I mean the actor from the 2011 Green Lantern movie who played Sinestro. They're bringing him back to play Doctor Sivana.

What could possibly go wrong?

That's planned for a future movie.

Shazam is obscure enough that the majority of moviegoers wouldn't recognize Black Adam and won't care.

Kind of like how the MCU retconned Starlord's dad into some stupid thing that was retconned into something else that makes no sense. Or how Ultron ended up being created by Tony instead of Hank Pym.

Apparently, Sinestro himself isn't the villain. Mark Strong, who played Sinestro, will be another villain in Shazam

Who the fuck is Dr Sivana. I feel like that's more obscure than Black Adam.

He probably is but that's predominantly because Shazam's popularity has tanked ever since he was acquired by DC. Longtime fans of Shazam will appreciate the recognition that Shazam has more antagonists than just Black Adam and the pop culture crowd won't even know who the fuck Black Adam even is.

The main people this is probably going to bother is the casual comic fan who reads some titles but not a lot and they should probably know better than to complain about characters they aren't familiar with.

He is. Black Adam is also in the movie as well and potentially has a fight with Superman. So I'm imagining at the moment that it's going to be a WW "entire movie is a flashback" style movie.

The fight with Superman may/may not happen in Shazam, but both Henry and The Rock confirmed it's happening eventually.

Nah. Marvel's villains show up for one movie and then are done forever. DC has plans to reuse Lex Luthor and Deathstroke is getting his own movie. Black Adam is also getting his own movie.

It's not really questionable that DC is treating their villains better than Marvel.

The only Marvel villain that got any reuse was Loki and he's not really a villain.

that's what some people said about Guardians after the MCU had built up a ton of goodwill by releasing a bunch of good movies first. DC couldn't even make Justice League a success.
