One will lead to the other, I think. DC didn't give a shit about Wonder Woman until Gal Gadot was a thing.

Honestly I'm not even mad about it. Cap's books are great when they DO come out (Curse of Shazam, the Thunderworld one-shot, the Convergence miniseries), so I don't mind if the character goes defunct for a little while in between.

Shazam Rebirth fucking WHEN

Carol's got more in common with Wonder Woman than Shazam does.

>>95117932

Billy and Wonder Woman aren't complete cunts so no

Who should play Sivana, Mary and Cap Jr?

>>95117949
Your mom, my mom and my friend's mom

Can they call him Captain Marvel, I know they can in the comics, but is the movie any different when it comes to movies?

>>95117739
Terribly. Not even because of Carol: The name Captain Marvel is just much more well known for the DC one. I didn't even know a Marvel comics Captain Marvel existed until I was in my twenties.

>>95117884
Are you under the impression anybody gives a shit about Shazam?

They can call him Captain Marvel in whatever they want, be it comics, tv shows, movies-- whatever. They just can't call him Captain Marvel on any of the billing, advertising or merchandise.

I'm not sure why this is such a big deal when Neo's name wasn't The Matrix, but whatever.

>>95117575
>12-15 years old
Isn't Billy usually younger than that? I always think of him as 8-10. Plus it could take 10 years to make a trilogy so they might end up with a 25+ year old playing a kid.

>>95118093

It's funny, when Brie was cast I saw a bunch of articles saying" "SHAZAM" Brie Larson is Captain Marvel" so I'd say yes

>>95117644

>>95118179
good we need a teenage Mary but they might sadly play the lets change the race card

>>95117949
Jimmy Hart, Nikki Bella, Finn Balor.

John cena is not a good actor. I have no idea why people want wrestlers for superhero movies.

>>95118404
They're the closest thing to real superheroes; muscular men in flamboyant costumes playing the roles of heroes and villains

>>95118404
And gal can't act and she did fine, Cena at the very least looks the damn part

>>95118404
Good wrestlers are insanely charismatic. They're also jacked and can do most of their own stunts. They're basically ideal candidates for action movie roles.

>>95117575
The only place he is ever called shazaam is in the title of his comics and earth zero.
Every alternate universe or other media calls him captain marvel.

>>95118257
Kek.
To be fair that may have been from really lazy research. I guess it depends on what site these articles were on.

>>95118404
The Rock is a good actor, though. But he's exceptional.
I wouldn't want Cena: I watched a bit of The Marine, and god damn it was terrible. It's a damn shame Patrick Warburton is too old.
Galavant was way better than it had any right to be, so I'd give Sasse a chance even though he doesn't really look the part.

>>95118498
Yes but DC has changed his name for any "proper" appearances, so Earth-0, the fact that he might actually be called Captain marvel is great, might piss off some MCUcks

>>95118526
It still shows that the DC Captain Marvel is a lot more prominent and comes up much more often. I'm guessing 9 in 10 people don't even know Carol isn't the first Captain Marvel in Marvel comics.

>>95118530
>The Marine

Dude, that was over a decade ago. Go watch The Wall or Trainwreck to get a more accurate view of what he's like these days.

Yeah, I think he can pull that off.

>>95117739
I dunno.
On the one hand dccap is a much more popular character but on the other hand people trust marvel movies to be good more.

>>95117575
Is there a chance this will be, dare I say it? good?

>>95118007
I had no idea Captain Marvel was from DC tbqh

>Called Captain MARVEL
>Not from Marvel

I dunno, it just made sense to me, maybe that's what other people would think

>>95118139
Yeah seems a little odd

>>95117575
Oh man, that picture got me excited, glanced at it and thought it was news about Gleason and Tomasi doing a Captain Marvel ongoing for some reason.

>>95118706
https://batman-news.com/2017/08/02/shazam-fun-lighthearted-dceu/

David Sandberg's been saying all the right things lately. I'd say I'm more optimistic for this movie than I've been for a DC film in a long time.

>>95117575
God it's a shame that The Rock as Black Adam is being spun off into his own solo title and not appearing with Cena

I hope both do well and we get a third movie where they face off

>>95118454
>>95118472
>>95118488
So basically your argument is that he looks the part. That's the worst fucking reason to cast someone for a role. You guys' thinking are how we got all those shitty early Marvel movies in the 80s and 90s.

>>95118780
It's going to tie into the Shazam movie, most likely.

Shazam Movie -> Adam Movie -> Shazam & Adam Movie with Fight

Maybe another movie in between.

>>95118850
It's the thinking that made Arnold Schwarzenegger and Dolph Lundgren stars

>>95117575

Cringing to think of what your other dream casts are.

Probably at one point you had Triple H as Thor.

>>95118876
Except in his prime, Arnold could actually act.

I'm WWEtard so I don't get the hype surrounding John Cena. I've seen the Rock in a ton of movies so I can see why he was casted as Black Adam but to cast another wrasslin guy as Shazam seems weird.

This Joshua Sasse guy is a unknown to me so I don't know about him.

>>95118947
No he couldn't. Literally the only bit of good acting in Arnold's career was the police station scene in T1 where he played the role of "emotionless machine" perfectly.

>>95117575
Is The Rock still going to be Black Adam? Because that would be cool.

Only way it beats her is if it's good and it had Cena vs Rock, ot would have the home box office secure at least.

That said it remains to be seen how good Captain Marvel ends up being, I mean the movie won't bomb but at worst it will underperform and do Ant-Man numbers (Marvel Studios probably expects it to surpass Wonder Woman).

Marvel Comics isn't doing a good job of promoting her either, my sister's normie friends are the casuals of casuals and they think she's a cunt only from what they heard from a youtube summary of CWII.

Batista cant act for shit either yet his charisma powers him through to where you actually enjoy his performance. Cena is even more charismatic, so seeing him as Shazam will bring the laughs and action. If the director pulls a Patty Jenkins, this will be a monster hit.

I'd be okay with this. The Rock would make a better Cap though, he's got the pitch perfect level of cuddly cheese. But they went with the cosplay route of casting him as Adam. I'm sure /co/ is happy since you're all incapable of looking beyond costumes and haircuts.

>>95121340
Same.

>>95121365

The Rock is a shit actor. I'd rather he not be involved at all

Sasse just needs a hair piece and he'd be perfect. Way better than Cena.

>>95122128
This is DC of course you can't

>>95123498
Marvel had the name before DC picked up Shazam.

DC doesn't deserve it anyway, they were the ones who sued Fawcett to begin with.

>>95123498
DC sued Fawcett comics for Cap being too similar to Superman, DC then didn't use him for a while and lost the trademark and then Marvel picked it up and has consistently used the name enough to keep it.

DC can use the name in their books, but they can't use it for the name of a book, movie or to advertise the character

>>95123806
>DC can use the name in their books, but they can't use it for the name of a book, movie or to advertise the character
No Captain Marvel Movie?

AND HIS NAME

>>95124134
Should have been more clear, they can call him Captain Marvel in the film, but the movie cannot be called Captain Marvel, that's why it's called Shazam, DC seem to be adamant on changing the name to Shazam to prevent confusing casuals, so I don't know if they'll call him Cap. marvel, but the can if they want to.
