SHAZAM Audition Video Suggests That ARROW Actor Parker Young May Be In The Running For The Lead Role

The guys over at Omega Underground have unearthed a video which shows Arrow actor Parker Young auditioning for the title role in the upcoming Shazam movie.

The scene Young is performing would seem to take place just after Billy Batson transforms into his super-powered alter-ego and is getting to grips with his grown-up appearance. This definitely gives us a sense of the more humorous aspects of the script, and there's also a Batman name-drop in there which confirms a DCEU connection... just in case you were still uncertain.

A recent report suggested that both John Cena and Joshua sasse had emerged as frontrunners for the role, but this vid may suggest that the studio and director David F. Sandberg are still searching for their leading man.

Shazam is now in the mid stages of pre-production, so hopefully we'll get an official casting announcement soon.

@naterator - You think? At 5'11"....i doubt it. If he is the front-runner, I hope he can pull it off. Never saw anything I didn't like from him on Arrow, but he didn't really jump off the screen. Hope he can swing the charisma...

@Talontd - its a Fresh face for the most part. Height can be manipulated... Just need an actor with the right acting chops. We also don't know the tone they are going for with this film.

@McGee - as fate would have it, "Rule #34 my ass" is a far more productive search.

Young looks the part and is already in Superhero shape. I'm not going to lie though, I kind of like the idea of Cena as Shazam for some reason, cannot really explain it.
