My bad. I started skimming when I realized the article itself wasn't about the movies. "Snyder" was one of the words I was looking for, but obviously missed that.

It's actually just quoting some messages the guy posted on the Superman forum at CBR. So yeah, not really a proper article.
So, typical Bleeding Cool "journalism".
If you mean Gunn wouldn't have cast her, to my knowledge there's nothing actually preventing actors from appearing in both DC and Marvel films, though in practice it doesn't seem to happen much. (Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.)
If you mean filming conflicts, looking at the Wikipedia pages for the DCEU entries featuring Lois versus the GotG movies, there appears to be little production overlap, with the films almost trading off shooting schedules.
Djimon Hounsu (sp?) would like a word.
^ Yeah, as I said, it hasn't happened "much." I had the feeling there were one or two exceptions, which is why I don't know that playing Lois would necessarily have disqualified Saldana from also playing Gamora.
^ I'm talking about whatever Anwar was talking about in suggesting Saldana's playing Lois might have precluded her from playing Gamora.
True. It’s just that I saw Captain Marvel and Shazam about a week apart and he’s in both. Was amused that he’d be in those two movies specifically.
I am a father of a 14 year old and 8 year old....already stuck...
From watching Shazam...it really felt like that SHOULD have been Black Adam, and they just tweaked the story slightly to fit Sivana (I can imagine Black Adam coming back and seeing Shazam, then going to see Shazam's temple and getting what he needed).
The Rock has hyped this role for YEARS... just wondering if it was more DC FU Exec stupidity that pushed The ROck out of Shazam
I think Zoe should play Katma Tui in the Green Lantern Corps *AND* Komand'R in Teen Titans. (and she could do it... a couple other actors have done similar jumps)
^ I'd take Zoe in just about anything. Even my deep and abiding love for Adams's Lois couldn't prevent me from contemplating an alternate universe with Saldana in the part.
The exploding heads on the internet would would be of epic proportions. Some could barely handle Lois with red hair...
Which is pathetic, because it betrays their ignorance of the very first (and third) live-action portrayer of Lois, the redheaded Noel Neill.
Not to mention the double standard -- why don't they ever complain that the redheaded Jimmy Olsen has almost always been played by brown-haired or blond actors? (Not counting the complaints about Mehcad Brooks, because those were just racism disguised as purism, as proven by the fact that the "purists" didn't object to all the previous brunettes.)
I had always thought it was probably just that they were afraid he would overshadow the actors who played Shazam, and they wanted to make sure the focus was on them for the first movie.
And for 15 years she was a redhead, in the Post-Crisis series.
Like all women as they age - they dye their hair a multitude of colors...
