I mean you would need a equally hunky guy don't you?
If Dwayne Johnson is Black Adam, who can be Shazam?
@emperor777: No.
-yify
I dont know, but Im surprised we havent heard any rumors about who they want to play him. Maybe if Channing Tatum isnt going to be Gambit he could be Shazam.
Channing Tatum is the best choice I can think of.
I think his comic timing and delivery could make him a believable big kid and he and The Rock had chemistry in G.I. Joe: Retaliation not to mention he's one of the few who wouldn't be overshadowed by him.
We need someone who is big is enough to not look puny fight Black Adam, has enough screen presence to not be over shadowed by the Rock, and sort of has that baby faced look to him and sort of looks like him. Now who could that be?
If Tatum decides to play Shazam, he'll definitely need to bulk up. The Rock is HUGE.
True but Black Adam should be bigger than Shazam imo. Adds more to the intimidation and meaness black adam should have. While tatum should get bigger he should get big enough to where he looks imposing but black adam slightly more so.
Well, Dwayne normally has the middle-eastern-look you would expect of Black Adam, the only thing I am concerned about is if he can pull off the charisma and arrogance Adam tends to fill the room with when 'lesser' people are present. (I dont recall him being able to do that in movies like the Mummy 2)
In regards to Shazam, well you would certain need a big guy to portray the worlds mightiest mortal. But at the same time you need someone that can act as if he's still twelve years old, which I think is going to be difficult. So I think we are going to end up with a guy most of us have never heard of that's bulked up for the part... kinda like Caville for Superman.
@dbvse7: Shazam used to be a super corny character. Lol
"Gee Wiz"

Your're right. Then there's the fact Billy is a kid while Teth was an adult
@outside_85: Well if we going to get someone that doesn't look like Wonder Woman then we can get somebody that doesn't look like Teth or Billy.
You can get a scrawny kid for Batson and then cgi him onto a bulkier body as Captain Marvel.
what about Justin bieber
I know you're joking, but he wouldn't be the worst to play a young adult Batson.
@mattydavehalpeo: yes lol
@outside_85: Well if we going to get someone that doesn't look like Wonder Woman then we can get somebody that doesn't look like Teth or Billy.
Except Gal actually does look like Diana.
I said it before and i'll say it again, Brandon Routh would've been a perfect Captain Marvel/Shazam. He's big, charismatic, and is no stranger to playing Super heroes. And hell, just imagine all the inside jokes lol like "you look just like Superman??" haha
After him though, I would say Patrick Warburton, Armie Hammer, or Joe Magnellio.
@emperor777: No.

@zaied: Isnt it far too early to cast Billy Batson.
Well, Dwayne normally has the middle-eastern-look you would expect of Black Adam...
Well he is from Hawaii...

True, it's the black hair and the tan he always has.
I could've sworn I heard john cena among this situation and I could actually. see that and id love to see the chemistry these two would bring
@outside_85: Donna Troy, yeah.
@outside_85: Donna Troy, yeah.
Who is a mirror copy of Diana :)
@outside_85: Depends on the artist

No, as in she literally is the mirror image of Diana.

Well he's been doing good a good job on ballers with occasional arrogance/condescending attitude, talking to adults like they're children. He's also charismatic, though it's been in a different way.

While I am totally blank on whats going on in Ballers (other than it's a thing Johnson seems really pleased about), I doubt the attitude and presence he has there is the kind Adam has; which is much like being trapped in a room with a gorilla, you never know where that one thing you do is going to set it off and has it charge across the room and rip your arms off. Charisma might have been the wrong word :S

Or you can get Justin Bieber to actually bulk up. I know it's a very long shot.
@judasnixon: If he was younger and more muscular yes. Its a shame too. He could always be Uncle Marvel.

A long shot definitely.

For that reason was that I was hoping for the Rock to play Shazam he’s BIG and can act like a KID with no problem but since he’s going to be Black Adam I think Joe Manganiello could fit the part
@duzz: Ok how many famous kid actors with a lot of fame and star power do you know? Even then by the time 2019 rolls around he'll be almost 20. Its too soon to cast Billy.
