So, here's the latest Superhero movie rumor out there: Superherohype.com is spreading the news that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is in talks to play Captain Marvel in an upcoming Shazam! movie.
Are there any movie executives that are really dumb enough to think this would be a good fit? What am I saying? Of course there are! But still, can you really see Billy Batson giving anyone "The People's Eyebrow?" Captain Marvel (or as Guy Gardner called him, Captain Whitebread) is a bright-eyed bushy-tailed happy-go-lucky boy scout!
What I could see — and now I am hoping to see it and am hoping Superherohype got this story a bit wrong — is that the Rock would play BLACK ADAM. Think about it, the body type, the attitude. It would be perfect.
I wonder what my buddy Phil Strum would have to say about this on the Journal's pro wrestling blog, "Under the Ring"?
