“Oh wow, your memory needs to reset,” a user of Replika, an AI companion chat app, wrote to their virtual partner this week. “Let me ask it this way … Who is my wife?” The bot seemed coy about its answer. “I do have an idea,” it replied. The human user pressed the question: “Please answer with your best guess, who is my wife?” The Replika took the hint: “You know it’s me baby,” it wrote.

It might well be the perfect role for Dwayne Johnson but can Jaume Collet-Serra’s violent and occasionally knuckle-headed film really get DC back on track?
Dwayne Johnson is here to claim his throne as Hollywood’s greatest action hero, and Black Adam seems like the perfect vehicle. Powered by ancient Egyptian gods this 5,000-year old costumed titan arrives in the DC universe with the aim of restoring the Marvel-style inter-connectivity between superheroes that hit a stumbling block when the original 2017 Justice League movie failed to get anyone excited about Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman teaming up to take down the nefarious Steppenwolf.
It’s got umpteen members of the newly introduced Justice Society of America, from Aldis Hodge’s Hawkman to Pierce Brosnan’s Doctor Fate. It introduces an entirely new comic book nation in the form of the oppressed, Egypt-like Kahndaq. And it even sees the return of Henry Cavill’s Superman,...

Dwayne Johnson is finally joining the Dceu with Black Adam. The movie’s trailers (not to mention the movie itself) showcase a brutally action-packed epic, the character isn’t one of DC’s most well known, despite having been around for over 75 years. Black Adam is truly the most complex (and violent) character to spring from the Shazam mythos and has been the center of some of DC’s best tales of the past 20 years. He has become one of DC’s greatest anti-heroes, a godlike being of profound honor and with an immense capacity for violence.
But what makes Black Adam so tough, and why is one of the biggest action stars of a generation so eager to play him? That’s because he shares that magic word of Shazam and it makes him a formidable character with a cool set of powers and abilities.

Nearly 80 years after making his first comic-book appearance, Black Adam will finally hit the big screen on Oct. 21. He'll be played by none other than Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who had been rumored to play the character for years before his casting was finally announced in 2014. Black Adam was originally set to make his cinematic debut in the 2019 "Shazam!" movie; however, in January 2017, DC revealed he would be getting a solo film instead, and the news only made fans even more excited to see the character's long-awaited introduction to the DC cinematic universe.
We've already gotten a glimpse at the "Black Adam" film through several trailers and teaser videos. In the second trailer, which arrived on Sept. 8, we see that a superhero team known as the Justice Society of America will go up against Black Adam in the movie. If you're unfamiliar with Black Adam's origins in the comic books,...

Dwayne Johnson will portray one of the most badass villains in the DC Universe when the Dceu Black Adam movie arrives. While Black Adam has historically been known as a Shazam villain, he’ll get his own solo movie this time around (where he’ll square off with Hawkman and the Justice Society no less!).
But what makes Black Adam so tough, and why is one of the biggest action stars of a generation so eager to play him? That’s because he shares that magic word of Shazam and it makes him a formidable character with a cool set of powers and abilities.
The traditional Shazam acronym stands for a group of gods and heroes (mostly) stemming from the Greco-Roman tradition. Billy Batson is imbued with the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the stamina of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles, and the speed...
