Shazam Fury of the Gods star Zachary Levi has confirmed reports that he was set to star in last year’s Black Adam film. Characters from Black Adam’s Justice Society of America were also supposed to appear in the final scene of the sequel, but the plans fell through. A report claims Black Adam star Dwayne Johnson blocked the characters from appearing in Zachary’s film and made sure the actor didn’t appear in his film either. Zachary posted on Instagram sharing the report and added, “The truth shall set you free.” (Read also: Dwayne Johnson breaks silence on Henry Cavill’s Superman exit: “We’re doing our best…”)

Days after the dismal performance of Shazam Fury of the Gods at the US box office, the star of the film spoke about the possible reasons for its failure. On Twitter, the actor wrote: “I think the biggest problem we face is marketing. This is a perfect family movie, and yet many families don’t know that. Which is just a shame.” Zachary also confirmed that the makers had plans to tie the sequel to Dwayne’s Black Adam, something the former WWE star did not agree with.

According to a report in The Wrap, Dwayne stopped the Black Adam characters from appearing in Shazam! Fury of the Gods, and also turned down a possible Zachary Levi cameo in Black Adam. The reason for this was that Dwayne wanted to continue the franchise with Henry Cavill’s Superman. Of course, it has since been confirmed that Henry will no longer be playing Superman and there will not be a second Black Adam film as the first film faced huge losses.

On Tuesday, Zachary shared The Wrap’s report and wrote, “The truth will set you free.” It is unclear if there will be a third film in the Shazam franchise. The film’s director David F Sandberg also confirmed The Wrap’s report. He had told The Hollywood Reporter after the sequel’s release, “There were characters from [Black Adam’s] Justice Society, but that collapsed three days before we rolled cameras. So Peter Safran, who produced that movie and Peacemaker, made some calls, and luckily, Jen Holland and Steve Agee were able to get together in a very short period of time.”

In the comic book universe, Black Adam is Shazam’s archenemy. Instead of appearing in the 2019 original film, Dwayne pushed for his own spinoff film. He also convinced Henry to act in Black Adam as well.
