Zachary Levi set to take on the role of DC's "Shazam!"

[reigun]

They just couldn't see him as Shazam.

I doubt Cena was ever seriously in the running. The website that broke the story had zero reputation. People just really wanted it to be true, so they went with it.

He's 191 (6'3) once he gets that Hollywood Hero stimulus package he should be good. The question now is if he can act the part.

It should not be hard to act like a kid I hope.

Missed the joke

Billy & shazam is like literally the same person...

No Billy is a little kid what are you talking about ?

 

[Take It In Blood]

Shazam is the only character that gets struck by lightning and it doesn't end up being an L

Shame he's going to probably get bodied by Darkseid in JL2 or 3

Missed the joke

I just got it. lol

Billy will be transforming into fukkin Chuck

A little kid turning into a grown muscular man ?? What's the issue . He's not chuck in real life he's a actor and will put on muscle

I just got it. lol

You aren't alone brother it took me a second.

Billy and Shazam ARE the same person... in DC comics, even in Young Justice they are the same person Billy just transforms into an older more super powered version of himself.... I bet that's how they'll write the story...

 

[Ironman]

Did you forget the copious amounts of magic in Wonder Woman?!?! shyt she is a magical being herself.

We talking about an actual wizard granting incredible power to a kid this time....plus there's a talking tiger guardian

 

[2 Up 2 Down]

I hope they draw from The Power of Shazam series. That's still the best that DC has done with the character, IMO

This could be a great movie if the writers are good.

Wonder who'll play baby Billy
They could always get one of the boys from the new IT

They got the kid who played Eddie to play the best friend Freddy Freeman

'Shazam' Adds 'It' Star Jack Dylan Grazer to Play Freddy

I hope the actor they cast as Billy is a good actor because this kid might steal his thunder, no pun intended.

I think the kid thing is the hardest part. Especially if you're eking multiple films.


Kids grow up so quickly in comparison to the time frame of film making.


So if they take an actual 12 year old by the time they make a sequel he would be old as fukk already looking

They can use Mike from Stranger Things. Got that Michael Cera shyt going on where he'll look like a 12-14 hrs. old for many years.

Too many fukking hero movies

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

shazam stinks
