  1. Shazam is the hero and should be in the front ,but the truth is he WILL play second to the Rock, why the fuck did they pick such mid card star,no disrespect..and he's gonna have to put on major muscle mass to look the part unless they go the same route as Gal Gadot and do nothing except put a costume and get in front of the camera😂😂😂

  2. For the Billy Batson role I'd cast one of the following:Noah Schnapp, Nick Robinson, Corey Fogelmanis, Josh Wiggins, Daniel DiMaggio, Jacob Hopkins, Nolan Gross, Zackary Arthur, Sawyer Bell, Riley Lio, Lincoln Melcher, Jackson A. Dunn, Dartanian Sloan, Ethan Andrew Casto, Jentzen Ramirez, Mace Coronel, Jason Bonell, Aiden Arthur, Robert Daniel Sloan, or Jake Brennan

  3. This is awesome news!! Zachary Levi is a great actor who's been long overdue a "superhero" role. I always thought he'd be a great Spider-Man. This news actually has me excited once more for a new superhero movie. Love the Levi!!

  4. I grew up reading Shazam comics in the 70's. Loved the TV show. I hope he will be Captain Marvel and NOT be called Shazam, that would ruin the movie for me. The New52 and prior Trails of Shazam ruined(raped!) the characters and mythos.

  5. He obviously must have nailed his audition and they saw something in him that nobody else had. We all thought Ben was a bad choice and he ended up being the most gangster batman ever! Let the guy bulk up and Shazam it up. Let's go!

  6. what in the name of God less fuck? can please somebody explain to me why, why, there are many versatile actors buffed jacked. but chuck seriously chuck why the chuck, I mean to say what the chuck! fuck!

  7. Honestly, after all the negative response to almost every casting in comicbook movies i will wait my judgement (as always) until i see him in action.
    Just a reminder that Hugh Jackman as Wolverine was seen as a poor decision, as was Robert Downey JR for Iron Man, and so was fucking HEATH LEDGER hiself as The Joker!

  8. I think he'd be absolutely perfect in the part. I'm very happy for him. Also this news has actually got me a little excited for this upcoming movie. Before hand a Shazam movie was just meh for me, just wasn't all that interested…not any more!
