Make it happen!

But I have a feeling he's gonna be playing Lobo if the news for that film is still true.....

Gusto pays this Filipino kid to rub him down with Cocoa Butter, so I'm sure he's not that bad....

Dwayne Johnson is a cool guy WB is too slow to cast him as Black Adam.

The Proper Medical term is "Micro-Penis".

The Scientific term is "teeny wee wee". (Per Nuck, confirmed by Tea)

And I am very sympathetic to your situation.

DC [frick]ing sucks, just give us a [frick]ing Captain Marvel/Shazam movie

Captain Marvel doesn't exist anymore. Thanks, DC!

Yeah he would make a good Black Adam but who would we get to play Shazam!

Arnold Vosloo voiced Adam quite nicely, maybe somebody needs to double Rock´s voice in a more egyptian accent (Vosloo is egyptian, that´s why)

Please make this happen. But dont get some out of shape schmuck for Captain Marvel, aim for equal size please.
SageMode

Well from the looks of what WB has been doing, they're gonna continue doing Superman, Batman, and VERTIGO properties.

But I sure hope a SHAZAM movie happens.
HelaGood
HelaGood - 5/3/2012, 1:45 PM
WB cant release more than one CBM a year without [frick]ing one of them up... they need to do something more than just Batman AND do it right!

WB, quit cutting corners and putting crap out there. Use more people like Nolan, dammit!!

@Nutanyahoo- Or, the Rock is just up to date on the name change and DC's desire to distance the character from the old name.

Wouldn't want to piss anyone off by saying Marvel when you want to play a DC character.

Great interview G. Love this guy, he would kill as Black Adam.
davidbatmanfan
davidbatmanfan - 5/3/2012, 2:30 PM
No lets just hope WB/DC are reading all this as much as Marvel watches any of there related articles.Hey they cant pass on The Rock not to play Black Adam Either.

the rocks such a nice man wow
superbatspiderman
superbatspiderman - 5/3/2012, 2:47 PM
Man, the rock is such a nice guy and I think he has really become a pretty good actor. I would love to see him as Black Adam and Daniel Cudmore as Shazam.

Yes Electrowoman and Dynagirl all the way. The all time best dynamic Duo. Just the outfits were ummmm too much like sweats and not enough like tights if you know what I mean :)

@SUPERBATSPIDERMAN

Shazam is the wizard not the superhero u mean Captain Marvel
Knightrider
Knightrider - 5/3/2012, 3:31 PM
@jazzman Na DC has dropped the name Captain Marvel and he will now be known as Shazam. I has actually heard mumbles that the drop wasn't as simple as avoiding the word Marvel in a DC comic, but it had lost the name in a legal case. Might be rumour or complete rubbish, but anyone else hear that?
SugarYumYum
SugarYumYum - 5/3/2012, 4:09 PM
You've got The Rock interested in being a main villain for one of your properties. THE ROCK. THE GREAT ONE. He wants it. The fans want it...

...and... you're just letting the idea SIT THERE?! Wake the [frick] up WB! My God. -__-
Vital
Vital - 5/3/2012, 4:31 PM
The Rock is awesome. That is all.
superbatspiderman
superbatspiderman - 5/3/2012, 6:21 PM
@jazzman - oops my mistake yes that is what I ment. Christopher Lee would play as Shazam in my scenario.
misterwizz
misterwizz - 5/3/2012, 6:40 PM

Question about Shazam is pointless, by the time that movie comes out The Rock will be way too old to play Black Adam.

@MarkJulian PERFECT!!!!
HarrisonBergeron
HarrisonBergeron - 5/3/2012, 10:25 PM
Isn't Black Adam hundreds(thousands?) of years old? It's going to be a long time before The Rock is too old to play him.
hartley07
hartley07 - 5/3/2012, 11:57 PM
ugh. shazam. superman junior.
Connerkentver1
Connerkentver1 - 5/4/2012, 12:55 AM
He is perfect for Teth Adam/ Black Adam (preferred). The problem here is nobody in the acting game right now can play Shazam/Captain Marvel/ Barry Batson. They'll pick some asshole like Shia LaBeauf for Batson and god only imagines for Cap.
