    Damn, they bring big DC cast in. Hope they will go light on exposition.
    Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.

    Kent Nelson is supposed to be an archeologist. His expertise would be in demand. Although Nabu would certainly remember Adam as a disappointing "Shazam."
    The narrative writes itself.

    The question is, does he need to? He has wide enough of a range for any action-heavy hero or villain you could throw his way, which is exactly the kind of roles he takes.

    I'd be worried if he was cast as Ghandi (not that it wouldn't be enjoyable in a different way), but for this? He's more than enough.

    I thought he was impressive in Jumanji as a insecure nerdy kid with allergies.

    shazam cameo, or end credits at least is a must

    Funny that’s what stood out the most to me as well. He couldn’t pull a Hugo Weaving and act with his face covered? I can understand the Hollywood desire to show Pierce as much as possible. Time to go dark on this movie to avoid spoilers. I’m now looking forward to it much more than I was.

    He has the body for action hero stuff but I don't know if he can really act as a believable anti hero. He always comes off as kind of goofy to me.
    It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

    Light on exposition as in “This is Katana. She’s got my back…”?

    He was the villain in the doom movie

    Cuz for first impressions, people won't know if his suit does that normally, is the suit ruined, or damaged, one would assume rather than scorched to have the lightning glowing n stuff, just like shazam

    Bringing up the horrible Doom movie does not help the case that he makes a good anti-hero.

    Nor does bringing up the Scorpion King before you go there.

    That's not how his costume is in the teaser, or in any art that I have seen, it always looks shazam'ish

    No need to post trailer on every page. I have seen it, it's odd, might be a reason why it's not glowing golden lightning bolt, he might not be at full power.

    They might go for that new look...or he might power up at the end of the movie.

    See the fucking thumbnail.
    Him powering n not starting 100% from the get go, would give him an arch, where he struggles n encounters those dc heroes n in the end he has a change of heart, then powers up, sounds pretty shazamish to me
