The Rock has held talks over Shazam!

doom1.jpgCaptain Marvel, just like The Flash, The Green Arrow and Wonder Woman has been stuck in development hell for god knows how long. One of the big problems they have had with bringing the character to the big screen has been there continuing attempt to find someone who could play "The World's Mighest Mortal". Is The Rock (aka Dwayne Johnson) such an actor who could live up to such a lofty title? The man in charge of bringing the character to the big screen thinks so. Director Peter Segal has apparently held talks with the ex-wrestler over the movie known as Shazam! The Rock spoke to Coming Soon...
"Yeah, he did. Listen, John August is writing the script and he's a tremendous writer, and I'll just wait for the script to come in. But I'd love to work with Pete again, and certainly would want to work with John August. So there's a strong possibility."
I don't think it would take much to imagine The Rock as a superhero. He already has the build and presence for such a task but does he have the depth of acting to make you care for his character and his plight? I'm not so sure.
