Last year the first trailer for DC’s upcoming Shazam! movie was released. Now it looks like we have another trailer which gives us more footage from the upcoming movie and if you’re a fan of the comics, then this could be worth checking out, and we reckon that it actually does a pretty good job of hyping up the movie for its eventual release next month.
For those who are hearing about this for the first time, Shazam! Is an upcoming movie in the DCEU. It will feature Zachary Levi who stars as Shazam/Billy Batson, a kid who has the ability to turn into a full-grown man with super powers by shouting the word “Shazam!” (hence the name).
Judging from the trailer and also the fact that Levi is starring in it, the movie will have plenty of comedic elements. It will also feature Mark Strong as the movie’s antagonist, although previously it was suggested that the movie could have featured Black Adam (who would have been played by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson).
The movie is currently set for a release on the 19th of April so we have a little over a month left before it is released. At the moment Aquaman is the DCEU’s highest grossing movie, so it remains to be seen if Shazam! has what it takes to steal that crown, especially since it is coming in at a very different direction compared to the other DCEU movies released to date.
