VARIETY is reporting that a deal might be in the works to bring the tales of Billy Batson, aka Captain Marvel to the big screen. Peter Segal, who just recently did the Get Smart film with Steve Carell, has apparently struck a deal to direct the film out of his own production house. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has been attatched to the role of Captain Marvel's nemesis, Black Adam.
This sounds like a good deal to me. Captain Marvel always should've been just as big as Superman in my opinion, and a well done film could be just the boost the character needs. It won't take much for this to be superior to the current Superman franchise, and the addition of The Rock is a perfect fit. Anybody got any ideas on who would make a good Captain Marvel?
