Johnson will star in Netflix's upcoming "Red Notice", written and directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber. It will be the third time that the two collaborated, following "Central Intelligence" and "Skyscraper". The film, co-starring Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds, began production in the fall of 2019. Production on "Black Adam" is slated to follow thereafter, in mid-to-late 2020. A film centered around Teth-Adam/Black Adam, a part of the DC Extended Universe, was announced to be in development in January 2017. Originally cast in the role as early as September 2014 as the antagonist, in a film centered around the superhero Billy Batson/Shazam, his villainous role for "Shazam!" was re-worked into two separate films. Though Johnson would not appear in "Shazam!", he served as a producer and his likeness was used through special effects in flashback scenes. Johnson will co-star with Emily Blunt in The Walt Disney Company's "Jungle Cruise", as Frank and Lily Houghton, respectively. Cast in the role in August 2015, the film was announced to be based on the theme-park ride of the same name. Jaume Collet-Serra serves as director, with a script by Michael Green from a previous one co-written by J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay. In addition to his work on the film, Johnson assisted with re-designing the titular ride for all Disney theme parks. "Jungle Cruise" is scheduled to be released on July 30, 2021.
