Shazam! (2019)

Nice. Very nice if it happens.

Its confirmed! Excellent casting.

Mark was great as Sinestro.

DC should've taken a play from Fox's playbook and let Mark return as Sinestro in the future, but erase everything else from the Ryan Reynold's Green Lantern movie... similarly to how Origins Wolverine was erased but Deadpool was allowed to live on.

He looks about 12, but looking up his age I've found 15! So he'll too old to play Billy in like a couple of years. Don't see how that's gonna work.

They should have picked an 8 year old IMO, so he could play the role without any issues for the next 7 years.

An 8 year old? Nah.

You do realise that with every movie they're going to be at least 2 years older right?

The 15 year old will be 20 by the time they get around to Shazam vs Black Adam.

And they'll make it work.
No one will really mind.

^ Lame

Oh well. 🙂

you do realize that comics are dumb af when it comes to age and that people in real life actually get older with passing time, right?

Captain Marvel is eternally young, Billy is not.

Yes. But I'd want him to be young for at least a trilogy. A 20 year old Billy after just a couple of movies? Nah, would prefer they start off younger.

so the "issues" you were talking about is just your personal preference?

okay.

No it was To at least be like the comics for 3 films.

Especially when they’re going for that “fun” tone making out like the film Big. Will come across as pretty stupid pretty quickly when they’re starting out with a 15 year old actor who will be 17 by the time this movie comes out.

It doesn't have to be like the comics to be good though, they can go in any direction they want.

^^^true dat.

Of course, if they go New52 with the characterization, i'll lose my mind 😉
