Re: Justice League-Parts 1 & 2 (2017 and 2019)
Eh, agree to dissagree.
Kinda smart? Kinda smart!?!! Do you want me to get out my Spider-Man intelligence Feats Scan File?!11!!
I guess. I'm not against Cena playing Shazam.
...Yes...
But Namor has weird eyebrows, squinty, blue eyes and slicked back hair. Tatum as Namor, now THAT would've been the worst casting ever... Namor is royalty and arrogance personified. Tatum could never play that part.
Oh come on, you've got to admit he looks more like Shazam than Namor. Let's say both are the worst casting ever, tied, but you can't seriously tell me he'd be just as bad at playing both Shazam and Namor. Namor he'd absolutely destroy. Shazam, there's a slight chance he could do it, that's all I'm saying.
Well, yeah.
Depends on your POV, I always saw them as very different characters. But yeah, I guess you could say that.
I just don't see it, sorry.
Tyrese as...John Stewart? Now THAT's a disaster of epic proportions...

CENA!
Same body time, same block ass jaw, same squinty eyes, just grown his hair a little longer and slick it back.
Cena is to Shazam what the Rock is to Black Adam.

Re: Justice League-Parts 1 & 2 (2017 and 2019)
Well Momoa doesn't scream comic book Aquaman to me, he would've been an awesome Lobo.
And Ezra Miller seems horribly miscast as the Flash.
I wouldn't be surprised if they cast Tatum as Shazam as that's probably better casting than the other two I mentioned
IF he is in the DC Universe, and that's a very big IF at this point, I hope to god he's not **** Grayson/Nightwing. And I'd be glad cause that would free up the Gambit role for a more suitable actor which they could stick in a team up film rather than a solo.

Man, Tatum for Namor, I'm campaigning for that ****
*opens change.org*
And blue eyes and eyebrows? Make up! No excuses!
You can't realistically tell me he looks more like Shazam than he looks Namor.
And why do you think he could pull off playing Shazam and not Namor? What makes you think acting like a child is easy? Yeah he can play a retard really good, but Billy isn't a retard.
I could just as easily say acting arrogant is easier than acting like a child.
They are very different characters but they're the exact same archetype, so much DC tried to sue Fawcett back in the day for that reason before they bought them.
Eh, u wrong my *****.
Oh so you see how a Shazam miscast looks like now huh?

**** NO! He looks 10x more like Namor, than he does like Shazam. (which is still nothing alike at all)

Hell no man, Momoa as Peter David Aquaman was great casting!I wouldn't be surprised if they cast Tatum as Shazam as that's probably better casting than the other two I mentioned
If that means he's not playing Shazam, I hope he gets any of those roles.

But he's the perfect choice for Shazam.
Don't care about him, I don't like Wrestling stuff.

Re: Justice League-Parts 1 & 2 (2017 and 2019)
I think Channing is as good, if not better, than the Rock. Neither are outstanding actors.
He's far superior to John Cena and Tyrese though.
Speaking of Tyrese... is he still trying to be Jon Stewart? Hopefully BvS under-performing makes him want to campaign to be in Marvel instead

Re: Justice League-Parts 1 & 2 (2017 and 2019)
I'm in my phone so I can't quote all of them individually, so I'll just say this: Tatum is an average actor, who, in my opinion, could play Shazam and not butcher him. I'm not saying he'd be great, or even good, just not awful. Not Shaq-Steel levels of bad. That's all, I don't want him for Shazam or even consider him for the role, I just wouldn't get angry over it if it became true.
Now, if he were to play Namor, then yeah, I'd unleash the full extent of my nerd rage (or, in other words, type angry words in an Internet forum while Tatum is rolling in the dough), so yeah, I get where you're coming from.
We can all agree that he'd make a terrible Deathstroke though, right? Cause the previous Vol deaged him and turned him into a pretty-boy, so I was worried that DC might go all "reimagining" on us for his film debut. Go old or go home is how I feel about Slade.
On Shazam/Superman, yeah, they are practically the same, but as far as character goes, they're pretty different in my eyes. Same core, different wrapping.

Re: Justice League-Parts 1 & 2 (2017 and 2019)
I have never been high on Channing Tatum as Gambit, but I actually think he might be a solid choice for Shazam. Channing has a kind of 1950s "aw shucks" look to him that could work for the Big Red Cheese especially up against the Rock as Black Adam. He'd probably need to bulk up by about 15-20 lbs. And even though I've never thought of him as having much acting range, I think he could pull of the 10-year-old in a grown up's body. In part it will depend on the tone they go for. I don't think you just pick another Superman type like John Hamm for Shazam. Given X-Men Apocalypse's lukewarm performance, I wouldn't be surprised to see Tatum trying to jump ship. I think the prospect of a Gambit standalone movie has dimmed quite a bit. I wouldn't be surprised to see Fox push it back again or take it off the schedule all together.
I don't know what it is about wrestlers, but every time a superhero movie comes around people start saying a wrestler should be cast. Those guys are not actors. The Rock has been the exception. But I still remember folks suggesting Triple H for Thor. Trying to cast for straight physicality is how you get movies like "Steel".
Every time I think of Tyrese as John Stewart it makes me want to throw up. He would be completely wrong IMO. It reminds me of all of the actors that were campaigning to play Black Panther. It didn't matter if they were completely against type. Fortunately Marvel looks like they got it perfect. I've heard Denzel Washington's name mentioned for Stewart. Denzel is a phenomenal actor, but he'll be 60 by then. There are plenty of talented 25-35-year-old black actors who can step in as Green Lantern John Stewart (who will likely be playing second to Hal anyway). Speaking of Green Lantern, the only other DC role that came to mind for Channing Tatum was Guy Gardner. Although Gardner is probably my least favorite GL.

I'm actually shocked how little interest there's for Shazam that people are ok with Tatum.
Same archetype.
Well thank you!

That's what I'm saying, different characters, very different.

Cena is a poor man's Hulk Hogan, and Tatum can act circles around JC
You only like Cena because he looks similar to the cartoon.

Like I said, I don't care about wrestling so I don't know how Cena stands with the fanbase, apparently they hate him.
But Tatum can't act circles around anybody.
Not the cartoon, most Shazam iterations, so at least he has that going for him, unlike Tatum, who has nothing, and the very idea of him as Shazam is just rearded and if you support it, man you must really hate Shazam.

I want an unknown actor, not a crappy wrestler who can't act, and I'm not talking about Rock. I don't think Tatum is big enough to play Shazam, but neither was the Thor guy before Avengers, so who knows? But look at Evans as Cap, he's not a great actor, and he doesn't really look like Cap, but he's doing a good job in the role. I've never seen Cena show any potential as an actor. Tatum has shown some potential in both comedy and drama.

An unknown actor would be a good way to go about it, but they rarely do that these days.
Hemsworth was huge in Thor, and Captain is an athletic guy, nowhere near Shazam/Thor, and those are cases of, oh well, we're stuck with them, at least they're going a good job, but to aim for that? And with Tatum no less?
Cena can act just as much as Tatum, and he is MUCH better than Tatum when it comes to comedy, hell he can improvise, even with as little as he's done. Tatum is le funny duder with his potbros in comedies... **** that.
