That would work for me.
The Rock has a very youthful personality. He could play Captain Marvel perfectly.
Who would they pick for Billy Batson I wonder?
I don't see him as Shazam thought. I see more as MM or Black Adam, maybe Lobo.Rock as Shazam and as Jason Momoa as Black Adam.
Yeah i brought that up a while ago, i could definitely see that happening. would be perfect casting.Rock as Shazam and as Jason Momoa as Black Adam.
I could see Johnson as J'onn, and I could see him play it in a way that actually surprises people by tamping down the sort of over the top-ness audiences might expect. J'onn is taciturn, stoic, philosophical and compassionate with an outsider's view of humanity different from Superman's due to coming to Earth as a full fledged adult. As long as they keep Johnson as J'onn in "Martian" mode and don't moon the audience with him also playing some secret ID also. (He's a perfect shape shifter... Why would he half ass things? Hire other actors to play J'onn in disguise.) J'onn is a low bravado kind of character, so some may think Johnson is not a right fit, but if he could play MM as a sort of Zen like warrior/protector I think he could pull it off swimmingly. And when it comes to power, The Martian Manhunter is a huge asset to the JLA, and right up there with GL, Supes and Flash. My one misgiving is that I am a little unsure of Johnson's voice as J'onn. But that goes hand in hand with the perfomance I suppose, so I'd be equally willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on that.
Lobo
