Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson might be in a "Shazam movie" as the "Hercules" star has been continuously teasing fans about his rumored appearance in the DC universe for films.

According to the Movie Pilot, his light-hearted taunting had fans and action-hero movie fanatics guessing his impending appearance, suggesting titles like Manhunter, Lobo and of course, "Shazam" movie.

There was even a ridiculous guess that he would be cast as Superman. But much to the dismay of fans fantasizing about it, the buff "Hercules" actor gave sufficient hints that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will be in "Shazam."

A single thread of mystery remains, however: Will Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson be in "Shazam" or play Black Adam? Both characters scream "Shazam!" when transforming themselves into superheroes. Nonetheless, given the actor's hints, the former seems the more likely role.

As of now, this is all the info DC fans and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson fans can bank on. But the possibility of "Shazam movie" making it big still looms heavily. Screenrant gives five good reasons why:

• "Shazam" movie centers on an interesting unique lead character. It is a fusion of a teenage boy and an adult man with the 15-year old orphan boy changing into a full-grown man superhero every time he says the magic word.

• Superman vs. Superman type of action can be more exciting. After the success of "Man of Steel," producers were wary that the audience would not be open to the idea of two superman-like characters from opposing forces battling each other. However, staging such a showdown allows the director to play with the scenes as he chooses. It also helps that Shazam is possessed with a one-of-a-kind ability to share his powers with his family. So the audience could not begin to guess how far the action could go with such a power at work!

• Mythology is at the heart of the mystery explaining Shazam's origin and powers.
