Executive Producer: An executive producer (EP) enables and backs up the making of a commercial entertainment product. He or she is concerned with management accounting and possibly with associated legal issues (like copyrights or royalties). An EP also contributes to the film's budget, and does not work on set.

Geoff Johns [Notable Works {As A Producer}: Green Lantern, Justice League Flashpoint Paradox, Flash {T.V. Series}]: He's noted to have been working hard on getting Shazam adapted into a proper film. He's working hard at getting the Flash into his own T.V. Series, Geoff is working hard to get projects done, and no doubt Shazam is a project just as important as another Superman film.

Charles Roven [Notable Works: The Dark Knight Trilogy, Man Of Steel, Get Smart]: Charles is really pushing forward with the forces of exposing the talent hidden in the great comic books produced by DC. He's been working hard getting many things done right, even as we speak he's working on an adaptation of Uncharted.

David Goyer [Notable Works {As A Producer}: Blade 2, Flashforward, Da Vinci's Demons]: If he's slated to become DC's Kevin Fiege, then the fate of Shazam might very well be in his hands. He's done great work in the comic book realm, and co-wrote one of the most legendary comic book films of all time, to general audiences his name is a good mark for Shazam.

Wesley Coller [Notable Works: 300, Watchmen, Man Of Steel]: Friend and Co-Collaborater along Zack Snyder, Co-Producer of Cruel and Unusual Films, he would no doubt be part of the team DC, Goyer, and Snyder would assemble to get Shazam alive and well.

Deborah Snyder [Notable Works: 300: Rise of an Empire, Watchmen, Man Of Steel]: She basically produces what ever film Zack shows an association with, and this would be a great job for them to work together on. She's a great producer and would really be another set of helping hands for the Film.

He or she is concerned with management accounting and possibly with associated legal issues (like copyrights or royalties). An EP also contributes to the film's budget, and does not work on set.

Zack Snyder [Notable Works {As A Producer}: Sucker Punch, 300: Rise of an Empire]: To be honest he's one of the big voices behind the DC Cinematic Universe. When it comes to getting another big hero off the ground. He's a bit seasoned, having produced 300: Rise of an Empire while Working on Man Of Steel.



Producer: Film producers prepare and then supervise the making of a film before presenting the product to a financing entity or a film distributor. They might be employed by a film studio or be independent, yet either way they helm the creative people as well as the accounting personnel.

Rob Tapert [Notable Works: Evil Dead {Franchise}, Drag Me To Hell, The Gift]: A friend to Sam, having Co-Founded Ghost House Pictures, he's a dedicated Producer that does a great job to keep a project going. He'd be a welcome hand into getting Shazam to strike.



Producer: Film producers prepare and then supervise the making of a film before presenting the product to a financing entity or a film distributor. They might be employed by a film studio or be independent, yet either way they helm the creative people as well as the accounting personnel.

Sam Raimi [Notable Works {As A Producer}: Xena, Hercules, Evil Dead]: Sam is a very loyal to the project Producer, and No doubt Shazam is a comic I think would be a perfect project for him to tackle, especially as a producer. No doubt if he showed interest in getting a Shazam Movie off the ground it would be souring!



Producer: Film producers prepare and then supervise the making of a film before presenting the product to a financing entity or a film distributor. They might be employed by a film studio or be independent, yet either way they helm the creative people as well as the accounting personnel.

Michael E. Uslan [Notable Works: Batman {Film Franchise}, The Spirit, The Lego Movie]: He has worked with DC and Comic Books for the majority of his life. He's starting to move into family friendly films as well. He'd be a great leg for this Movie to stand on, especially with him as a man who understands the comic book realm very well.



Production Designer: a production designer or P.D is the person responsible for the overall look of a filmed event such as films, TV programs, video games, music videos or adverts. Production designers have one of the key creative roles in the creation of motion pictures and television. Working directly with the director and producer, they must select the settings and style to visually tell the story.

Scott Chambliss [Notable Works: Mission: Impossible III, Star Trek, Star Trek Into Darkness]: Scott does a great job with environments, he has given us great views of the future, amazing looks at other worlds, and foreign environments with action all around. To really test him I'd love to see how well he'd design The Rock of Eternity, Kahndaq, and The Cave where Billy becomes Shazam. He's a talented Production Designer and someone who would fit the work needed for this type of project.



Costume Designer: A costume designer is a person who designs costumes for a film or stage production. The role of the costume designer is to create the characters and balance the scenes with texture and color, etc.The costume designer works alongside the director, scenic, lighting designer, sound designer, and other creative personnel. The costume designer may also collaborate with hair stylist, wig master, or makeup artist. In European theatre, the role is different, as the theatre designer usually designs both costume and scenic elements.

Michael Wilkinson [Notable Works: Man of Steel, Watchmen, TRON Legacy]: A wonderful Costume Designer, He takes bold choices with character costumes. He's worked on some of the best reviewed films of the last decade {as well as some flops} but with his work in DC he's mad well loved costumes, and has redesigned a Superman without trunks that even most of the hardcore fans loved. He could do a great job with Shazam.



Editor: Film editing is part of the creative post-production process of filmmaking. The term film editing is derived from the traditional process of working with film, but now it increasingly involves the use of digital technology.

Bob Murawski [Notable Works: Spider-Man Trilogy, The Hurt Locker, Oz The Great And Powerful]: As a Film Editor his cuts perfectly blend story and characterization into a thematic story. He's got experience with Comic Book Films, and knows a sharp cut over a sloppy cut. He'd be a great choice for Editor.



Cinematographer: A cinematographer (usually credited with the title director of photography, or DP) is the chief over the camera and lighting crews working on a film and responsible for achieving artistic and technical decisions related to the image. The study and practice of this field is referred to as cinematography.

Bill Pope [Notable Works: Spider-Man Trilogy, The Matrix Trilogy, Men In Black 3]: Bill is fantastic at his job, he's familiar with Comic Book Movies, he's worked well with Sam Raimi and together they could really capture the frames with such magic as they did with Spider-Man.



Composer: A film score (also sometimes called film music, background music, or incidental music) is original music written specifically to accompany a film. The score forms part of the film's soundtrack, which also usually includes dialogue and sound effects, and comprises a number of orchestral, instrumental or choral pieces called cues which are timed to begin and end at specific points during the film in order to enhance the dramatic narrative and the emotional impact of the scene in question.

Danny Elfman [Notable Works: Batman, Spider-Man 2, Oz The Great And Powerful]: Elfman is considered a modern legend of film scores. He has crafted iconic themes used again and again for Character of high caliber, including Batman and Spider-Man. There is no doubt that Elfman can harness the magical elements of Shazam, while building a huge fanfare and harness the inner power behind the characters in musical form.



Screen Story: A basis for a screenplay, often a produced idea original, or adapting from various works. This sets the overall basis for the screenplay. Credit for story authorship in the form "Screen Story by" is appropriate when the screenplay is based upon source material and a story, as those terms are defined above, and the story is substantially new or different from the source material.

Geoff Johns [Notable Works: DC Universe Online, Green Lantern Emerald Knights, Justice League {Teleplay, One Episode}] & Sam Raimi [Notable Works {As A writer}: Darkman, Evil Dead Trilogy, Drag Me To Hell]: Geoff Johns is one of the most dominant comic book writers in the industry, Raimi one of the most inventive Filmmakers in the industry today. Together they could craft a story for Shazam that would be the set up for the perfect comic book film for audiences of all ages. If any two professionals can craft a story fit for Shazam, these are the guys.



Screenplay: A screenplay or script is a written work by screenwriters for a film, video game or television program. These screenplays can be original works or adaptations from existing pieces of writing. In them, the movement, actions, expression, and dialogues of the characters are also narrated. A play for television is also known as a teleplay.

Sam Raimi & Ivan Raimi [Notable Works {As A Writing Team}: Darkman, Army of Darkness, Spider-Man 3]: The two brothers have a natural chemistry, and if they were given full control of a project there's no telling how epic the film could be. With fantastic works such as Darkman and Army of Darkness under their belt, doing Shazam would be a film well within their respective wheelhouses.



Director: Directors are responsible for overseeing creative aspects of a film under the overall control of the film producer. They often develop the vision for a film and carry out the vision, deciding how the film should look, in other words they make their vision come to life. They are responsible for turning the script into a sequence of shots. They also direct what tone it should have and what an audience should gain from the cinematic experience. Film directors are responsible for deciding camera angles, lens effects and lighting with the help of the cinematographer and set design with the production designer. They will often take part in hiring the cast and key crew members. They coordinate the actors' moves, or blocking and also may be involved in the writing, financing and editing of a film.

Sam Raimi [Notable Works {As A Director}: Spider-Man Trilogy, Evil Dead Trilogy, Darkman]: Sam is a fantastic director. He really grasps the feel of a visual comic. He is an avid Comic Book fan himself, and has even hinted at Shazam through his movies in the past. If anyone has a decent chance of getting the big red cheese onscreen Raimi's at the top of the list. No doubt he can get the spirit of the character and the comic.



Billy Batson [Height: 5' 4", Age: Early Teens]: Billy Batson is a teenager who becomes SHAZAM! the world's mightiest mortal. Granted access to incredible powers by the Wizard Jebediah he speaks the wizard's name and is struck by a lightning bolt that gives him the powers of the gods.

Preston Bailey [Height: 5' 6" {Estimated}, Age: 13, Notable Works: Dexter, The Crazies, Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer]: Preston is on the better end of Child Actors. He's a great actor and could really play a perfect Billy Batson, he looks like a good kid and can act pretty well.



Shazam [Height: 6' 2" {Estimated} Age: Teens {His Appearance is that of a man in his early 30's}]: When Billy speaks the magic word "SHAZAM!" He transforms into The World's Mightiest Marvel Shazam, protector of Earth. While still having Billy's Mind, he has a mature teenager attitude but still in many ways is a manchild as Shazam.

Channing Tatum [Height: 6' 1", Age: 33, Notable Works: 21 Jump Street, Jupiter Ascending, White House Down]: Channing is getting more popular, he's great at playing Manchild characters and he has the best motivation an actor could ask for, He could do it for his kid. A lot of people see him as poison, but not denying he gave a pretty decent performance in 21 Jump Street, showing that he has some talent when it comes to acting. Not to mention, it's a little hilarious that a group of women might feel awkward about falling head over heels {or ankles} for him, in a film where he's playing a 13 year old turned into a man. Personally I believe this would be the only Comic Book Movie where he is perfect for a lead role. I honestly believe he'd be a perfect Shazam.



Mary Batson [Height: 5' 6", Age: 18-20's]: Billy's Older Sister, Working as a waitress and doing duty over at Whiz Studios trying to support her little brother, having promised to take care of Billy after their parents died.

Jodelle Ferland [Height: 5' 2", Age: 19, Notable Works: Silent Hill, Case 39, The Tall Man]: Jodelle is one of my favorite up and coming actresses. I think she could really capture the take on Mary Batson I'd love to see. She's probably not as popular as many other actresses for the role, but no doubt she could really pull this role off without a hitch.



Clarence Charles Batson [Height: 6' 2", Age: 40's]: Father to Mary and Billy Batson, an Archaeologist who was rumored to Be murdered under mysterious conditions on an expedition along his wife Marilyn.

Patrick Warburton [Height: 6' 3", Age: 49, Notable Works: The Tick, Rules of Engagement, Rock Slyde]: Pat was for the longest time, the predominant choice for the big red cheese. You can tell why, he's got the looks, the voice, and plays the type of manchild well. But when he's nearing 50, he's not the number one choice anymore. He's a great actor, and definitely needs some sort of role in this, so I chose the most obvious role for him... C.C. Batson, Billy and Mary's Father. While some books say that C.C. Is what Shazam looks like, I'm not too keen on that Idea. No doubt Patrick would be a great C.C.



Marilyn Batson [Height: 5' 8", Age: 40's]: Mary and Billy's mother, wife to C.C. And a well renowned archaeologist, she died with her husband on an expedition.

Lucy Lawless [Height: 5' 10", Age: 45, Notable Works: Xena, Spartacus, Battlestar Galactica]: Lucy is a fantastic actress. She has a strong familiarity with Sam, and would, as always with her, be a welcome party member to the cast. She is a very beautiful woman and would absolutely perfect this role, despite how little screen time Marilyn would get.



Uncle Dudley Batson [Height: 5' 8" {Estimated}, Age: 50's]: {This incarnation is based more on the Roy Thomas/Tom Mandrake "Shazam! A New Beginning" Incarnation} C.C.'s eldest brother, the Super of a rundown apartment complex where Billy and Marilyn live, moonlighting as a janitor over at Fawcett Junior High, Allowing him to keep a keen eye on his Nephew.

Bruce Campbell [Height: 6' 1", Age: 55, Notable Works: Evil Dead Trilogy, Spider-Man Trilogy, Oz The Great And Powerful]: Another actor who, in another life, might've been perfect for the Big Red Cheese. Bruce is a fantastic actor, and B-Movie Icon. He's a Sam Raimi regular and perfect for the role of Uncle Dudley. He could give a more authentic and realistic take on Uncle Dudley.



Ebenezer Batson [Height: 5' 9", Age: 40's-50's]: C.C.'s older brother, a ruthless jerk who sued Dudley and Mary for custody of Billy after the death of C.C. And Marilyn, once he gained control he stole Billy's inheritance, it took Dudley and Mary's remaining inheritance to get Custody of Billy turned to them.

Ted Raimi [Height: 6' 2", Age: 47, Notable Works: Spider-Man Trilogy, Army of Darkness, Oz The Great and Powerful]: Ted is a regular in his Brother films and a decent actor in his own right. Out of all the roles Ebenezer seemed to fit Ted the best as both actor, and story. I have no doubts in Ted's ability to play this role wonderfully.



The Wizard Jebediah [Height: 6' 0", Age: Unknown]: Chosen as a child by the 6 Gods of Good, Jebediah was transformed into a Marvel, a mortal being empowered with Magic, he became the Champion Shazam! But when his age began to get the better of him he sought out a new Champion, and the tragedy of his Champion left a mark on him, until he found Billy, he empowered him with the Living Lighting as he was once given, hoping his new Champion would be what he hoped for.

Ernie Hudson [Height: 6' 0", Age: 67, Notable Works: Ghostbusters, The Crow, Dragonball Evolution]: Yep going with a more New 52 looking Wizard, historically it's more likely that he'd be black than white if he is a Canaanite. But honestly this is not about race, this is because Ernie Hudson is a wonderful actor, could play this role magically {pun intended} And he has a very wise and spiritual sense about himself. He did well in the Dragonball movie, where even though the movie was critically panned, he did pretty well for the small amount of time he was in it. He'd be a great Wizard.



Tawky Tawny [Height: 6' 3" {Estimated}, Age: Unknown]: The Wizard's Oldest Friend, A Tiger the Wizard embedded power with, using him more as a moral guide for choosing the next Marvel. Tawny has watched Billy from afar and his sure that Billy is the right person to save the world.

Bill Nunn [Height: 6' 4", Age: 60, Notable Works: Spider-Man Trilogy, Firehouse Dog, Runaway Jury]: Bill is a fantastic Actor, and a big guy. I really didn't have a whole lot of ideas for Tawny, and when Bill came along it just fit. I think this is a role that would definitely fit him pretty well and He could really double sophistication along with a sense of a cuddly side.



Freddie Freeman [Height: 5' 9", Age: Early Teens]: Billy's best friend, an Orphan like Billy Who has taken refuge in the Projects of Fawcett City, Living with a crooked Uncle, having fallen for Billy's sister, and often a distraction to keep Billy from remembering the poverty they both live in.

Jaden Smith [Height: 5' 7", Age: 15, Notable Works: Karate Kid, The Day The Earth Stood Still, The Pursuit of Happyness]: He's a good actor, and would fit the role nicely. Freddie in the comics was always a bit older than Billy, and I think when you change the race of a comic book character, if it makes no real difference to how anything would play out it works well. He's a good fit for it, an easy paycheck for him and It would be cool for him to play Freddie.



King Shazam [Height: 5' 11" {Estimated}, Age: Early Teens {Person Looks to be in their 20's]: When Billy Finally faced a being too powerful for him to contain himself, he gives his best friend and sister powers to help him battle the evils of the world, leading to a transformation that changes Freddie into King Shazam!

Michael B. Jordan [Height: 5' 11½", Age: 26, Notable Works: Fruitivale Station, Chronicle, Red Tails]: Despite the Rumors of him as Human Torch I thought this would be a fitting role. He shown the range for this type of role in Chronicle, and he would be welcome for his take on the character. Naturally I think he could really harness certain elements that Jaden would to allow a more fitting transition between the characters.



Sterling Morris [Height: 5' 10" {Estimated}, Age: 50's-60's]: Sterling Morris is a businessman and a supporting figure to SHAZAM. He is the owner of WHIZ Radio, living in Fawcett City. This makes him the boss of Billy Batson, who is secretly Shazam.

Bryan Cranston [Height: 5' 11", Age: 57, Notable Works: Breaking Bad, Total Recall, Malcolm in the Middle]: Bryan is usually type cast as villains, and while he can certainly do that, I wanted to throw him something different. It's a lighter role then Heisenberg, and it's something to allow him to put in more creative energy in a more positive light. Crantson is a fantastic actor and no doubt could really make a fantastic Sterling Morris.



Miss Wormwood [Height: 5' 8" {Estimated}, Age: 50's]: Billy's schoolteacher (and later principal), presented as the typical "mean teacher" stereotype.

Francis McDormand [Height: 5' 5", Age: 56, Notable Works: Fargo, Burn After Reading, Transformers Dark of the Moon]: An Academy Award Winning Actress, I have been a fan of her work ever since I saw her Oscar Winning Performance in Fargo. She's a wonderful actress and has done little roles in big movies before. She would do a fantastic job as Miss Wormwood.



Black Adam [Height: 6' 3", Age: Unknown {He appears to be in peak physical condition}]:Black Adam is a super-villain and sometimes anti-hero originally written as the evil counterpart to Shazam, an ancient Egyptian prince who was given incredible powers by the Wizard and survived into the modern era. His legacy would eventually expand to include the Black Marvel Family involving his wife Isis and her brother Osiris protecting their native land of Kahndaq.

Dwayne Johnson [Height: 6’5”, Age: 41, Country of Birth: United States of America Notable Works: Scorpion King, Rundown, G.I.Joe Retaliation]: I’ve always been a fan of the idea of Johnson as Adam, He’s a decent actor who I think can seriously add something to the role. He's also a fan, he was approached for both roles and while he could have just taken the role of the hero and probably have gotten it made, he let the fans choose which role is better for him. I hope the Shazam movie gets off the ground so he actually can play Black Adam.



Isis [Height: 6' 1", Age: Unknown]: Black Adam's Wife, Who Co-Ruled Ancient Kahndaq until her murder, which broke Black Adam and turned him into a Monster!

Maggie Q [Height: 5' 6", Age: 36, Notable Works: Mission: Impossible III, Live Free or Die Hard, Nikita {T.V. Series}]: Maggie is a beautiful and highly talented actress. I wasn't sure who I was gonna use for Isis, and I wanted to get someone who was a good match with Black Adam and Osiris.



Osiris [Height: 6' 1" {Estimated}]: Osiris works hard to act as a hero, but his association with the Black Marvels has caused the world to view him as an anti-hero and eventually a villain. He's the younger brother of Isis, another superhero. His abilities are the powers of the Gods of Egypt themselves, including S for the stamina of Shu, H for the swiftness of Heru, A for the strength of Amon, Z for the wisdom of Zehuti, A for the power of Aten, and M for the courage of Mehen. In this version he would be an agent of Black Adam's, an actual villain for the film, posing as Theo Adam, looking for a way to bring Black Adam back to Earth.

Jason Momoa [Height: 6' 4", Age: 34, Notable Works: Conan The Barbarian, Games of Thrones, Stargate: Atlantis]: I like Jason, he's an alright actor and has a ways to go before he can be as good as he can be. I think this is a role where Momoa could have some real fun and show how good an actor he really is. It's a small step too what he's really capable of. No doubt he'd do this role pretty well and make the character a much more well known figure.



Professor Anthony Ivo [Height: 6' 0" {Estimated}, Age: 40's]: Professor Ivo is a mad scientist and an enemy to the Justice League. His obsession with prolonging life lead to a career in cybernetics, and he achieved immortality through a special serum. The most famous robots he created include Amazo and Tomorrow Woman. With Ivo I wanted to get a villain who was not magic, or an alien, A mad scientist that does something a bit different. And I think that a movie using Ivo and Amazo as the Villains would be a good thing for Shazam.

Nathan Fillion [Height: 6' 2", Age: 42, Notable Works: Castle, Firefly, Serenity]: Fillion is a great actor, he's got a sense of cockyness to him that really has become a trademark. He's someone who I think could own this role and really make it his own. Ivo isn't well known, or very well defined as a character and with Fillion I think he can define the character and make him a pop culture, James Bond type of Super Villain.



Amazo [Height: 8' 5", Age: Unknown]: Credited as being the world's first official android, Amazo was created by the immortal, evil mastermind Professor Ivo. Utilizing superior "absorption cell" technology, Amazo can replicate the super powers of any metahuman he encounters. And so, Amazo became one of the most dangerous menaces to originally oppose the Justice League of America. While initially programmed to serve the agenda of his creator: to find any means to prolong Ivo's immortality, Amazo had outgrown his original agenda.

Roland Kickinger [Height: 6' 4", Age: 45, Notable Works: Terminator Salvation, Lethal Weapon 4, See Arnold Run]: His stunt work in Terminator Salvation was good enough for me to take note. He's perfect for this role, while it can either be him in a costume or mocap either way he would work well for the role, he's got height and he's got a braud build to him, just have him look like the Amazo from Bruce Timm's Justice League cartoon and he'd be perfect as Amazo.



Dr. Thaddeus Sivana [Height: 5' 6" {Estimated}, Age: 60's]: Doctor Thaddeus Bodog Sivana, Sr. is SHAZAM's arch nemesis. A brilliant evil mastermind, he is arguably the archetype for the "mad scientist". Sivana was the first to figure out Shazam's identity, and has been a constant pest to the Big Red Cheese (as he prefers to call the Captain). He has been associated with the Monster Society of Evil and the Secret Society. He also had a son, Thaddeus Sivana, Jr., and a daughter, Georgia Sivana, who both resemble him.

Robert Englund [Height: 5' 9", Age: 66, Notable Works: A Nightmare On Elm Street {Franchise}, ]: For Robert, he's been kinda cheated out of several Comic Book roles, he's a great actor, and he's got an unsettling type of movement about him. Sivana is a role he fits perfectly. He's probably one of those actors who's enjoyed his typecasting, and it's done him well, kept him fed and sheltered. Freddy Kreuger as a mad scientist is probably one of those "So Perfect it can't go wrong" type of choices!



Magnificus Sivana [Height: 6' 0" {Estimated}, Age: 30's]: In this version, he with his Sister Beautia locked out their Father out of the Company, part of the reason for turning him into a mad scientist.

James Franco [Height: 5' 11", Age: 35, Notable Works: Spider-Man Trilogy, Spring Breakers, Oz The Great And Powerful]: James is actually a decent actor, and this is the type of role that would be perfect for him. I think he'd definitely do this role, especially since he'd work with Sam again. No doubt he could play Sivana's least favorite son.



Beautia Sivana [Height: 5 '8" {Estimated}, Age: 30's]: Beautia Sivana is the daughter of mad scientist Doctor Sivana and his wife Venus Sivana. This makes her an enemy to Shazam and the Marvel Family. Her brothers are Magnificus Sivana and Thaddeus Sivana, Jr., and her sister is Georgia Sivana. Unlike her genius siblings Georgia and Thaddeus, she is incredibly attractive and takes after her mother. Despite her allegiance to her father, she eventually makes friends with the Marvels and keeps their secret identities.

Rachel Nichols [Height: 5' 10", Age: 30, Notable Works: G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra, P2, Conan The Barbarian]: No doubt Rachel would put the "Beauty" in Beautia. She's a constantly rising actress who would definitely own the role. It would give her a chance to really expand what she's known for, and it would be nice to see her add a bit of a comedic role to her resume.



Thaddeus Sivana Jr. [Height: 5' 8" {Estimated}, Age: 30's]: Son of Criminal Mastermind Thaddeus Sivana. In this continuity, he along his sister Georgia, vowed to burn the world and their siblings for locking their father out of their company, spear heading mad research into various areas of study and becoming mad scientist.

Topher Grace [Height: 5' 11", Age: 35, Notable Works: Spider-Man 3, Predators, The Big Wedding]: Topher is perfect for this role, I know that people still hate his Venom. Personally I love his take on the role, he had an eerie creepyness. His character in Predators was perfect. He'd definitely play the role with a different take on the younger Thaddeus, with a sense of Mad Scientist vibe.



Georgia Sivana [Height: 5' 8" {Estimated}, Age: 30's]: Born the daughter of criminal mastermind Thaddeus Bodog Sivana, Georgia has followed in her father's footsteps with a sharp interest in science. Together with her twin brother, Thaddeus, Jr. she has attempted to use her father's achievements for her own gratification. She once attempted to use the time-traveling Suspendium Globe to go back to the second grade so she could get braces in order to be pretty like her sister, Beautia.

Claire Danes [Height: 5' 5", Age: 34, Notable Works: Romeo + Juliet, Stardust, Homeland]: She's critically loved in her work on Homeland, and she's always shown a good amount of talent. It'd be nice to get her in a Comic Book Role, something that kinda of pertains to her inside as a person. She is a sensitive person about her looks, and so is Georgia. I think this would be a perfect role for her.



Mr. Mind [Height: Various, Age: Unkown]: Mister Mind is an evil telepathic space-worm from the planet Venus who is an enemy of Captain Marvel in Fawcett City. His incredible mental powers allow him to mind control his victims, taking advantage of and replacing anyone he needs to impersonate. Despite his diminutive appearance, he is an extremely formidable opponent and has gone through several monstrous transformations over the years. He is the leader of the Monster Society of Evil, an appropriately named organization that fights the Marvel Family.

Kelsey Grammer [Height: 6' 1", Age: 58, Notable Works: Frasier, Boss, Toy Story 2]: Kelsey has a very intelligent and sophisticated person. He has a voice that reads it. I think he could play something better then the old Fawcett Mr. Mind. I think he could really play the Mister Mind you could see as a inhuman monster in a psychological sense. Mr. Mind represents something different out of Shazam's villains and Kelsey is the right type of actor to give a voice to it. He's played villains before, and he could without a doubt play this role with a very venomous sense to him creating an Iconic Mr. Mind.

WOW. You got your Shazam fancast out before mine and Ager's! And this cast and crew is a pretty good assortment. The reasoning is just as good, I never would think Tatum would be a good candidate for the title role, but you're making me think otherwise. Here's hoping lightning strikes twice with your next fancast!

When you have a moment, check out my latest fancast: "The Maze Agency"--the movie. http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fan_fic/news/?a=91171

I want to get this off first: Is Shazam somewhat meant to be a LITTLE comedic? Because from what I've read here, based on the cast and crew, there's quite a bit of humor.

Anyways:

- Nice crew that you put together. Sam Raimi could excel in the DC movie universe.
- I'm a staunch supporter of Joe Manganiello. I've always seen Shazam as an alternate version of Superman, and Joe was once considered to play Supes. Refer to my question above regarding Channing.
- Is C.C. Batson a comedic character? I don't see Warburton playing it serious.
- I don't mind some of the actors playing characters that were different races in the comics.
- Hats off using Frances McDormand! From my homestate!
- I wouldn't mind The Rock playing Black Adam. Especially since he was cast originally.

The rest of the cast is fantastic. Another **** cast from your sexy ass!

Nice casting. It's a nice direction to take the series in. I see you have followed the new 52 as far as your character templates are concerned. Trying something different with the characters as far as the race changes go is not the worst thing to do and does make sense in a commercial movie so I'm good with that change.

Tatum as SHAZAM is really interesting and for one would love to see that.it's an excellent choice and makes this cast a winner straight away.

I also loled at the fact that the are so many images that you had that are quite the same as the ones I used in my fancast around a year ago.
Which brings me to... I don't think you checked that out before. Mine though is based on older works on the characterand since it is a year old some of the choices may have outgrown the role.

Dude excellent casting. I'd definitely watch this. Raimi could put an element of fun into it. Plus, Sideshow Bob as Mr. Mind? Yes' please!

Pretty solid cast, but like someone else mentioned up top seems almost like you've got an almost comedy kinda tone in mind- I personally think Shazam should be light mostly, but allow for darker moments.

Regardless, Tatum is very interesting choice for the role; I don't love it but I don't hate it, but I really can't help but think he'd be better suited for a slightly more 'comical beef-head' take on the character. Despite that though, my favourite has to be Hudson as the Wizard; he's a solid choice, though personally I'd opt to go with Delroy Lindo.

Either way, nice cast!

Absolutely amazing cast. Tatum is great for the role.

I had thought of Raimi as the director for Shazam before. Cheers mate!

I really like this cast!
I understand many don't like Tatum, but I think he fits well. With this character, I feel like we need someone who can be child-like but also be able to pull off some dramatic tones. Plus, he can handle the action really well. He could also draw in a crowd, which is greatly needed. So I don't have any complaints about this casting decision. In fact, I think it is smart.
The secondary leads and supporting cast are all fantastic too. You used actors who vary from known and unknown, which I love. Your choice for Mary is just great. We don't see enough of Jodelle, honestly.

Great work.

Hell no to Channing Tatum and Jayden Smith. Apart from that the rest of the cast is great.
