[craigaat]

It's not confirmed.

that's very perceptive of you. he's engaged to rose byrne, so he's probably not an idiot.

 

[paulogonza]

It's not confirmed.

well the NL president confirm he is not a JL member

 

[Loki882]

No, the NL president said that the Shazam movie wouldn't be a "JL film." However that in no way precludes the possibility of him joining the JL, it just won't happen in HIS movie.

I had to look her up. Is she renowned for being very intelligent?

 

[TeeKay]

I think whoever plays Shazam has to act like a kid in a hugely muscular adults body. Sort of like Tom Hanks in big (not the look but in the acting).

Could some comedic actor pull that off? Maybe, but personally I would feel better with some dramatic actor who could bulk up and really act the part.

Channing Tatum.

 

[Joeyjojo72]

I guess I'm the only one who does not feel that he can really act.I have not seen Hercules yet, but the commercial does not look appealing. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm taking a chance bashing the Rock on this forum. Lol I just think that the character Black Adam is going to need some serious acting talent behind it. I hope The Rock can do it some justice. No pun intended.

He doesn't have much range and is far from a great actor but he looks the part and (apparently) has a pretty big fan base. As long as he's not expected to be the standout character, a la Hopkins-lecter or Ledger-Joker or Hiddles-Loki, it might work out.

They're talking BA up to get folks excited, but I expect the casting of the lead to be the real focus - actingwise anyway. Tatum is a bit overrated, but he can do comedy and is always game. He's certainly got more range than The Rock. There are probably better options I haven't thought of though.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

So will Shazam have the power to listen to music and instantly identify it in his film?

 

[BigA]

I'm a big Rock fan, but one thing I remember from Hercules was when the Rock was giving the big speech before the battle--it sounded like one of is WWE segments. I was waiting for him to say, "Were going to take those swords, turn them sum***** sideways, and stick them straight up their candy a$$es."

 

[Rowsdower!]

Apparently not, if she's marrying that guy.

 

[Kane52630]

Could be worse...it could've been Nick Kroll.

Hey! Ruxin is awesome!

 

[Da-Scribe]

Seann William Scott for Shazam? Him and Johnson actually have a ton of chemistry together. I have sold myself on this idea. Seann William Scott for Shazam!!

 

[manofsteel4life]

Channing Tatum.

He popped in my head today and I was racing to post his name and you beat me to it

 

[TheNextNolan22]

He'd be a great choice.....If he wasn't Gambit.

 

[manofsteel4life]

He'd be a great choice.....If he wasn't Gambit.

Yea I totally forgot he was cast as Gambino lol....I remember back during the post SR days and he was brought up many times for Supes....I think Jump st has made him less hated now lol

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

So I'm guessing this is the second 2016 DC movie.

 

[Mrs. Wayne]

So I'm guessing this is the second 2016 DC movie.

It seems like it will be...

 

[TheNextNolan22]

I still think either this or Wonder Woman will be the 2nd 2016 DC film.

 

[Wildcard]

Admittedly, I wanted Johnson as Shazam but he'd be perfect for either, really. Should be epic.

 

[Silliminite]

I still think either this or Wonder Woman will be the 2nd 2016 DC film.

Wonder Woman being the 2nd 2016 DC film would be great, but it's unlikely. Snyder's directing BvS and JL and he'll want perfect continuity between the two films. Since it's highly unlikely Snyder will direct a WW film as well, i don't see it happening.

 

[BatmanVSuperman]

Lol Rick Malambri!!! Remember when everyone suggested him for Superman pre Cavill? And Harmon Walsh!!

Lol never heard of either I looked up Harmon Walsh and he looks pretty awesome for a Bale type Batman.

This dude has a great look for a superhero

 

[BatmanVSuperman]

Looked up Rick. I don't see Superman or Batman. For a superhero looks wise, has the look of like Captain America.
