Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has confirmed in a new interview that the Shazam movie, which he'll star in as Black Adam, will come sooner than expected.

This won't come as much of a surprise as The Rock has previously implied to MTV in March that Shazam is not beholden to the 2019 release date WB gave it back in October of 2014. Now, The Rock is sounds much more confident.

"No, I don't think it is going to be that far away," The Rock said when asked if fans will have to wait until 2019 to see Shazam. "It's going to be earlier than that. I don't think 2019."

Listen to The Rock's comments in the video below.
