btw;

some of you are likely like "why Shazam, why does he matter, and why does this movie matter"

here's why:

it should be a smash success

1. It stars a KID who is a grown god level superhero. You can market this to all ages and it will hit the mark.
2. His main foe is a physical equal in Black adam. The fight (assuming they go there) will be amazing.
3. The movie and the charactor are light hearted and kind spirited...this will be a CONTRAST to today's superhero movies oddly...
4. DC needs it to succeed. This is an IP that has been neglected for decades they've brought back to usage in only the late 90s.
5. The story makes for a great origin movie that MOST don't know...it isn't retread like ASM or MOS or Hulk.

This is the most excited i've been for a film announcement in a long time. Unless they hire michael bay or john woo or something stupid like that...or straight cancel it...i'm first day, preview, 3D viewing IMAX status.

saw that coming! see my last reply.

plus...the whole "orphan child who stumbles across powers and becomes a hero" CORE story is pretty cool. He is REALLY different from other heroes because of it. Even the justice league (in young justice) puts him with the Young JL for a while and he's actually HAPPIER there...

he's a classic hero that deserves great treatment. He's basically superman with a YOUNGER peter parker combined into one hero.

he'd be a good black adam if you're hiring for 'the look' but beyond that i don't know why he'd be involved

He has been tied to this for a while now. I was reading about it yesterday. That nicca is the Uwe Boll of actors

 

[Jello Biafra]

I keep hearing rumors that the DC character The rock is supposed to be playing is Black Adam. So who do you guys think would make a good Captain Marvel/Shazam? I would go with Joe Mangianello.

 

[Willy Waffle]

me looking at this thread and thinking was gonna be a remake of that sorry ass movie shaq made when he was a genie.

i didn't even know who shazam was until i entered this thread

oh i'm sorry, i misinterpreted what you were saying; i thought you mean that black adam was like garbage and people don't know who he is as compared to other movie foes.

Black Adam is the guy getting punched in the gif above. SHAZAM (aka Billy Batson) is a child who gets his powers from a wizard, and black Adam (aka Teth Adam) is from ancient Khandaq (DC Comics Egypt type place) and is the son of Ramses II. He gets his powers from a wizard as well, specifically the stamina of Shu, the swiftness of Heru, the strength of Amon, the wisdom of Zehuti (Thoth), the power of Aton, and the courage of Mehen [a set of egyptian gods].

He is essentially the physical match for Shazam, and thus, as or more powerful than Superman.
