A motion picture has been announced that will bring the original Captain Marvel (aka Shazam!) to the screen.
I find that I have very little interest in most of these comic book movies. I may have loved the comic books of the characters involved but that love doesn't necessarily transfer to some other interpretation. I mean, I cared about Spider-Man by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. I cared about Spider-Man by Stan Lee and John Romita. I've enjoyed some other comic book versions of Spider-Man — though by no means, the majority. I have not been able to generate the interest to see either of the Spider-Man movies. In much the same way, I liked James Bond as written by Ian Fleming in the novels, I enjoyed the films when Sean Connery played him…and my interest in other Bonds, either in print or on film, is highly variable.
That said, when I heard about the possible/probable Shazam! movie, I thought of one thing that might pique my interest to see it. They probably won't hire him but how about Wallace Shawn as Dr. Sivana? Would that be perfect?
