AceShowbiz - Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson wants to share his excitement about playing Black Adam in the upcoming superhero movie "Shazam". The hunky actor posted a photo on Twitter while also seemingly calling out Superman.
The photo features himself sitting on a car's hood while wearing a tight Superman T-Shirt and showing off his impressive abs. "No capes. #BlackAdamIGKSDITD #OneFineDay #TethInTheBloodstream," so read the caption of the photo.

People start to speculate that Johnson may call the Supes to fight with him in the movie. A site guesses that the "#BlackAdamIGKSDITD" hashtag made by Johnson stands for "Black Adam is gonna kick Superman directly in the d**k." However, the "S" can also stands for Shazam after all.
Meanwhile, the "No capes" seems to channel the story of Adam in the comic books. Adam originally appeared without cape in the Fawcett Comics early issue, but later gained a cape in "The New 52" reboot.
"Shazam" follows Young Billy Batson who "finds himself gifted with the power of the wizard Shazam to fight against the forces of evil. With the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the stamina of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles and speed of Mercury, he is the holder of the power of S.H.A.Z.A.M, he is Captain Marvel."
The movie has not started pre-production yet, but it is already scheduled to arrive in the U.S. on April 5, 2019.
