Dammit, Johnson!
We’re just getting over the whole ‘Armie Hammer must be playing Green Lantern in the DC Universe‘ debate and then along comes Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson to stir things up in a new, but familiar way.
Speaking to Collider about finding the DC Hero Shazam for the big screen – The Rock is playing Black Adam, Shazam’s nemesis in the movie – Johnson said:
“I’m gonna throw one name out here and I wanna see how the fans are gonna react ot this. A guy who I met, after I met him I was like, ‘Man that guy’s such a cool guy, he’s a lot bigger than I thought he would be.’ And when I walked away I remember telling our who I’ve worked with for a long time, Hiram Garcia—we both looked at each other and were like, ‘Possibly Shazam?’ I’m not even gonna tell you his name, I’m just gonna say Lone Ranger [and yes, that’s Armie Hammer].
“You could see that right? I don’t know if he’s interested, and by the way, the studio doesn’t even know that we’ve been having these conversations. I just remember meeting him and walking away going, ‘Man that guy would look great I bet as Shazam’—and by the way he’s one of a handful [of names].”
Now, he was quick to say that none of this is official, it’s just talk among actors, but we know that the internet is going to go wild over this.
So what do you think? Can you see it or would you prefer Hammer for Green Lantern?
Let us know…
