FirstShowing.net has an interview with The Rock where he talks about playing Black Adam in Shazam. In the interview, he says "They first approached me about playing Captain Marvel, and they also said 'and there's also this interesting character too called Black Adam.? I said oh, okay, great. And we went down to Comic-Con to show the trailer of Get Smart. Down there talking to all the fans they were like 'you should look into Black Adam.?
From there the buzz, which was overwhelming as MTV confirms, made it all the way back up to the studio. Now they're revising it and working on changing Black Adam's character to play off of the strengths (no pun intended) of 'The Rock.'"
Black Adam is a fictional comic book character whose morally ambiguous nature has his character fall between the lines of heroism and villainy; as a result, he has associated himself with both superheroes and supervillains at different times.
