I should play shazam

@JoshWilding James Wan talked with Collider in an interview posted today, and he was quite tight-lipped on if he's been in negotiations to helm a DC movie.

It was reported last October by Deadline via. New Line CCO Emmerich that he would be potentially helming a DC film for New Line & WB, so most definitely Shazam! if it pans out.

Four years away.
Man, by then maybe I (and a few others) will care about this movie a little.

"And starting off properly is [Black Adam] not being a hero. That’s got to be earned, so he starts off as a slave. And he’s pissed off, and people are going to pay. But eventually down the line he’ll become an anti-hero."

SOoo no seventh JL member? Good...

Shazam could be Latino or Asian.

ugh here we go with the race card

Steve Austin as SHAZAM

Shazam should be Ethiopian

On another note Black Adam isn't a slave. So Dwayne needs to stop saying that.

Here's info on Shazam and Teth-Adam.

Circa 1200 BC, Shazam became a high priest to the pharaoh Ramses II of Egypt. As the wizard grew older, he sought a champion worthy to inherit his powers. The young prince Teth-Adam of Kahndaq (Ramses' son) impressed the wizard with his fairness and decency. But before Shazam could bestow his powers, his daughter Blaze made a deal with the god Set. When Teth-Adam spoke the name "Shazam," instead of gaining the wizard's powers, he was blessed with the power of six Egyptian gods: Shu, Heru, Amon, Zehuti, Aton and Mehen. Thus, though Adam speaks the name "Shazam," he does not draw power from the wizard. Teth-Adam served Egypt for many years, but this duty drew him away from his wife and children in Kahndaq. While he was away, the mad priest, Ahk-ton ravaged Kahndaq and killed Adam's family. The priest was powered by the "Orb of Ra". Adam could not apprehend Ahk-ton, so he entombed his family and returned to the court of Ramses. There he served as Egypt's champion alongside another great wizard, Nabu. Mighty-Adam was a success as a hero for Egypt, but his service kept him away from his wife, Shiruta, and his sons Gon and Hurut.

Liam Neeson as wizard shazam

Oh and I still want Henry Cavill as Superman to have a small role in this film.

I still wish he was Shazam instead, oh well
