          I just saw Levi on PBS in She Loves Me--he has a nice boyish charm, which is good for Capt. Marvel. A good costume and some days at the gym will take care of the rest. The casting of Billy is equally important.
          WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.

            Yeah, he has the personality for it...and I see a bit of resemblance given the right makeup.

            Just gotta start lifting weights now...

                Not bad casting. Better than some musclebound block of wood.

                  I like Zach Levi as an actor (and he's a super nice guy in person, too). While I would not have imagined him as Captain Ma---er---uh---Shazam, I agree that, with the right trainer, hairstylist and costume designer, he's got the sort of inherent innocence and naivety to play the character (if they're going with old-fashioned Shazam; I have NO idea what the new one is like personality-wise). I think Noah Schnapp (Will Byers on STRANGER THINGS) might be a decent choice to play young Billy Batson---unless they've changed that aspect of his character, as well.

                          A more modern costume is expected...

                            That first one is an abomination. But if something like "the flash" can make it into a big-budget JLA film, anything is possible.

                              I'm with PNG---that first one is a nightmare and just looks like he's wearing a face on his pee-pee. LOL! Second one is much more subdued and in keeping with the spirit of the comic. I imagine the final design will be somewhere in the middle unless they decide to take a page from GOTG and THOR:RAGNAROK and go all crazy colorful with the production, which might actually be kinda nice...
