Why are most casting suggestions for Captain Marvel these wooden muscleheads instead of actors who could actually play Captain Marvel and just need to hit the gym to get in shape?

I don't think it takes much acting talent to play Shazam. Just act like a literal man child

RUMOR: THE FLASH Solo Movie FLASHPOINT To Include Gal Gadot As WONDER WOMAN

Forbes has a great write-up today detailing Wonder Woman's historic run in the box-office. It is well worth the read, but it's the blurb at the end that is sure to catch readers attention.

While outlining the future of The Amazon Princess, the outlet is reporting that not only will we see star Gal Gadot pick up the Lasso Of Truth in her sequel planned for 2019, but also in The Flash film as well that is now being titled Flashpoint. The info is as stated, "Gadot is also expected to reprise her role as Wonder Woman in the upcoming production of Flashpoint, which will be Flash's solo movie but is also more of another superhero team-up featuring several additional DC superheroes. Flashpoint is currently scheduled to release in 2020. So we'll see Wonder Woman twice this year, again in 2019, and in 2020. That's an average of one appearance every year, and it means Wonder Woman could potentially appear in as many different films as Batman will over the course of the next few years in the DCEU."

The words "man child" put me in mind of the opposite of Captain Marvel, Captain Broflake.

The way I see it, somebody like (a younger) Tom Hanks is what should be aimed for.

That means we might actually get a glimpse of the "Flashpoint" Universe.

I really hope they don't go full Flashpoint. While Barry is still the main lead, Flashpoint (both the comics and animated adaptation) always felt a like Justice League movie with Flash leading and lots of Batman. I want a Flash movie with just him and his supporting characters.

I think you need more then that, because the actor is going to have to accurately portray Billy's personality in an adult form and his persona as Captain Marvel/Shazam.

If there's one thing they shouldn't do is portray him as a man-child.

This is probably my biggest issue, though they might make Iris more of an integral part of this version then she was in the original and we're most likely going to see Thawne show up.

Ding ding ding ding! We have a winner.

John Cena has been doing it for years and it's embarrassing!

They may show Diana in her villainous persona in Flashpoint, but my guess is that it'll be toned down. Right now, unless JL changes things, Diana CAN'T lead her Amazon sisters in an invasion of Man's World and turn the UK into a male concentration camp. They may portray a battle between her and Aquaman, but it'll probably toned down as well. I very much doubt they'll show her murdering a child in cold blood either.

Unless Flashpoint's effects go back a century or more, whatever changes to Diana's timeline will take place after she's already been here in Man's World for some time. My guess is something will change that just pushes Diana down a villainous path and she just becomes another run-of-the-mill villain of some sort. Maybe she teams up with some other villains. Who knows? Either way, it won't be quite as severe as comic Flashpoint. Let's never forget that the comics can ALWAYS go bigger than the movies because comics don't have a special effects budget. So this will definitely be toned down.

Heck, maybe they'll REALLY flip the script and NOT have Diana as a villain at all. Maybe she'll remain a hero and fight beside Barry. That'd be cool.

Meanwhile? Awesome to hear that Diana is going to break $400 million Domestic!

The new trailer hints she's in a scene where Barry is stretching the glass barrier or whatever it is. I wonder if Iris will appear in a scene with Lois or reference Lois at all. Has that ever happened in the comics? You'd think it would be natural to make Lois one of Iris's role models.

I can't for the life of me recall a single moment where Iris and Lois were in the same scene/panel together.

Or Vicki Vale for that matter .

First Post-COIE (and rare in any case) encounter between Lois Lane and Iris West.

I would put money on them not even reading the Flashpoint comic if Geoff Johns wasn't involved.

IMO, Captain Marvel needs a certain whimsy to him. Somebody like John Cena? No thanks.

We could get Triple H to play King Kull and Linda McMahon to play Aunt Minerva.

[Ascended]

All I know is I want John C Reiley to play Uncle Marvel!
