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.

If Tatum decides to play Shazam, he'll definitely need to bulk up. The Rock is HUGE.

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?

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.

Your're right. Then there's the fact Billy is a kid while Teth was an adult

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.

There also needs to be a child actor for Billy, unless they'll make him stay Shazam for the entire film.

So if the Rock is Black Adam who is suppose to be more Arabic in origin at least that's how they always draw him, then Captain Marvel should be an unknown actor BUT the person who play's billy SHOULD be famous for more Star Power.

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

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

My top choice is Daniel Cudmore (Colossus from the X-Men films). The guy even tweeted that he'd be up for the role, if offered.

If not him, Channing Tatum would do great, now that he's apparently left the Gambit movie. Jon Hamm is another possibility.
