New Line are desperately trying to sign Brokeback Mountain star Jake Gyllenhaal as Captain Marvel in Shazam!

..... Uhhhhh.

Buh?

Because everyone knows Jake Gyllenhaal is broad-shouldered and burly and generally cheerful-looking. Yes.

Then again, look what they did with Tobey Maguire.

He's a little underfed for the Captain, but I can see that wholesome boyish thing working for him.

The guy is a super athlete. He's buff as hell. He just doesn't show it off. Honestly, I think his physique will startle people, much like Toby did.

However, I do have to say that Patrick Warburton is ideal for the Big Red Cheese IMHO.

No, I can tell he's really buff in some of the things I've seen him in. He just... He doesn't seem to have the right presence to me. Hey, it could work out. I'm just like you in thinking more towards Patrick Warburton.

I love Jake. Really, I do. And while he's actually pretty buff and muscled, I'm not sure I think he looks big or old enough to play Captain Marvel.

Mostly not old enough, as the other thing I could deal with.

Maybe he could pull off Freddy, and I would LOVE him as the voice of Talky-Tawny if they decide to use that character, but I'm not sure I like him as Cap himself.

Jake'd better get that body building going...

I am so sorry. I completely didn't wish you a merry, happy birthday. I hope that you had lots of fun and enjoy the coming year.

Holy Mis-cast, Batman!

Er..wait. Wrong character.

Holy Moley!

Nuh uh. Sorry. Warburton, all the way.

I could see Jake as Kid Eternity. Maybe Spy-Smasher. Not Cap, sorry. He's right up there with Nicolas Cage as Superman. Just ain't gonna work.
