With the caption saying "No capes. #BlackAdamIGKSDTID #OneFineDay #TethInTheBloodstream," his photo suggests that he will be having an epic showdown with the Man of Steel, which is played by Cavill.

Twitter user Joe Duffy guessed that "#BlackAdamIGKSDTID" means "Black Adam Is Gonna Kick Superman Down In The Dick. Meanwhile, Twitter user Dan Butler said that seeing Black Adam kick the Man of Steel "Direct In The Dick" would be interesting.

Meanwhile, Teth in "#TethInTheBloodstream" refers to Teth-Adam, Black Adam's actual name, which is similar to Superman's Kal-El, as per Collider.

According to Cinema Blend, while Black Adam and Superman have shared the big screen a number of times before, another filmic battle between the two powerful DC characters would absolutely be extreme. However, Superman's role in "Shazam!" could be a minor one, to avoid getting fans' attention from the villain-turned-hero.

As of now, Johnson is enlisted to a number of projects, which include Carey Hayes' action adventure "Journey to the Center of the Earth 4," Brad Peyton's action fantasy "Journey 3: From the Earth to the Moon," and car-racing action film "Furious 8." Meanwhile, Cavill is set to appear in Zack Snyder's "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" and the two-part film "Justice League."

"Shazam!" is slated to premiere in theaters in the United States on Apr. 5, 2019 while Snyder's "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" is set to hit theaters on Mar. 25, 2016.
