://t.co/WUHgLTGDf0

Their history while the Fast and Furious Franchise will surely make this the talk of the town.
It would be one of the funniest recasting decisions in the history of cinema, without a doubt. https://t.co/UXTlJ6yV31

So Vin Diesel was in the right during his feud with Dwayne Johnson? Is it too late to add a joke about Black Adam in Fast Ten or Eleven?

This Gotta be one of the most hilarious fumbles of all time.
The Rock exits the Fast Franchise over an ego battle with Vin Diesel. Proceeds over to DC Where he over boasted about the importance of Black Adam, which didn’t do so hot.

Can we call this a coincidence?
The Rock and Vin Diesel are so alike in the weirdest ways that it's kind of hilarious. Dwayne talked about Black Adam in the same way he clowned on Vin for talking about the "Fast & Furious mythos."

James Gunn is gonna spite the The Rock by casting Vin Diesel as Black Adam

I could easily see Dwayne Johnson doing this. Black Adam as a movie caters to The Rock rather than to the comic book character etc. Plus he has EGO rivalry with Vin Diesel.
If he isn't the protagonist, he wants nothing to do with a project.

The future will show what Gunn has planned for the character. If the character is recast and if he casts the $225 million net-worth actor, fans will surely go berserk.
