Justice League Mortal
Justice League Mortal is infamous amongst DC fans as George Miller’s attempt to make a movie based on the super-friends team would have been fascinating to see if it hadn’t been canned back in 2007. All these years later, Shazam! gives us the next best thing by finally letting two of the Mortal cast play DC superheroes.
In the big climax, Billy shares his powers with his siblings, allowing the kids to transform into the Shazam family from the comics. The adult actors include Michelle Borth, Ross Butler and Meagan Good. Fans will be most excited by the presence of Adam Brody as the adult Freddy and D.J. Cotrona as the grown-up Pedro, though. In Mortal, Brody was signed up to play the Flash while Cotrona would have been Superman. After more than a decade since this project failed, they at last get to squeeze into some spandex.
Also, their co-star in Mortal would have been Armie Hammer as Batman. Another casting choice which might just end up going somewhere…
