I can see Tatum pulling off the character of Shazam.
Guess yall disagreeing don't like his acting and don't think he fits the look?

Yeah,sb - check out the TPBs for the Booster Gold series and 52. I thought 52 was incredible. A year in the DCU without Batman, Superman & WW. Focused on The Question, Booster, Black Adam and other B-level characters told REALLY well.
ill check it out. thanks for the info.

I can't take Tatum as an actor. And if they put him in Shazam......
Co-signed.
I'm getting Jesse Eisenberg Lex Luther deja vu. They need someone like the guy that played Kick-***. That can portray that kind of youthfulness. Channing Tatum is more like frat boy humor.

They can do those camera tricks. Not a huge difference in height.
Batffleck was almost towering over Cavill.

Think it would be better if they found someone who looked more like The Rock in terms of facial features and build, because Adam and Billy are like reflections of one another, with the biggest difference being Adam's skintone. Of course I don't expect them to find a lighter version of The Rock or anything, but I think they could do better than Tatum.

Posted this in many threads before regarding the Rocks height.
Tatum is 6'1"
Paul Walker is 6'2"
The Rock is WWE 6'5"
If the Rock is truly 6'5", he'd be towering over everyone including Walker.

Rock only looks slightly taller than Tatum because of his conehead but dude is practically similar in height. Either way, Rock is no way 6'5" tall.

When dwayne is on the gear he looks like an absolute beast. If tatum will be opposite of him he better start lifting now.

DCs good at padding the costumes, they'll just give Rock pure spandex while everyone else gets a muscle suit

Would be cool if they made Billy a Samoan kid and found a square jawed Samoan guy built enough to rival the Rock.

Momoa would've been the closest thing. He's Hawaiian and Native American and a bunch of other mixed stuff. He's a legit 6'4. Only difficult thing would've been to have him cut his hair and beard.

I think Tatum might be able to pull off Captain Marvel. He was ok in GI Joe. I just hope there's a decent child actor to get Billy right, and the kid & Tatums' mannerisms need to match identically.

It really would be. Doubt it'll happen though
I find it kind of funny that they cast the film's villain a year before casting the hero

A year? Hasn't been like 3-4 years since the Rock announced he is playing Black Adam?
And they haven't even really casted Shazam, Tatum is just a rumor and not much else. Dude could be Hal Jordan for all we know if he is even coming over to DC at all.
By the way Rock describes it though, looks like Black Adam is more an anti-hero and wouldn't be surprised if they somewhat promised him a spin-off solo film.

May god have mercy on our souls if Channing Tatum is cast as Hal Jordan.
If I were DC, I would make a strong play at trying to get Jake Gyllenhaal for Hal. I know he already turned down the Rick Flagg role in Suicide Squad, but that would of been a gross misuse of him anyway. (Same when they had Tom Hardy.) He should be playing a big name character in a more significant film.

That he might be in JL (before Shazam is even introduced) totally points to thatA year? Hasn't been like 3-4 years since the Rock announced he is playing Black Adam?

Nah, he's talking about when Hardy was originally cast as Rick Flagg for SS.

Hell no. ramen can't play a hero if he gets booed in every arena. His cousin dwayne wouldn't want to make him look bad either.
