Shazam! is set to be DC’s next movie to go into production, with filming beginning in February.
Originally Black Adam, as played by Dwayne Johnson, was going to be the big bad, however, it was decided to give that character his own solo movie.
Strong is no stranger to being the villain of comic book movies. He previously played Sinestro in Green Lantern.
