>>95107122
Real talk. Would people take the movie seriously (or as seriously as a Shazam movie can be taken) if the Rock and Cena were buff superheroes punching each other and shooting lighting out of their asses? Don't get me wrong, it would be awesome. But it could also hurt the movie.

I dunno, this guy looks cool (and I'd like him to play a cape character) but I can't see him as Shazam.

Cena at least has that man-child quality about him, like he's the badass guy that a poor kid like Billy would want to be.

>>95107226
Vince McMahon would have a goddamn super heart attack that would be felt for miles if Cena v. Rock made more money than Wrestlemania that year.

>BMJ is actually gonna be Shazam
That would be pretty cool actually.

>>95107242
It makes sense to me. I always pictured Cap, as a kid transformed in a flash of light into a superhero, as being built like a professional wrestler, or some other impossibly huge guy, because that's the sort of thing a kid would imagine.

Plus, I think Cena knows how not to take himself too seriously.

Cena would be a terrible Shazam and Rock would be an even worse Black Adam.

I can't imagine anyone who know'sa fuckign thing about either of them wanting these two fucking fools playing either character. I'd honestly rather see them in the opposite roles (rock Marvel, cena Adam) and that would be just as fucking atrocious.

Does he have a golden shovel?

Captain Marvel is such an amazing idea I can't understand why it took this long for someone to make a movie about it.

>>95107717
It literally has Johns saying that while he's not showing up in Shazam, Dwayne Johnson will be in the Black Adam solo film. But here's a source for the original casting: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/dwayne-johnsons-dc-villain-black-adam-getting-his-own-movie-966008 First result on Google.

>>95107122
Cena would be better as Cable, Brandon Routh should be Captain Marvel

>>95107810
Routh already had too many superhero gigs, what's Tom Welling up to?

>>95107624

Which cape character could CM Punk play?

>>95107798
Anon, I'm very well aware of google and it's capabilities. But I'm sick of grimy fucks like you infesting the internet with your lazy bullshit. It's Usually some kinky fro-ed black chick on facebook saying such faggot shit. When you make a claim and it's contested, you prove it with a source. That's how that works.

And also the story you linked as well as the one it linked both fail to use the word "cast" and "contract" and "signed". because none of it was confirmed in any way shape or form.

I bet you think Magniello Deathstroke is in batman as well, right?

>>95107846
either or, having an old superman actor play Captain Marvel just works on so many levels.

John Cena can do the appropriate amount of cheese to be the Big Red Cheese, he has the body for it, and he's proven able to work with Dwayne "The Black" Adam.

Roman would make a better Shazam.

This would make me watch it and I don't even care about mandrama

>>95107262
The Rock is already taken seriously as an actor. There are people who don't even know he was a wrestler.

Look I'm really not trying to be a dick in saying this, I'd appreciate honesty but I don't expect it.

Do any of you above that are excited for this and are doing the trilogy meme actually know anything about Cap? Do you know a single thing about him? Or are you just pumped for the wrestling maymay to take place on screen?

These two would butcher both of these roles. It wouldn't even be a bastardized version. It would be worse than what Rock did to Hercules.

Yes, Seth Rollins betrayed them in behest of Triple H and got shot up to the top of the company, it sucked. Then he got injured.

Then WWE started pushing Roman non-stop as their top guy and it also sucked.

And Dean Ambrose was there sometimes too and he sucked the most of all of them.

I can't believe they're making a fucking meme movie of a campy C-list hero who hasn't been relevant in decades. What's next, a LoSH movie?

The best thing about Cena being cast as SHAZAM is that every thread about the movie will be /asp/ lite and the SHAZAM fags will cry non-stop about it.

>>95108342
This. I'm actually really peeved that /co/ knows so little about Shazam. This thread is embarrassing.

Makes sense to me and could actually be pretty hype.

Shazam is a stupid juvenile concept. Doesn't fit with the dceu AT FUCKING ALL

And the fact that it's turning into fucking wwe bro-dude fest is terrible

>>95108509

>>95108509

I wouldn't worry about it.

>>95108517
>Shazam is a stupid juvenile concept.
I agree with the rest of your post but why is it juvenile? Not even trying to fight or be aggressive. I legitimately want to know why you think this. Sincerely, do you find Superman or Wonder Woman less juvenile than Shazam?

>>95108555
A ten year turning into a grown man that has super powers but retains his child brain? Literally appealing to a child's "power fantasy"

>>95108517
the fact that its turning into a wwe bro-dude fest is the most compelling aspect of the movie

>>95108607
>but retains his child brain
Literally what I've been refuting ITT. I'm the Shazamfag they're being faggots about. He has the knowledge of Solomon. Correctly written he isn't a child in a man's body. He's just a man that reverts back to a child when he says the name.

You do realize each letter stands for a mythological being, right? Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, and Mercury.

>>95107122
They should take a really talented kid actor to play Billy and have that kid act out all the action as Captain Marvel. They put a aged-up, roided-out version of that kid into the film entirely in post production.

Who would be a good choice of actor for...SABBAC!

>>95108648
Wow so shazam is even fucking stupider than I thought. Acquiring shazam and incorporating him into the dceu were both massive mistakes.

>>95108743
>Acquiring shazam and incorporating him into the dceu were both massive mistakes
>Acquiring shazam
Please leave you're clearly baiting. I hate the state that /co/ is in. This is despicable. They got shazam when they got fawcett's assets in a legal settlement. They simply wanted him out of print.

Did shazam have invisibility powers before?

>>95108408
To be fair though, he's been out of the spotlight for a very long time. I didn't much care for his Nu52 re-imagining, but it did seem to connect with people, at least here on /co/

>>95108517
ding-dong diddly cringe

Cena has been my fan casting for Captain Marvel for years. As long as they make the movie fun and above all child-friendly, he should be great.

Shazam has a normie following because of his fight with Superman in Justice League. I'd actually love the novelty of Cena playing Shazam, because the Rock is playing Black Adam

>>95108648
No one was written him accurately or defined him. I mean, doesn't the courage of Achilles protect against mind control? I've never seen it come up. Ever.

>>95108648
But iirc that was retconned in one of his modern runs

Now Captain Marvel is literally Billy Batson in a superhero body

>>95107122
Danny DeVito as Billy Batson and Cena as shazam.

>Wisdom, not knowledge.
Sincerely, what would you say the difference is.

Looks like that's true sadly.

>>95108927
Sucks that he seems to be the version that connected since anon put it pretty bluntly above how silly that is. he really has become a power fantasy now. That sucks.

>>95109006
The rock isn't playing black adam. And Black Adam isn't in Shazam. Why would courage protect him from mind control, though?
