HOLY MOLEY!

That is great casting.

 

[DeGenerate10]

I don't know how I feel about this. I was really hoping for Armie Hammer. But I'll hope for the best.

 

[Guts]

He was Fandral in Thor: The Dark World and Thor: Ragnarok.

 

[mat-chow]

This is great news! I really like it.

 

[Juan1193]

I think he's a good choice! Can't wait to hear more casting news!

 

[Maze]

Perfect casting! Well done!

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Is he good?? I only remember watching one episode of Chuck with Yvonne Strahovsky on it and this guy was playing the role of a bumbling fool. So not much to go off on. So, what's the consensus??

 

[Joe Von Zombie]

He's perfect.

 

[BH/HHH]

My worry with casting Shazam has been could they get someone who can believably play the child in the body of an adult and I think with Levi they have found a great choice.

Thank god it wasn’t Cena or Hammer. I don’t think either of those were right for this, for different reasons.

They got the guy who's most known for playing a manchild.
He's also the voice of this guy:

[smallville fan]

Should've gotten a Superman reject.

S**t casting.

 

[Mister J]

I haven't seen much of him outside a couple of episodes of Chuck and the Thor: TDW spot, but the early consensus on Al Gore' Internet seems to be of the 'yay' variety, so cool. I'm just glad the project seems to be moving forward.

 

[Willi Berg]

Gotta be honest and say I am not that excited about this casting.

But, I can see why they chose him. He could do well.

Kind of has to move forward considering filming starts February 5, 2018 lol

 

[Mandon Knight]

Wanted Hammer ideally but this is solid news, good choice.

 

[Primal Slayer]

I don't hate the casting...I just feel like he isn't what I envisioned? I was expecting someone bigger and bulkier.

 

[BH/HHH]

I don’t think Hammer could play this part in all honesty. It had to be someone who has a bit of goofiness and can play a child in a mans body.

Easy, 'Heh Zach, can I interest you in a gym pass' ?

 

[Willi Berg]

He's got the cheesy grin, I guess.

My thinking for Hammer was the amazing on screen bon ami of he and Cavill in MFU, just the thought of that spark between Superman and Shazam made me feel excited that it could be for a DC film.

Those dates mean nothing to me at this point. Cameras roll or papa spank.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Yeah that's true. I'm interested to see him bulk up.

Bye bye basic bod

Hello superhero bod.

He can still be Hal Jordan. Cav-El and Hammer had an electric chemistry in MFU so I also want to see Hammer in the DC Films Universe in some capacity.
