As a literal child trapped in an adult’s body, the role of Billy Batson requires someone with strong comedic timing and a whimsical personality–someone who could match Dwayne Johnson’s own charisma.
That is, of course, a tall order for anyone, but I would absolutely love to see Armie Hammer rise to the occasion.
Aside from the physicality depicted in this artwork, Armie Hammer would also make a perfect fit for Shazam based purely off of some of his recent performances.
He has proven himself to be incredibly capable as an actor when he’s handed roles that allow him to indulge in his more playful and fun-loving side (Ben Wheatley’s Free Fire put this quality on full display) and no DC hero embodies that idea more than Shazam.
