Dwayne Johnson Sort Of Admits He's Playing Shazam

 

Dwayne Johnson is such a tease. The guy's been talking up his involvement with DC for years, constantly implying that he would be playing a major DC Comics character in a movie. He's been through the philosophies of the modern movie star, which is all about keeping all doors open, which has led to heavy duty speculation as to whom he would play. He's also got a loose tongue, so it was only a matter of time before someone pressed him on the subject.

 

Doing press for the upcoming Hercules, Johnson was pursued by Total Film and forced to answer exactly whom he was playing. His response was coy, but revealing. The real meat of the conversation is near the end, where the veil of secrecy begins to drop.

 

"It's the power of Superman... and it's not Green Lantern' date=' by the way... he can throw down... just say the word, that's all I'm gonna say." [/b']

I'm fine with this. I'd totally watch a Captain Marvel movie with the Rock. Don't know how he's gonna look in the big red costume though. If anything I'm happy he won't be playing Lobo. Gimmie Jason Momoa as the Main Man or go f*ck your mother.

 

What do you guys think?

Hes not said hero though, so it could easily be Black Adam too. Not a skin colour comment, Black Adam wasn't black. Noooo. He was middle eastern...
I'm down. I'd rather he was Black Adam though, even though Captain Marvel would work too, seeing as I imagine The Rock is what a little kid would want to look like.

That would be cool, he'd be a great Negro Adam. I'd kinda like to see him in the hero role. If I could choose a part for him, I'd make him the Martian Manhunter in the JLA movie. It would take him out of his depth as he's have to use some pretty serious acting chops I think.
I think he's too silly for Martian Manhunter. Fantasy casting; Martian Manhunter should be Werner Hertzog.

OH YEAH! How silly of me to forget.

Racist....you'd just as soon he be called NiggerMan and wear a gorilla costume I'd bet. You disgust me.
Paul's fantasy casting would be The Rock as Gorilla Grodd, wwwwwwwwwhat a racist.

RIGHT! Im banning you all... oh, yeah... Im reporting you all for picking on me. :'(

 

However, Id like to see The Rock as Black Adam, I think he carries himself better as a villain.

Wait, I thought you wanted him to be Gorilla Grodd? :lol

 

Seriously though, that's great casting and I'm in full support of it.

There's talk that it won't be in a Shazam movie (which is mainly based on there being no film currently in any state of production), but could be a physical rival to Superman.

 

Of course, this could be the first step in a Shazam movie and DC has a lot of "to-be-announced" slots to fill.

Superman has a deep enough rouge's gallery; he doesn't need Black Adam. That would just be silly without Shazam/Captain Marvel.
It looks like you can scratch the no-Shazam-movie talk as Darren Lemke has been brought on to write it.

Good. Well good with the exception that Darren Lemke isn't very good.
His films have been OK, but nothing to crow about.
