I am – Hercules!!

Is Adam Brody, who played comic book geek Seth Cohen on “The O.C.” for four seasons, in line to play a major DC Comics superhero?

"Mad Max" mastermind George Miller has been in Los Angeles since Saturday, auditioning loads of hot young actors for parts in “Justice League of America.” A key excerpt from Monday morning’s Hollywood Reporter:

On the roll call are Adam Brody (Fox's "The O.C."), Joseph Cross ("Running With Scissors"), D.J. Cotrona ("Windfall"), Mary Elizabeth Winstead ("Grindhouse"), Michael Angarano ("Sky High"), Teresa Palmer ("Wolf Creek"), Max Thieriot ("Jumper") and rapper Common.

The cast of NBC's "Friday Night Lights" is well-represented as well, with Minka Kelly, Adrianne Palicki and Scott Porter also among those testing for parts. No costumes are involved in the tests, which are being taped as actors read script pages.

For those curious, Palicki, who plays Tyra on "Lights," is 5’11”. Winstead is 5’8”.
