Has DC found its response to Marvel's Thor is the shape of one of the other Hemsworth brothers? It could happen after a action-packed showing in the next Hunger Games movie.

Is The Son Of A DC Character Headed To 'Guardians 2?'

While way back when, Liam Hemsworth lost out on the role of Thor to his brother, Chris, it seems like the other actor could get another shot at wearing a cape and using lightning as a power. With the upcoming Shazam movie, he may be near the top of their wish list.

His name could be shooting up the list of many casting choices after his performance in the next two Hunger Games movies promise to have Hemsworth showing off his action side more and possibly displaying that he is leading man material. While he would lead in Shazam, he would also have the aid of Dwayne Johnson to share the load.

Is This 'True Blood' Star Headed To Play A Superhero With The Rock?

Hemsworth could make up for losing Thor with this role, which could turn into the DC equivalent of the Marvel hero. Shazam is a magical, god-like being much like Thor and has lightning as a power much like the God of Thunder. Hemsworth also has the charisma and charm that would go along with the more lighthearted feel that Johnson has been teasing for the movie.

It also would give the actor a franchise within the realm of superheroes that would not require him to sacrifice as much as a random-named franchise, but would also allow him some prestige from running his own series.

If Shazam doesn't get him, someone will and one would think Liam would want to try and top his brother at the superhero game. Shazam is set to come out in 2019.
