I have some good guesses on who will be taking the mantle of certain superheroes that will be coming to the big screen within the next five years.
Billy Batson/Shazam--The "Rumored" contenders for the role are good but no one that really suprises me. I think Jake Gyllenhall could actually make a really geuine earnest portrayl. Joe, however you spell his last name, from True Blood doesn't seem right at all. I have not been impressed with any of his roles. So, I will say to no to those. I say that with the casting of Dwayne Johnson, someone who isnt attempting to physically match up to him would be a smart move. The movie is going to rely on fantasy, imagination, and humor. So take a note from Marvel and find someone who has a funnybone, but has not yet to have a platform to really spread his wings of diversity. Who am I referring to, none other than JASON SEGAL.
I have been a fan of his for years now, and he has most certainly worked his way up. I could see him bulking up considerably but not attempting to match Mr. Johnson. Just think about it, Shazam is when Billy Batson says Shazam, via magic, to become Shazam. Black Adam on the other hand is an old egyptian dude, who has been asleep. So, Mr. Segal does not have the look and personality of the younger version Billy Batson. Mr. Segal could have the look of, Little Billy got roided up in ten minutes without looking like The Ultimate Warrior. OK, there.
Black Bolt--Ok, I will cut to the chase. I think all the rumors of Vin Diesel taking up two roles for Marvel Studios is true. I really think that He will indeed be playing Black Bolt. I see him being ok with the role of groot, a tree that is limited to three words and his face isnt ever on screen. Same essence with Black Bolt, just where its Mr. Diesel's face but not hardly ever his voice his heard. I gurantee that Mr. Diesel knows his limitations and knows that he is not going to be Superman, Green Lantern, The Thing, Wonder Woman, or even Howard the Duck, so be happy with a walking talking tree and a guy who wont talk.
Green Lantern--It is really too early to speculate who DC will be going with for their next Green Lantern movie. I say the odds of the movie being focused on more than one human Green Lantern character. A safe bet would to say that this movie will feature Hal Jordan and Jon Stewart in a sort of Buddy Cop theme to it. Sp I won't even guess who could play the roles, Just to speculate that Jordan and Stewart will be the main characters. DC could be riding high in success if they gave the reboot an ensemble cast to focus on Green Lantern Corps, rather than just one dude with a ring.
Captain Marvel--Ok, in cases of 'Almost cast', movie studios usually remember the ones they passed oever for the later roles. Now some cases it is the actors fault(Not in negative sense), that they decline a role. Example, Sam Rockwell. Mr. Rockwell was very very close candidate for the role of Tony Stark when putting the movie together back between 2005 and 2006. Later for Iron Man 2, he was cast as a Justin Hammer. Ok, Captain Marvel. EMILY BLUNT. In my opinion, she is one the best working actresse today. Beautiful, Smart, dedicated to the craft of acting and oh yea, she is a badass. Maybe the reason she declined Black Widow role and Sharon Carter role was because she wanted something more. Something more she could sink her teeth into. Who else than Carol Danvers. Mark my words, if she is not cast as the role, she will be most certainly one the final contenders.
That is all i got for now, comment below for your thoughts.
