![]() Earlier in the day, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson shared details on his solo film for Shazam’s nemesis, Black Adam, who will face off against not one, but four, superheroes in Black Adam. ![]() It wasn’t the only Shazam news to be revealed at DC FanDome. In the same breath, he announced that he had a role in the new Shazam movie, muddying the waters of the Shazam/ Kazaam/Sinbad/Shaq argument forever. The Sinbad/Shazam connection is such a widespread misconception that it even reached the actor himself, as he explained in a surprise appearance on the Shazam! panel of DC FanDome. There was a movie about a genie played by a famous, contemporary Black actor/luminary - but it was called Kazaam, and it starred Shaquille O’Neil.

The idea that Sinbad played a genie in a movie called Shazam sometime in the 1990s is a prime example of the Mandela Effect. There are also other possibilities that would explain why we remember a Sinbad Shazam movie. ![]() Kazaam was remarkably poorly received and has since been blocked from our memories, potentially with the better imaginary Sinbad version. Right now you might be wondering “Wasn’t David ‘Sinbad’ Adkins already in a movie called Shazam?” No. Truly, Shaq and Sinbad look nothing alike, so the Shazam versus Kazaam mixup must be the source of that conflation. What to know before Saturday’s big DC FanDome event IN the first two minutes of SCARY MOVIE the dumb blonde says her favorite scary movie is SHAZAM THAT STARS SHAQ NOT SINBAD. ![]()
