Jake Gyllenhaal Captain Marvel Shazam!

Jake Gyllenhaal is rumoured to be in the running to play Captain Marvel in the upcoming movie Shazam! Apparently New Line Cinema wants to confirm Gyllenhaal’s commitment to the big-screen remake of the DC comic before he decides to fill another set of spandex. Supposedly Spider-Man director Sam Raimi has the Brokeback Mountain star in mind to replace Tobey Maguire when he hangs up his spiderwebs. “They’re ready to spend up to $200 million to get it started,” a source told the New York Daily News of New Line’s plan. Tommy Boy director Peter Segal is set to direct.
