No, Shazam is supposed to be 6'2"; Wahlberg's height is 5"8'. Besides, it'll be awkward if he has to costar with Affleck (6'4"), Momoa (6'4"), Cavill (6'1"), and even Gadot (5"10') in future DC movies.
shareThere is no way Affleck is as tall as Momoa.
shareBilly Baston is a kid and when he becomes Shazam he is older,about a foot taller and gains about 100 pounds of muscle. Mark is a great actor can pull off the role and is muscular but he is too short,I think Armie Hammer would be the perfect Shazam, I think Mark would make a good Ben Grimm in a Fantastic Four movie
You want tah fack wit me? You ah fACKING choiah boi compahed tu me ah choiah boi
Wolverine was supposed to be 4' 5" or 8" and they hired someone way too tall to play Wolverine who was loved better than sliced buttered bread... it doesn't matter anymore when it comes to height. They don't have to keep to the comic rules, and they don't. Half the time it works out for the better.
3rd generation American from a long line of Gottscheers... it was Drandul, dude!
Well to be honest, I believe the Rock would be a better Shazam.
and similarly Black Adam can be played by Vin diesel both are buffed up chars and both actors are perfectly buffed up for their portrayal
Mark Wahlberg could be a perfect Green Lantern, since Reynolds has moved to play Deadpool. They need, they should re-boot the Lantern movie.
