Hello members of Comics amino, I've been on here for a little over a year and now I'm finally going to make a post that kinda contributes to the community... Well not really but that's besides the point, its my first proper post on here (even tho I've had several abandoned blogs I haven't made :neutral_face: ) so I thought why not do something on my favorite comic book character, other than Hawkeye because fuck off, SHAZAM... If you couldn't tell I'm going a fan cast for a SHAZAM film so let's jump in.

Noah Schnapp as Billy Batson

To me this was an easy choice, Noah is of course most well known for his portrayal of William Byers in the hit Netflex show 'Stranger Things' but this time he'll take center stage as Billy Batson the boy behind Shazam. So why did I pick Noah? Well in my opinion he's one of the best child actors around at the moment and has the acting range to play Batson, Billy is an emotional character, he wears his emotions on his sleeve and Noah would be able to achieve all the different emotions that the character experiences with ease. I also believe that he could work well with several of the cast members allowing for pure moments of gold in acting, the cast that I've chosen are all extremely good and I believe Noah would bring out his best to match them and since this would be his first time as a main character in a movie production it would allow him to show off his talents.

Tom Hardy as SHAZAM / Capitan Marvel

Tom Hardy has two things going for him that made me chose him for the role of SHAZAM, his build of course Hardy is an extremely well built actor and you need someone who is a beast to play SHAZAM and Tom is... Well... Just look up Tom Hardy on google images and you'll see what I mean he is a beast of a man. The other thing that made me pick Hardy is that he is extremely good at showing his emotions with his face, he could tell a story just with his facial expressions and even tho SHAZAM is a talkative character those moments when during fights where he grows as a character is where Hardy comes in to play... We'll say when he realizes that he's bitten off more than he can chew with Black Adam you don't need dialogue explaining how he knows this, Tom's expression would tell the story and with the hood of SHAZAM Tom would be in his element with having his face covered.

David Tennant as Dr. Sivana

Ah David I have a love hate relationship with this man, I think he's a great actor but I think he's one of the worse doctors... Shit I talked bad about the tenth doctor I've gotta hide (in all seriousness tho, I see one comment about my opinion on the tenth doctor that shit is getting deleted because that's not what this is about) Tennant really works well as a super villain you just have to look at his role as Kilgrave is Jessica Jones to understand that no one does a smart villain quite like David does. He'd be able to play the good doctor easily, it may not be the best role in the movie but he'd be talked about, he'd bring a presents to Sivana that would never of been done before in a TV or Film adaptation he could make him seem like a threat and Sivana goes to find Black Adam because its the only way to save his family where science has failed he's looking towards magic for help... David could add this emotion to Sivana that can him seem...human allow the audience to sympathize with him.

Dwayne "the rock" Johnson as Black Adam

Do I really need to say anything? like I know this might seem like a cop out of my writing anything for him but I'm really not, I think its like overall decision that the Rock would be a great Black Adam... Like I'm sorry I don't think I have to justify myself here :joy: he's a great actor, works well as a tough villain and has the support of the fans... Like I've made some questionable choices but the Rock is a fan popular choice. The rock himself would make people go and see the film just because he's in it, he'd be the person who'd probably advertise the film during interviews and the selfies come on.

Morgan Freeman as The Wizard

Wise

Old

Man

I don't think I need to say more really, when you have a character like this you call up the Freeman, Morgan is a legend in his own right and is fine with playing an all powerful being I mean he played god for fucks sake! When you have a wise old black man Morgan is the one to call it's a shame that he's been typed cast for this role over the past few years but there was really no one else who could play the Wizard to the level that Morgan could. The Wizard carries an aura of respect around him, he's old but he's still strong, he's firm but at the same time wise for an all powerful being why not get god himself? Morgan could carry the previously mentioned aura on his shoulders plus a small Tigger and plus you have Morgan act as almost a second director if you wished, help the younger cast and point things out that he would think needs changing for the better... But still have the director make the calls in the end.

So everyone here either falls under one of two reasons why I picked them: how they look in comparison to the character they would be playing or how well their acting ability is for the character. Since they were all the same I'd figure just to put the reasoning here so you don't have to read it all, over and over again.

Emma Watson as The Lady in The Mirror

Finn Wolfhard as Eugene

The Plot

The plot of the film wouldn't be anything fancy at all, it would be a retelling of Shazam's origin story with slight changes to suit the DCEU and you can even have a cameo if you so wish. The plot wouldn't be anything ground breaking but it's always a safe bet to just tell the origin story. If you don't know the story please watch this video and you'll not only see some of the quotes I've taken but the story.

The Music

The music in the film should be a mix between original works (comprised by Hans Zimmer) and existing works made by artists some of the songs that would've already been made would include

Epica - Illusive Consensus

Hollywood Undead - California Dreaming (instrumental)

The original Shazam / captain marvel theme

Coldplay - Hymn for the weekend
