Pretty nice cast i agree with most.

I'm not sure who I'd cast as flash In place of krasinsky, and for huston. Cooper as GL is cool, but I really want john Stewart.

Manginello is probably my my second pick for shazam after the Rock and before Army Hammer.

If Brainiac was gender bent swinton would be the way to go although physicality with superman would be an interesting challenge to overcome; cumberpatch is my top choice there though. Although looking at that pic of her she'd be my top choice for killer frost.

BRAINIAC/TILDA SWINTON

I dislike most of your "choices" except for those that have already been cast, but this one is really interesting. Although obviously gender neutral, I hadn't considered actresses who might play Brainiac. Good lateral thinking.

 

[CaptainWagner]

I'd have him back as Hercules

Well, if The Rock is Shazam and Sorbo plays a villain, there could be a Hercules vs. Hercules...

 

[Rodrigo90]

 

[NosfeRomas]

Wonderful casting. My ideal Darskeid would be Michael Ironside as Dan Turpin morphing into Darskeid a la Final Crisis.

 

[Young Superman]

If Captain Marvel Jr had appeared on screen in the late 1950s, a young Elvis Presley would have been perfect for the role.

thanks dude and yeah i posted a slightly different cast on this page with pictures.

 

[chamber-music]

Sam Reid would make a good Alan Scott

 

[ЯɘvlveR]

If Captain Marvel Jr had appeared on screen in the late 1950s, a young Elvis Presley would have been perfect for the role.

pretty sure elvis patterned his look after cap marvel jr.

 

[ЯɘvlveR]

I think it's safe to assume that Darkseid will appear in a future movie, and perhaps Because of that, we'll get Orion as well, so who would you guys cast as Orion?
